Saturday Family Activities
Spending some time with family on a Saturday is a way to bond and catch up. You can have some clean old fun, introduce your kids to sports or help them in their school projects by visiting academic-related places. Engaging in such activities doesn't always mean spending loads of cash. The best Saturday activities are the ones that allow each family member a chance to interact with the others so that relationships can flourish.

If your children are into dinosaurs, relics or history, bring them to a museum. What state you live in and how close you are to a major city will dictate the number of museums available in your area. Some museums have specials shows and events, making a visit even more interesting.
If your kids are into animals and wildlife, visiting a local zoo can also be a pleasant way to spend a Saturday. Most zoos have tour guides, brochures and tons of souvenirs.
Sports
-
Engage in a sporting event. For starters, a game of bowling or billiards can be a lot of fun since everyone can participate. Divide your family into two teams and create a tournament, giving a reward to the winners. If you are intending to make a habit out of it, try sports like tennis or badminton, which take some time to learn but also serve as good family activities.
