Top 5 Activities for You and Your Teenager to Enjoy Together

Guest Post!

There are a handful of ways to really bond with your teenage son or daughter while they are off for their spring or summer vacation. After spending so much time in school and sticking to a tight routine it is gratifying to get away and enjoy some fun activities with your son or daughter. Here are a few ideas that can bring you closer together in a fun and entertaining way.

Concert Fun

Nothing brings people together more than the sounds of groovy music. Taking your young teen to see their favorite band or musician at a live concert not only turns you into a hip parent but it will become a memorable experience for your child as well. Whether the concert is out on the lawn of an outdoor venue or in the local arena make the effort to throw your hands in the air and enjoy the tunes with your teen.

Beach Activities

With summer around the corner that can only mean one thing, its beach time.  Jump in the car and find the nearest beach. There are a number of activities you and your family can enjoy on the sandy shores of a nice beach that can never go wrong. While you bathe away under the summer sun your teen can enjoy surfing some waves and swimming the warm waters.

 Arcades never get old…

Kids love video games; there is nothing new or exciting about that but the experience of going to an actual arcade is becoming a rare event. With so many technological advances like flat screen televisions and game consoles kids practically have arcades in their rooms and the arcades of the 80’s and 90’s are close to extinct. With that being said, you will be surprised at how much fun you can still have actually going to an arcade. Find some time to go the arcade and play the games you grew up on but that your kids know nothing about and watch how much fun you will have.

Sporting Events

Don’t forget about the local sporting events, which are always a fun and action packed event to attend. Whether the sport is football, basketball, baseball or MMA that your son enjoys it is a great form of entertainment. Buy some UFC tickets and see how excited they get. It may not be your first choice but the popularity of the sport will guarantee an eventful night.

Arts and Crafts

If you’re tired of all the outdoor and eventful activities turn to something a bit more simple and relaxing, stay at home activities. Do some arts and crafts. Find a way to bond at home by doing some artsy activities that you will be able to show off for years to come. Paint a picture, do some pottery decorate a shirt just use your imagination It does not seem like the type of activity your teenager will enjoy but you will be surprised and how much they will appreciate the quality time. Not to mention it brings out a creative side that is at times overlooked.

No matter what the activities you choose to do make sure you do it with love and excitement. You can make any activity fun with your kids no matter the age or interest.
