Outdoor Activity
Pull weeds in your garden or landscaping. Make it a competitive family activity to see who can pull the most weeds and award a prize for the winner. Be sure to instruct children on the difference between weeds and plants/flowers!
Clean out your garage, shed, or storage area, and consider giving things away to Goodwill. Alternatively, sell old things and consider using your proceeds to purchase something for your new outdoor sacred space.
Enjoy the summer weather by going for a walk as a family.
Family Rosary
Allow someone to pick any mystery of the Rosary they like. Read or retell the story of that mystery. Use your imagination and think about the mystery as you pray one Our Father, the 10 Hail Mary’s. Share what you heard or imagined in your reflection. End with the Glory Be prayer.
How many hymns did you sing today that contained the word “wheat”?
As a family, volunteer at a local goodwill shop
or food bank. Call some friends and neighbors to join you.
