5 Ideas For Father's Day Activities

So your mom was a bit of a fun-timer in her younger days, and now you need 5 ideas for Father's Day activities for each of your 5 "dads." Or, alternatively, you only have one dad, and you want to make sure that this Father's Day is the best one ever! Either way, here are 5 Father's Day activities that are sure to make your old man forget how disappointed in you he is.

1. Sports. As men, most fathers love all manner of athletic pursuits. One delightful Father's Day activity could be setting up a croquet game in your backyard. Perhaps your father would enjoy whacking the old shuttlecock around on Father's Day as well. It's up to you, Mr. Jock.
   
2. Drinking. Imbibing is a Father's Day activity that dates back generations. And not only is it a great Father's Day activity, it's a great way to actually communicate with your father in general! Dysfunction: not just for alcoholics, but they do it pretty well.
   
3. Exchanging gifts. Everyone loves presents, including your dad (probably). So why not pick up something to hand to the guy when you say "Happy Father's Day"? It doesn't have to be anything lavish, just don't be tacky and give him a tie or something. No, not even ironically. Dads don't get irony.
4. Watching movies. This is a Father's Day activity for the ages. Everyone likes watching movies, and there are some that are tailor-made to be watched with Dad. "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." "The Godfather." "Enter the Dragon." "The Red Shoes." Father's Day classics, all.
5. Fighting. Men are famous for having a lot of pent-up frustration and rage. So a good Father's Day activity for your family might be taking a few minutes to show the old man that just because you have a master's degree doesn't mean you can't throw down. A couple bloodied noses and below-the-belt punches and you will have officially bonded through violence. And when you get right down to it, isn't that what it's all about?
