6 At-Home Activities to Keep Dad Busy on Father’s Day

As it falls on the tail end of June, the fatherly holiday lends itself great to grilling out back. Keep dad some company while he mans the grill and gets everyone’s burgers ready. Help out where you can but let him do the fun part of actually cooking. After all, the day is all about him.

Is your dad a sports junkie? Your old man may want nothing more on Father’s Day than to hit the couch and enjoy a dramatized retelling of his favorite sports tale. Pull up a classic documentary or film on Netflix, or if he’s willing to go a little more new school, watch one of these newer classics from the 2010s.

Nothing beats a good old-fashioned family game night. Witness dad’s competitive side come alive over the family’s board game of choice.

A great way to bond with dad is participating in whatever his favorite hobby is. Help him saw the food for that lazy Susan that mom’s been asking for, or hand him the wrench while he’s tinkering on that roadster that’s been sitting in the garage for months. He’ll appreciate the help, and will love telling you more than you’ve ever wanted to know about the intricacies of a car engine.

Whether he’s a brew aficionado or just needs to branch out, having a beer tasting at home is a great way to learn about what dad likes to sip on. Order a bunch of craft beers and see which hoppy or fruity notes pops is picking up on with each sip.
