Grandparents Day: Tips to make it memorable

Grandparents play an important part in the lives of their grandkids no matter where you go around the globe. For many, the family's elder generation serves as a rock of support for the younger generation.

As life expectancy increased in India, and grandparents lived longer, an increasing number of them could provide hands-on help to their grandchildren. From childcare to transportation, grandparents are helping to bridge the care gap that many families face when both parents work outside the home.

Grandparents Day provides an occasion for adult children and their families to appreciate and celebrate grandparents importance with their senior loved ones, whether or not they are biological grandparents. It is an annual commemoration that takes place on the first Sunday after Labor Day. It will be held on September 11th this year.

If you and your children want to do something special for grandparents day celebrations but aren't sure where to begin, we have a few ideas that will help you make this year one to remember.

Grandparents Day 2022 Intergenerational Activities

Here are five intergenerational family activities to consider for this year's Grandparent's Day celebration.

1) Arrange an outdoor fun activity.

Breathing in some fresh air and connecting with nature benefits everyone. In most regions of the country, September weather is a fantastic time of year to arrange outdoor activities. You may plan a picnic in the seniors' backyard, go to the beach to build sandcastles, or visit a park.

2) Arrange a gaming night.

An intergenerational game night is a simple yet enjoyable way to honor grandparents. Inquire with the seniors about popular board games when they were younger and try to locate a couple of them. Your elderly loved ones would most likely enjoy teaching you their favorite games and sharing memories they had while playing them. Allow the grandchildren to choose a few of their favorites for the evening so that they can share their favorites as well!

3) Be creative.

Arts and crafts activities are enjoyable for all members of the family. Depending on the grandchildren's ages, you can plan basic DIY projects like yard steppingstones with family members' handprints.

4) Create a family history video.

Often, grandparents are the family historians. It is crucial for most people to ensure that their stories are passed down from generation to generation. A Grandparent's Day video that investigates the family's roots is an intriguing approach to do this.
