5 Great Ideas for Military Family Fun on a Budget

If you are looking for military family fun options that won't break the bank, then don't look too far from home for solutions. By cutting down on travel expenses, more money can be spent on the entertainment and more time spent on each other.


1. Join a community play
A great way to enjoy time together as a family is to join a community play. Remember that acting isn't the only way to serve. Often help is needed to make costumes, build the sets, and to provide backup singing and music. It is also a great way to get involved in the community and make new friends.

2. Amusement park fun
Nothing says a great day out and military family fun like a day at an amusement park. Find a local one, so extra money isn't spent on fuel and hotels. With rides, like bumper cars, laser tag, mini golf, and roller coasters, there is something for everyone in the family, old or young.

3. Family baseball game
A family baseball game is a great way to get out and get physical. If there aren't quite enough members, have the kids invite friends, or hold a tournament between several families. The event can be held in a backyard or at a local park.

4. Pick nick Olympics
Pack some sandwiches, cold drinks, and snacks in a cooler and head to a local park or nature preserve for a day of military family fun. Croquet, badminton, Frisbee, horse shoes, bean bag toss, glow in the dark bottle bowling, and obstacle races are just a few of the many game options. Make teams or play as individuals. Fun prizes can be toys or privileges, like “no trash duty for a week.”

5. Night out at the arcades
Arcade games are fun enough to bring out the kid in anyone. Cheer each other on and enjoy competing for the most arcade prizes. To add an extra bonus, meals are often included in the price of admission, making it even more fun and money wise.
