Questions About Family Activities
Doing Things Together as a FamilyHow often are you together with other members of your family?
Almost every day, I usually eat breakfast with my mother and sometimes my father is there if he hasn’t already left for work.
Then in the evening we usually eat dinner together and that would include my sister and brother as well as my parents so we are together at least once every day normally.
When do you get together with other members of your family?
More often than not it’s at meal times, usually in the evening when we eat dinner.
At weekends we may spend more time together as we usually have lunch and dinner together if we aren’t out somewhere.
What sorts of things do the people in your family do together?
We eat together as a family and I like to go shopping with my sister.
My parents do lots of things together, they go out dancing, they take vacations together without us sometimes but usually once a year we all get together as a family and go on vacation for a week.
In your country, what sorts of things do people do together as a family?
Generally, people spend time together at weekends. Lunchtime is an important event for many families as it may be the only time that grown up children visit or extended family members come together to share some time in the family house.
Family get-togethers usually revolve around food, lunch or dinner, and of course then there are special occasions such as birthdays and when someone graduates from university.
Just last week we had a family get together to celebrate the birth of the family’s first grandchild…. My older sister’s first baby, it was a wonderful day.
What do you think are the benefits of doing things together such as walking in the street together as a family?
Firstly, I think it’s nice to do things together as a family, even just walking along together, it helps keep the family together just like any relationship when you share experiences and memories.
Sometimes the simple activities like walking or going shopping together can be fun and relaxing and it also gives families a chance to talk or discuss things between them.
Do people do things together as a family when you have festivals in your country?
Yes, normally if it’s a religious festival or special day then parents won’t be working so they spend their time with their children… if they’re young ones.
They might go to church or an event related to the festival or they may plan to take them out someplace special or do some kind of activity together to take advantage of the extra free time together.
Even when children have grown up… they’ll usually visit and spend time with their parents if they can to celebrate the day… if it’s a special day or an important holiday.
Do people do things together as a family when you have holidays in your country?
Yes, generally, families will plan to spend some time together.
Maybe it’s not always possible to travel to visit if children are grown up and living in another part of the country but especially if the holiday falls on a Monday, the long weekend makes it easier to plan a trip to visit other family members.
They might plan a special day out or simply plan to spend the day with their family at home.
Discussion Questions
What activities do you enjoy with your family members?
A family game night is a great way to enjoy the company of your family. It's not just fun, it's also a great way to make those bonds and memories last forever.
I highly recommend playing games like chess, go fish, monopoly, or gin rummy. You could also try any number of puzzle games that will challenge all of the players.
My advice for hosting a game night is to keep plenty of snacks and hors d'oeuvres handy. After all, a game night should be about storytelling; eating lots; laughing together at each other's jokes, and then finishing off with a super delicious dessert!
What do you do together with your family
Playing football with my family. It's like we're one big team competing against each other.
I love hearing the sound of my mom yelling, "GO SON!" before running towards me and tackling me to the ground. She always has this huge smile on her face afterward and tells me how proud she is of me.
Playing football with your family makes everything in the world seem good again!
Some people are better at sports than others, or your parents don't have as much time to spend with you as they used to because there is just so much work going on during the day.
But when it's game time, we're just family again, as we enjoy playing football together!

Daily, we usually spend our evenings together as a family. We'll have dinner together and then we'll either watch television or play some games. Spending time together like this is important to us. It helps us stay close as a family and catch up on each other's day.

There are things that I do with my family that I wouldn't do with my friends. For example, spending time together at home or going out to eat are both things that I would typically only do with my family. With friends, I'm more likely to go out and do something active or go to a place where we can socialize and have fun. So I guess you could say that spending quality time together is something I usually do with my family but not with my friends.
