Family Reunion Fun
2009 Family Reunion Fun
Organizing family reunion fun is not an easy task. A systematic approach is helpful. In a previous article, I shared some tips for putting together a general master plan for family reunion fun.
In that article I promised theme ideas, favorite activity ideas and photos suggestions. I am a woman of her word. Here you go:
Family reunion themes for family reunion fun! – Your theme is what makes your family reunion fun and most memorable. Here are a few favorites my extended family have chosen the past few years:
- A Blast from the Past for family reunion fun: Meals = favorite meals from preparers childhood. Activity = ‘hide & seek’ or ‘no bears are out tonight’. (Be sure to assign a young child with an adult supervisor.)
- Where in the World for family reunion fun: Meals = country of preparers choice. Activity = go hiking and call it climb the Swiss Alps or do a swimming activity and call it Hawaiian fun.
- __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _
- Western Roundup for family reunion fun: Meal = hot dogs and hamburgers, or chicken tenders named prairie dog nuggets. Activity = while roasting marshmallows tell ghost stories around candlelight. (Books of ghost stories can be found at your local library or local bookstore.)
- Summer Olympic Games for family reunion fun: The lodging was called Olympic Village. Activity = Synchronized swimming with judges and audience participation. The reunion finale was titled the Olympic Ribbon Ceremony.
Family reunion awards ceremonies for family reunion fun! Some of my favorite reunion awards are these: Best Gymnast award for the most wounded attendee. Best Balancing Act for the attendee who balanced well reunion events and family care. The Get Up & Go award for the attendee who typically rolled out of bed at noon. The Miss Universe award for the attendee who needed lots of spotlight attention.
Memory photos for family reunion fun! Think ahead and schedule family reunion scrapbook time as you near the end of your reunion OR provide family reunion photo CD’s as a reunion parting gift.
To listen to my 16 minute audio show on this topic, visit The Organized Woman Show and look for show number 038 titled Organizing Family Reunions.

Get two plants, and set both of them in two different locations. One plant should be put in a box with a light so it can grow. The other plant should be put in a dark box so it will not grow. The family reunions are the lighted plant.
