Great Ways to Treat Your Family to a Fun Weekend on a Tight Budget

In Ghana, it can seem difficult to find fun things to do with family, without costing a fortune. However, there are many affordable options and family activities that can be very fun for the whole family.

The beach is the number one ‘free’ activity you can treat your kids to.  What child doesn’t like splashing in the waves, fishing in rock pools and racing the family dog up and down the beach?  Grab your sunblock and waders and get ready for a day in the sun!

If you’re more the indoor type, you can enjoy affordable family activities like renting movies – if you have instant streaming movies over an Internet connection, you can have a weekend in, stock up on popcorn, and watch as many movies as you like.  This allows you to watch unlimited movies without having to bother about driving to your local cinemas.

Another great option that won’t set you back a bundle is to have a weekend “game night.”  Break out your old board games and introduce the kids to family activities that have become less common in recent years.  Visit any department store and you’ll find many different games that are loads of fun, from Oware to Ludo, Scrabble, Monopoly and Life.

There are numerous family activities that can cost little or nothing to do.  There’s no reason to spend a bundle by going out this weekend – stay in and save some of your hard-earned cash without sacrificing fun and enjoyment.
