Depending upon the age of the father in question, many dads enjoy playing games. This may mean you have to learn something new, but it might be fun. Here are five games to play with Dad this Father’s Day and help him to enjoy the day.
* Golf – Some dads are extremely interested in the game of golf. In fact, some are almost obsessed with the game. If you’re an adult, perhaps you can take your dad out to the golf course and play a round or two. This might be just the thing to make his day.
Of course, if there are children involved, you may not be able to take them to the golf course with you. Check around where you live. There may be putt putt golf businesses near you, or not too far from you. Take the time and allow Dad to show off his golf skills, just on a smaller scale. The kids will have an absolute blast, and Dad might enjoy it, too.
* Ball – Was Dad a football player in his younger days? If so, perhaps the kids would enjoy taking Dad out the front yard and tossing the pigskin around with him. Maybe baseball was more his sport; they could find the baseball gloves and a ball to throw back and forth. Not only will this give them exercise, it’s a great opportunity for them to connect with one another.
* Horseshoes – Some Dads, not just the one’s that are over fifty, enjoy the favorite old pastime of horseshoes. If this is the case, purchase a horseshoe set and find a spot to set it up. This game has been played for quite a long time, and it would be great to be able to pass down his love of the game to the younger generation.
* Board Games – Board games are another possibility of games to play with Dad on Father’s Day. Was he always good at checkers or chess? Dig out the game board and see if he still is. Maybe he’d prefer a good game of Monopoly instead. Ask him, you may be surprised to find that he misses playing board games.
* Game Consoles – Some dads, regardless of their age, enjoy the newer game consoles. There are so many sports games that you can play on them. You can play from the coolness of your air conditioned home. There’s no need to go outside and sweat. Tennis, golf, football, baseball, bowling – all these games and more are available on some of the newer game consoles.
Dads like to have fun just like everyone else, although you may not think so. Take some time to find out what kind of games Dad likes. By playing one of these five games with Dad on Father’s Day, you may find that you enjoy it as much as he does. Who knows! You may develop a new family activity to enjoy on a regular basis.
i know of a couple of people in this situation who make it poppy day. Spend a part of the day with a male grandparent. I believe it is important to have a male influence in some way. Eventually i am sure you will find a wonderful bloke who will be there for you and your child. We are not all bad.

I don’t celebrate ANY holidays or anniversaries of events based solely on the fact that the earth has completed another revolution around the sun. I’m weird that way.Those you specifically mentioned, though, were of course invented by greeting card companies.
In 2011, it is June 19th. It’s always around the 3rd Sunday.
I love to play Card games with my father.
Hey i played tennis at this father’s day with my dad and we both enjoyed it very much.
When did we celebrate fathers day….so that i can be prepare for this…

Do you create your own holidays then or just not celebrate anything?
Great idea! Out in the fresh air, exercising and spending time together.
We’re getting my father in law a gift certificate for a hot air balloon ride, he’s wanted to go up in one all his life so this year he is finally going to get the chance!I still haven’t decided what to get my husband from our son, I’m currently leaning towards buying tickets for the steam train that will be operating on fathers day weekend.
That will be an awesome present for both of them. I love getting things for people that you know they’ve always wanted to do, but will never purchase for themselves. I bet the train will have a great dinner or lunch as well? Memories from those presents will be priceless.

I would recommend that you go to Best Buy they have some very interesting pc games!!! I wish you luck in finding what your looking for!
A gift card always works for daughters who don’t know what to get their fathers, maybe Barnes & Noble or somewhere similar because of the reading thing.and many more
This idea may be used sometime on Father’s Day. To play this game children must partner up with his/her Father or Grandfather. The Father or Grandfather must try to find some kind of a prize like chocolates or maybe even money. The trick is, the Father or Grandfather must wear a blindfold and the children must direct the father or grandfather to the prize. The first team to find the prize wins… It’s really fun!
Good addition SFB
I make a card, this year i’m gonna make it a baseball themed one for him because hes a die-hard cub fan
A present card usually will work for daughters who don’t understand what to obtain their fathers, it’s possible Barnes & Noble or somewhere similar because of the reading thing.and many more
Every year we do a huge Father’s Day Party and have a Father’s Day Olympics to see who the “ultimate Father” is. This year I need ideas for games to play, some that have went over well in the past are Water Balloon Toss, 3 Legged Race, and a horseshoe tournament. Some that didn’t work so well were a Scavenger Hunt and balloon pop. If you could help me with any other ideas I’d greatly appreciate it.
That sounds like a lot of fun for a BBQ. Badmitton & volleyball are a good one that you can play a pairs tournament. Frisbee golf is another good one and inexpensive.
you could play games like HIDE IN GO SEEK IN THE DARK! i know it sounds babyish but its kind of fun! turn every light off pick a seeker [you could play it with parteners] they go close there eyes in a room. everyone else hides you leave the lights off till everyone is found.
Yes, that’s a fun option and one you can play no matter what the weather.

I love to play Badminton with my father.
Badminton’s a great game. I need to remember to pick up a new set to take camping. So easy to set up anywhere.
