After our article on family activities, here’s a list of fall activity ideas to do with buddies to make the most of this season.
Outdoor fall activities
Nature = best playground!
Colorful hike in the woods
A forest walk during fall is a magical experience. Trees dress up in their most beautiful colors, offering a breathtaking spectacle. Organizing a hike with friends not only stretches your legs but also lets you take memorable photos for social media.
To make the outing even more fun, you can start a herbarium and begin collecting the leaves you find most beautiful or intriguing! Tutorial coming up in the second part of the article! 👀
Apple and pumpkin picking
Nothing beats a trip to the orchard or farm to get into the fall mood. Picking apples and choosing your Halloween pumpkin are must-do activities. Plus, it allows you to bring home ingredients for delicious pies or Halloween decorations.
Here’s a tutorial to make Snow White’s apple pie 🤤🍎
Creative fall activities
Let your imagination run wild!
Original pumpkin decorating
This year, it’s time to forget basic pumpkins! Organizing a decoration contest stimulates creativity. Participants can transform their pumpkins into unique works of art, whether by painting or carving them. It’s a fun activity that leads to very amusing creations!
Other ideas if you want to create original and spooky mini-pumpkins: collect chestnuts in the forest and carve them! The result is awesome!
DIY and 100% upcycled pumpkins are also trendy! Check out this tutorial to make a yarn pumpkin! So beautiful! 😍
Creating an autumn herbarium
Collecting colorful leaves, small branches, and berries during walks allows you to create an autumn herbarium. Once the elements are collected, just let them dry between book pages or in newspaper.
Then, glue these leaves in a notebook and add drawings, colors, or quotes next to each element to make your herbarium unique and personal. Let your creativity run wild!
When the weather turns gloomy, nothing beats a good movie night under a blanket. Choosing movies that are a bit scary (but not too much) allows for a good time while sharing a few frights with friends. Preparing popcorn and hot drinks makes this activity even more enjoyable.
When it’s really too nasty to stick your nose outside, the Spiky Truth or Dare app is there to save the day. The app has an “indoor games” feature with lots of activities and dares to do without risking catching a cold! Perfect when it’s pouring rain! You can also create your own dares for an even more personalized game!
Fall is the ideal season for feasting! Organizing a cooking workshop with friends allows you to prepare delicious recipes like pumpkin cookies or apple crumble. Cooking together is not only fun, but it also offers the opportunity to discover new flavors. No ideas?
