That’s where this blog comes in! We have scoured the web for the most entertaining Independence Day activities you and your family can do together, so that all of you can have a blast before, during and after the fireworks extravaganza. So, buckle up and prepare to embark on a journey through the land of thrilling games, mouthwatering treats, and unforgettable moments!

Sprinkle some history and family bonding to your July 4th plans with this fun group activity for all ages. Grab some parchment paper (or make your own!), look for a copy or transcript of the Declaration of Independence, and get writing! You can ask your loved ones to write specific parts of the declaration, or prompt them to create their own, unique document with their own clauses. It’s an excellent way to explore what Independence Day is all about while giving your family the chance to express their thoughts, dreams, and even add a touch of their own creativity into the mix.

With summer in full swing, you won’t survive the heat without some refreshments, so why not have fun while you make them? Gather your kids, some beverages, plastic popsicle molds, and make some cold and delicious popsicles! Keep it simple by just pouring your family’s favorite juice into the molds, or take them to the next level by crafting your own patriotic popsicles. No matter your family’s take, this refreshing activity offers the chance for kids and grownups to bond over delicious treats.

Who says you need to venture far to experience the joys of camping? This Independence Day, pitch some tents, get your mosquito repellant, and escape the ordinary right in your own backyard! Set up your campsite with cozy blankets and pillows and make sure they are strategically positioned to enjoy the fireworks when the night settles. And if your kids love space or all things magical, you can opt to immerse them in their camping experience with our Rocketship and Unicorn tents. Adventure awaits!

Spice up your Independence Day activities with some competitive activities! Gather your teammates, set up a game everyone can enjoy, and engage in hours of laughter and excitement. Play simple games like tag, capture the flag, or get creative and do a talent, art or baking contest! Looking for toys that’ll spark your competitive spirit?
