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 – Dads that are over fifty sometimes 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.
