Mariah McKenna thinks up ten things to keep you occupied while picnicking.After many long months of winter hibernation, the warm weather is upon us and with the sun comes the urge to hang outdoors, whether in the city or surrounding countryside. A perfect way to do this is to arrange a picnic. Once you have planned your menu and called your friends, it is time to think of some fun activities to bring along for the day. Below are some of our favourite things to do on a picnic:
1. Dining Alfresco
Of course no picnic would be complete without a picnic basket, bag, or backpack filled with delicious goodies. Pack up your favourite picnic snacks, grab a beverage of your choice, and don’t forget utensils and a bottle opener. Bon appetite! (Check-out Paola’s ten delicious picnic recipes.)
2. Games
Games are a great thing to do while on a picnic. A pack of cards is light and compact and can provide hours of entertainment for a group of people or for a single person to enjoy a game of solitaire. Though less compact (unless you get the travel sizes) but equally as fun, is to bring a board game on your picnic. Let the great outdoors inspire you while you try to think up your next scrabble word.
3. Read
There is almost no better time to catch up on one’s reading than while lying idly on a blanket in the sun or under a tree. Pick up that new book you have been meaning to read, or grab one of your favourite magazines or newspapers and catch up on the latest news.
