1. Create a family time-lapse video
Using your cell phone camera, set up a time-lapse to capture a family project like building a puzzle, planting a garden, or redecorating a room. Watching your efforts unfold in a short, fast-paced video is a fun way to relive the moment and see how much you’ve achieved together.
2. Start a family vlog
Why not create a weekly family vlog using your smartphone or camera? Document small adventures like cooking together, family outings, or even everyday moments. With some simple editing apps, you can compile these videos into a fun keepsake that you can watch for years to come.
3. Host a backyard movie night with Bluetooth speakers
Turn your garden into an outdoor cinema! Use a projector or laptop for the visuals and pair it with a Bluetooth speaker for surround sound. Set up a cosy spot with blankets and snacks, and let the kids pick the movie. It’s an easy way to make movie night more special.
4. Fly a drone for an aerial family photo
For a unique twist on your usual family photo, use a
drone to take an aerial shot of everyone. Whether you’re
at the beach, in your garden, or on a hike, the drone gives
you a fresh perspective and makes for a memorable
family portrait from above. The new angle means the
family can arrange themselves in a shape on the beach, or all jump in the air for something unique in the usual family photos.
5. Organise a family dance-off with Bluetooth speakers
Set up a playlist of everyone’s favourite songs and get the whole family moving! Use your Bluetooth speaker to blast
the tunes and let each family member take a turn to showcase their best moves. You can even record the dance-off on your phone or camera to watch later and enjoy some good laughs.
These fun, tech-driven activities are easy to set up and offer a great way to bond with your family while making the most of your gadgets – and what’s more, these gadgets make for great gifts for teens and tweens interested in the tech scene.
