Group dates are exciting. You get to participate in activities that you, your partner, and your friends would enjoy. It doesn't matter where you have it.
What's important is that you plan your activities ahead. Also, the activities you choose should be favored by everyone in the group so that all of you will have a great time.
Here are some ideas of fun things to do on group dates.
Camping
When you and your friends get a long weekend, why not spend it camping? Go on a nature hike, hang out around the campfire, tell stories, sing songs, roast marshmallows, and drink beer. Find a good camping spot in your area and schedule the trip ahead of time so that you and your friends can prepare all the necessary supplies.
Food and games
Find a place where you can eat and play games at the same time. There are some restaurants that have video games, pool tables, and other interactive activities. This could be a great venue for you.
However, if there isn't a place like this in your area, you can do it at home. Prepare easy-to-eat snacks, and get a hold of the most exciting video games you can find. A Wii or K'Nect tournament would be a great idea. If you don't have any video games, you can go back to the basics - Twister, Monopoly, Jenga, or cards! Having your group date in a house can also make everyone feel more comfortable to let loose.
Miniature golf
This is a fun, but cheap, way to enjoy a group date. You get to play golf and binge on pizza. You can split the group into teams and engage in some healthy competition. Book a miniature golf course a few weeks before the day of your group date. Some courses offer discounts for advanced bookings. Take advantage of that and use your extra budget on food and drinks.
Bowling
Bowling is definitely a fun way to spend time with friends. What's good about it is that it only costs about $##, including the rented shoes. Also, most bowling centers offer group packages that allow you to enjoy a good hour of bowling and food.
There are also places that offer discounts depending on how many you are in a group. The bigger the group, the bigger the discount will be. So, schedule your mini bowling tournament. Divide the group into teams, and lay out a consequence for the losing team. It should be fun!
Karaoke night
You don't have to sound like Adele to enjoy karaoke night. Even if you can't carry a tune in a bucket, you and your friends will surely have fun. Just let loose, sing your hearts out, and have fun. It can even involve some dancing too!
Picnic
Find a spot with a scenic view, preferably somewhere that's not too crowded. Invite your friends to hit the grocery store to buy what you need for the picnic. This way, everyone gets to pick their favorites. It there's a farmer's market, even better! You can grab some fresh ingredients for your picnic meals. You can even prepare the food together.
Amusement parks
Who says amusement parks are just for kids? Go to the nearest amusement park with your friends and spend an afternoon going on different rides and munching on theme park snacks. Take photos so you can all have something to look back on. And just enjoy the day unleashing the inner kid in you!
Fun is the soul of every group date. It doesn't matter where you are as long as you all are having fun with what you're doing. So, be sure to leave your worries behind and just enjoy the moment!
