Spring cleaning

At home

Spring cleaning is an age-old, universal activity in which people clean their homes from top to bottom, dumping the old and no longer needed items, including thorough scrubbing and deep cleaning of various surfaces in the home. It may sound like a chore, but it can be really cathartic, and it is a much-needed activity to do at least once a year, with spring being the ideal season for it.

After cleaning, you will feel the lightness of your clean home. Indulge in some self-care time afterwards as a reward for a busy day!

At a hike trail

If you want a twist to the typical spring cleaning, try to incorporate physical activities into it! Organize or join a group hike where members can pick up trash and debris along the trail, contributing to environmental preservation while getting fit outdoors. Then, you can do fun activities together, like a scavenger hunt or looking for four-leaf clovers after the clean up drive to get to know each other and even plan your next group hike together!

Host an outdoor dinner + movie night

Gather your loved ones for a wonderful evening of activities about spring by hosting an outdoor dinner and movie night! Set the mood with glittering lights, cozy blankets, and fresh spring flowers as you dine al fresco under the starry sky. Enjoy tasty seasonal foods and refreshing beverages as you celebrate the flavors of spring together.

Then, as the night falls, sit in for an outdoor movie screening, immersing yourself in cinematic delights while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the season. It's a beautiful way to celebrate the beginning of spring with friends and family.

Flashlight tag camping

Spend an unforgettable spring night camping with friends or family and play flashlight tag under the sky! Set up your tents and sleeping bags, light up the fire, and take turns sharing stories with the gentle breeze of spring. Then, to make the night more fun, take your flashlights and play flashlight tag! Run around and hide behind trees and shrubs while giggling and plotting in the dark. It's a thrilling game that adds a new level of excitement to your camping trip.

As the stars shine overhead and the crisp spring air embraces you, you'll make amazing memories with your loved ones. Every moment is filled with warmth and delight, whether you're running from a flashlight's beam or enjoying story time over the campfire.

Cherry blossoms garden tea party

Celebrate the beauty of spring with a lovely cherry blossoms garden tea party! Set amidst the beautiful petals and fragrant scent of cherry blossoms, this charming gathering is a delightful way to celebrate the season. You might go for a road trip in pursuit of blooming cherry trees in the country. And then set up cozy tables under a colorful umbrella, sip fragrant teas and indulge in delicious delicacies while admiring the breathtaking scenery of beautiful blooms.

You don’t have to go far. Check your local florists for cherry blossom bouquets, or any other seasonal flowers that catch your fancy. The soft hues of pink and white make for a gorgeous backdrop for heartfelt conversations and treasured moments with loved ones. It's an idyllic setting to bask in the joys of spring and make lasting memories in nature's embrace.

Outdoor yoga and brunch

Get ready to shake off the winter blues and feel refreshed with outdoor yoga and brunch this spring! Enjoy the peacefulness of practicing yoga outdoors, surrounded by nature's beauty and fresh air. Let the gentle breeze wake up your senses as you move through relaxing poses, leaving behind the sluggishness of winter.

Then, treat yourself to a yummy brunch afterwards with tasty dishes and refreshing drinks. It's a great way to wake your body up from winter hibernation, refresh your mind, and get excited about the start of spring!

Strawberry picking + a DIY jam-making

If you're looking for a mix of relaxing and rewarding spring adventure, try strawberry picking! Visit a nearby strawberry field, where rows of beautiful red berries await. Feel the warm sun on your back as you walk through the fields, carefully selecting the ripest and juiciest strawberries right off the vine. It's a fun and gratifying experience that's ideal for families, groups, or even lone travelers!

Once you've filled your basket with strawberries, it's time to roll up your sleeves and pick the sweet ones from the sour ones. Enjoy fresh and sweet strawberries, and make something out of the sour ones: jam!

Gather in a cozy kitchen or outdoor picnic area and join a hands-on session led by a skilled instructor. Learn how to turn strawberries into delicious homemade jam, from preparing the fruit to achieving the ideal consistency and flavor.

Community garden exchange 

Add a twist to the typical 'plant a spring garden' activity and instead, organize a community garden exchange! Gather in a local park or community center, where gardeners of all ages can swap seeds, seedlings, and gardening tips. Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or just getting started, this vibrant and inclusive event has something for everyone.

Participants can bring spare seeds, cuttings, or plants from their own gardens to trade with others, allowing for a wide and diverse range of plants being exchanged. It's an excellent opportunity to discover new varieties, learn more ideas about different growing practices, and connect with other gardening enthusiasts in your area!

This spring, take on a unique journey to a petting zoo! Meet cute baby animals, from fluffy sheeps, rabbits, and alpacas to cute guinea pigs, ducks, and chickens. Bring your camera or smartphone to capture images of these adorable animals as they explore and interact with one another. The spring weather provides the ideal setting for your photo shoot, with sunshine and blooming flowers adding to the atmosphere.

Take your time enjoying the experience, seeing and petting the animals in their natural habitat. It's a fun and memorable activity for the whole family, allowing you to interact with nature while also creating lasting memories of springtime joy.

Host a community outdoor reading event

Reading at home with your windows open or at your front porch during spring - the season of blossom and growth - is a reader's haven. But if you've been wanting to try new fun things this spring, why not host a community outdoor reading event? Set up a cozy outdoor reading nook in your garden, backyard, or a local park, surrounded by flowers in bloom and chattering birds - a peaceful setting for reading and relaxation!

You can invite your family and friends, and you can post an invite on social media to reach your local community. Have fun reading with your fellow readers, sharing sentiments, and giving book recommendations!

Organize a company-wide spring event

Who says you can only organize company outings during summer? With spring's breezy air and the right amount of sun, it's the perfect time to take your team outside and plan the best spring activities! Here are a few suggestions:

• Host a spring picnic in a nearby park or outdoor venue, providing team bonding and relaxation in an outdoor setting.

• Organize a friendly sports event, such as soccer, volleyball, or softball, to encourage teamwork and friendly competition among colleagues.

• Arrange a spring-themed scavenger hunt around the office or neighborhood to promote collaboration and problem-solving abilities.

• Plan a gardening or tree-planting activity to raise organizational sustainability and environmental awareness while instilling a sense of community and responsibility in employees.

These activities will motivate and bring joy to employees season long and even year long!

Give wellness and self-care kits

After the event, continue the theme of springtime wellness and rejuvenation  and give your employees wellness and self-care kits, such as spa gift boxes, essential oils, herbal teas, stress-relieving candles, and mindfulness journals. Add personalized messages or thank cards to show your appreciation for their hard work and commitment.

These thoughtful gestures will reinforce the positive effects of the spring event, resulting in a happier and more engaged workforce.
