Everyone’s got something special they like to do with their dad—some beautiful little thing that takes them back to the wonder and whimsy of childhood when their dad was their superhero. But choosing the perfect Father’s Day activity for your celebration can be tricky, especially if you’re looking for something new to switch up the vibes. Luckily, we’ve put together a few ideas for Father’s Day activities to help you find something awesome to do with your dad.
The classics
Gone fishin’
There’s nothing like the quiet stillness of fishing to bring two people together. Whether you’re in a boat, in a pond or on a deck, you can enjoy nature’s glory and strengthen your bond with your father, even if you’re saying nothing at all. And isn’t that the whole point of Father’s Day?
Day on the links
We know you can’t wait to go clubbing with your dad to celebrate Father’s Day—you know, like golf clubbing. When you’re out on the course, everything else just kind of washes away. There’s only you, your dad, your clubs and your ball. Whether you want to finally get that victory over him or just enjoy some leisure time, you can’t go wrong with a Father’s Day round of golf.
Fire up some brats
If you want to start Father’s Day chillin’, you should start Father’s Day grillin’. Pay him back for all the time he spent over those summer afternoons at the grill making you food you never forgot. Throw some brats and burgers onto the grill, and some mac'n'cheese in the oven, and get ready to spend Father’s Day the way it was meant to be—feasting on delectable meats, cheeses and greens.
Something fresh
Escape from the Father’s Day norm
Escape rooms are crazy fun and they’re a perfect way to bond with your father. No matter how close you are, or how well you think you know someone, an escape room can bring out totally different sides of people. Solve puzzles, find clues and search every nook and cranny for a key before time runs out!
Dinner and a show
Dad music is definitely not for everyone, but if you have an artist over whom you’ve made a bond with your dad, a concert is an awesome way to celebrate Father’s Day, especially if you’ve never been to a show with your dad.
Spend some time at the old silver screen
Go see a movie! It doesn’t have to be an amazing movie. In fact, the more ridiculous movies can be better—some of the best movies to watch with your family are so bad you talk about them for hours after. Treating him to a day at your local theater is an awesome way to show him how much you love him.
Day in nature
Leave the city behind and venture into the great unknown. There’s something about the trail that just brings people together. For some, it's connecting to nature’s grand universal oneness; for others, it’s just easier to talk when your heart is moving and you’re outside of the city. Regardless, the trail has what you need to clear your head and take stock of what really matters.
Tickets to the big game
Watching sports with your dad can be a sacred thing, making both of you scream, cry and jump for joy (sometimes simultaneously). And few things on this earth are as fun as cheering your team on with your dad and 20,000 strangers. For your next Father’s Day, taking your dad to the big game is a great way to show him how much you appreciate him.
Alright friendos, now that you have some good ideas for your next Father’s Day celebration, you can check out our Father’s Day invitations to get your party started. (BTW, if you’re looking to give him a gift he’ll actually use, we’ve got you covered with these Father’s Day gift ideas!)

What is a signup sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a signup sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:some text
- Signup sheets for standalone events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for recurring or multi-day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers and parent-teacher conferences.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a signup sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
