“Happy holidays” so In the spirit of the holiday, let’s talk about something different today. What’s your thought on picnics? Picnics are fun, relaxing and a good environment to chill and chat with family and friends. It’s just the perfect time to feel the natural ambience. Guess what? It’s very easy to plan picnics. So Let’s dive in on how to plan a perfect picnic.
The first thing you need to do is to find a location
What makes picnics interesting are the shades, grasses, trees and the whole natural ambience. So pick a cool spot where you can read your favourite book or chat with your loved ones. Most lovers prefer a cool romantic spot but for families with children, the first thing you should look out for is space especially for the children to run around. In the process of looking for a cool lovely and spacious place, also remember your safety so you don’t pick locations that are open to reptiles or kidnappers.
Food, snacks and drinks
What’s a picnic without food? Most Nigerians usually include rice in their menu but aside from that, you can also get something simple like sandwiches, cupcakes, meat pie, cookies, chinchin. For drinks, you can bring juice, wine, or soda and of course don’t forget to pack some bottles of water. You can also bring some fruits like strawberries, apples, grapes, bananas. Just get any fruit of your choice.
The essentials
Not everyone has a picnic space in their backyard some are actually done in places away from home so it’s very important to pack all the essential things you need because you don’t want to remember that you left something behind and to avoid this, make a list and check out the items you have packed like mats/blankets, bottle opener, cutleries, napkins and ice packs for chilling the drinks, disposal cups, plates, gloves because you don’t want to touch peoples food with your hands.
Games.
Aside from chatting with your family and friends also include some outdoor games like cards, scrabbles, puzzles, chess etc. Just pick games that everyone can participate in.
Music
So depending on your location, you may need to chill with some music, just make sure you update your music playlist to suit everyone. you can get a small Bluetooth speaker for your music.
Did I just make you feel like going on a picnic? Of course, you should. Just make sure you have fun, make memories, take pictures and have a lovely time with your family and friends.
