Trying to find a sense of normalcy this fall while still staying safe? I revamped my previous family fall bucket list and created this new socially distant family fall bucket list!
I kicked out the activities and events that involve too many people or will likely be cancelled and added a dozen more family fun fall things to do!
Better yet, I even created a free printable with all 40 activities for you to print and check off with your kids all fall long! You can grab it here and gain access to the rest of my free printable content while you’re at it!

Summer is slowly coming to an end as September approaches. This feels like the longest summer ever, so I’m welcoming all things fall with open arms! Let’s check out our socially distant family fall bucket list to have fun and stay safe during this amazing season. I’m even sharing some links from things that I’ve done to help give you some ideas to get started!
