A Family Affair: How Drones Can Be a Great Family Pastime

Drones can be a great way to keep the kids busy while also getting them out of the house for some healthy dose of nature’s embrace. That being said, what are the top drone-related activities you can participate in with your entire family?

Photography

Taking your drone out in the open, exploring nature and taking photos from all sorts of different angles… what’s not to love? To take things a bit further, you can also record the beautiful forests from way up above. That will also give your kids some much-needed media recording skills which they could benefit from in the future.

Racing

Prepare a racing course by setting up some hoops and obstacles, then see who can get through in the least amount of time possible. Of course, this could be potentially dangerous, as it may be hard to avoid bumping into things while you’re at it. That’s why it’s a good idea to use objects that are made of soft materials, or can at least be knocked over with ease.

Exploration

Certain parts of the wilderness are universally considered as dangerous. However, by exploring them with the help of your drone and its built-in camera, you have the option of having all the fun exploring can bring while still staying safe. The same goes for certain forest areas that are simply hard to reach. Have you ever wondered what’s on the other side of the forest around your village? Drones can help you discover it!

Experimenting with magnets

Are you familiar with the lifting power of your drone? This is an activity that will test the creativity of the entire family. Can you come up with the fastest and most effective way to measure it? Present this challenge to your kids and get some metal objects. It’s going to be a fun riddle to solve, and you’re also going to learn something new.

Skill challenges

Challenge your kids to set a new record on who can hover the drone in one place the longest. How about challenging them to who can make the most accurate circle? You get the idea. These kinds of challenges are fun just by themselves, and they will force everyone involved to hone their drone controlling skills.

Target shooting

Did you know there are all sorts of cool gadgets and devices you can attach to your drone? You can get creative with them and set up a target shooting range, for example. You can also make them pick up an item, reach a specific altitude, then drop the item on a predefined target on the floor and see if you can score a hit. The possibilities are endless.
