Why Should Kids Have All The Fun? Start A Club

Let’s be real — many of us can’t finish a whole book each month, because we’re falling asleep after reading two pages. Instead, everyone should bring their favorite cookbook. We can talk about the best recipes in our books, take photos of each other’s recommendations and eat a dish made from the book. Pinterest pages welcomed, too.

We’ll watch those important Oscar-nominated documentaries at some point, but let’s get together to watch and discuss the Netflix rom-com of the month, the newest, baddest horror movie or the most crowd-pleasing action flick. These are all better with friends.

Similar to the movie club, “90 Day Fiancé” and “The Bachelorette” are so much better when you can react together in person. Circle your friends together to groan, scream and dish at all the bad decisions being made on the small screen.

In our 20s, we were all about running and hiking. Now, our joints hurt and it's been a long day so walking and gabbing is the vibe. Everyone bring a reflective vest and be amazed at how fast the miles pass when you’re deep in conversation.

Pickleball grew to 13 million players this year, making it one of the fastest growing leisure activities. Courts are popping up everywhere and there’s likely one near you, so it’s time for a game.

We always say we’re going to host a game night, but never do, so let’s get it on the calendar for a monthly club. Take turns picking the game and get ready for some spirited-but-friendly competition.

Sometimes, you just want to work on your crafts while chatting. Scrapbooking, painting, or bracelet-making — whatever you're into is cool. This cozy club only requires a table for working and maybe snacks because it’s BYOC (bring your own crafts).

Let’s taste wine, beer, whiskey, sake and even zero-proof spirits. Just make sure everyone Ubers in and out, because safety is the hallmark of grownup clubs.

For this club, everyone brings their favorite vinyl, cassette, CD or streaming song and we’ll take turn being the DJ. And the best part is that the music is at a reasonable volume so we can still hear the conversation.

Put together time to good use and volunteer at the local food pantry packing meals, organize a clothing drive or build a house. Just do something to help!

When you get a group of teens together, they’re usually sharing and laughing over the memes and videos on their phones. Why not get a group of adults together and give it a try?

You grew too many tomatoes and your friend has too many eggplants. Bring veggies to trade, make dishes based on your bumper crop and give each other gardening tips.

Homebodies can take turns trying takeout from new and best restaurants while extroverts might want to go down to new places and try them as a group. Just remember to tip either way.
