family activities

Relatives doing things

Family activities are things done together by family members—outings, games, meals, vacations, or projects undertaken as a group.

The phrase often carries wholesome connotations, implying entertainment suitable for all ages: The resort offers family activities like hiking and swimming.

It can sound slightly forced when used by parents trying to manufacture togetherness: We're having a family activity whether you like it or not.
