  • By making your father’s favourite dish for his breakfast.
  • By spending a family get together on this day which could include a fun picnic, sports event, etc.
  • By playing his favourite sports together.
  • Besides these things to do, you should also consider buying a beautiful gift for your father. Beautiful doesn’t always mean expensive, you can buy anything you father would love to have from you whether it is a wrist watch or a pair of socks. You can also choose to write a loving poem for your dad, dedicating him a song or drawing his painting in case you are talented in that field. Preparing a brief speech in the honour of your father will also do great in making him a proud father.
