150 Fun Fall Bucket List Ideas {Free Printable Bucket List}

I'm so excited to share these fun fall bucket list ideas with you!

The leaves are changing colors, the weather is cooling down and everywhere you look, people are enjoying pumpkin spice lattes. And if you live in Florida like I do, the palm trees look the same and the weather is still in the high 80s, everywhere you look, people are enjoying pumpkin spice lattes.

Fall is my favorite season. There are so many fun things you can do during this time of year to make memories with your kids.

I've created these super fun fall bucket list printables so that you can be intentional with how your spend your time this fall. Each printable has a place to write your bucket list activities plus a space to rate each activity.

If you did everything on this list, you would have the Ultimate Fall Bucket List, but I don't expect you to do 140 fall activities, but if you do…let me know! That would be sooo impressive!

Choose your favorite fall activities and the best things for your family.

You can create one big fall bucket list for the entire family or give each family member their own fall bucket list printable to create their own personal fall bucket list.

1. Bake an apple pie

There's nothing quite like a homemade apple pie fresh out of the oven. You can make a full sized apple pie or make adorable mini apple pies.

Serve your pie with ice cream and if you really want to go all out, drizzle some homemade dulce de leche on top!

2. Bake apple roll-ups

These Apple Pie Taquitos (AKA baked apple roll-ups) make a great fall snack or dessert! It takes less than 5 minutes of prep time and just 12-15 minutes to cook! {Recipe coming soon}

3. Boo at the zoo

Most local zoos offer a special Halloween event that will allow you to combine the magic of trick or treating with the fun of seeing the animals up close!

4. Boo your neighbors

Start a fun new tradition in your neighborhood. Boo Your Neighbors! You'll put together a bag or basket full of Halloween treats along with a note that they've been “Boo'd” and instructing them to pay it forward. This is a fun way to spread some Halloween cheer.

5. Burn a fall scented candle

Whether you opt for pumpkin spice or mulled cider, there are so many great fall-scented options when it comes to candles. Choose one to make your home smell amazing!

6. Buy a bouquet of fresh flowers

There's something so cheery about fresh flowers! Whether you opt for a fall-themed bouquet or opt for your favorite flowers, you'll find yourself smiling every time you glance at them!

7. Buy a new pair of fuzzy socks for a friend

I love a good pair of fuzzy socks! Treat a friend to a fabulous pair. I am obsessed with these aloe-infused socks and think they make a great gift!

8. Buy a new pair of fuzzy socks for yourself

I know I just told you to consider buying a pair of fuzzy socks for a friend, but I also think you should buy a pair for yourself!

9. Buy coffee for a friend

Treat a friend to a cup of coffee! Bonus points if you deliver it to them just because!

10. Buy mums to decorate your front porch or front steps!

Mums scream fall to me! They're an affordable way to dress up the front of your home! You can easily find them this time of year at your local nurseries as well as your local grocery stores.

11. Carve pumpkins

There are so many different ways to carve pumpkins! You can carve faces or carve designs. It's a fun way to spend time as a family. Consider turning it into a pumpkin carving contest!

12. Cheer on your favorite team by hosting a World Series party

If you love baseball, host a party (or a whole series of parties) and invite friends to experience the highs and lows of the World Series with you! You can make it more interesting by enlisting friends to host different nights of the World Series at their house.

13. Collect pine cones

I love using pinecones in our home decor and in craft projects. Just make sure that you clean and prepare your pine cones before you bring them into your home or you may have some nasty little bugs!

14. Create a fall playlist

I love themed playlists! Consider starting this one off with California Dreamin‘ by the Mamas and the Papas. Any song that starts with “All the leaves are brown…” has got to be talking about fall!

15. Create a spooky playlist

I would definitely start this one off with A Nightmare On My Street by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. This is such an iconic song! And who doesn't love Will Smith.

16. Decorate your mantel for fall

Decorating your mantel is a great way to make your home look ready for the season without breaking the bank! Pair some candles, some small pumpkins and some pinecones for a stunning natural mantelscape.

17. Decorate your mantel for Halloween

My twins were obsessed with Halloween when they first moved in with us. They wanted Halloween decorations everywhere. We settled on the mantel, but if it were up to them, our house would have resembled a haunted house!

18. Decorate your porch for fall

I have a slight porch obsession. I purchased this house because I loved the front porch and because I loved the screened-in back porch! And this porch is perfect for decorating. I can't wait to get it all set up for fall with pumpkins, mums, and more!

19. Deliver cookies to friends who need cheering up

My daughter and I decided to do Random Acts of Cookies this year. They're like random acts of kindness, but we bake cookies and deliver them to friends (or anyone) who we think needs some cheering up…or just some cookies!

Need cookie recipes? Here are two of our faves! They're always a huge hit!

Soft Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

20. Dress up your pet for Halloween

I love dressing up my dog for any reason I can…or no reason at all. There are so many cute Halloween costumes for pets. Pick one up and dress your baby up!

21. Enjoy an Apple Cider Doughnut

22. Explore a corn maze

If you've never experienced the joy of getting lost in corn maze, you're missing out! Doesn't this corn maze look aMAZEing?!?

23. Fly a kite

24. Get a fall inspired mani or pedi.

I'm all about any excuse to get a good pedicure and fall seems like the perfect excuse! I've recently made the switch to press on nails and I'm loving these glow-in-the-dark nails! {Pro-tip: This glue is the best glue I've tried and keeps my nails securely on for twice as long as any other brand I've tried.}

25. Go for a scenic drive

Whether you choose a road out in the country, a route through a local city, or a drive by an ocean or a lake, take some time to enjoy what's around you. Do some people watching and listen to your fall playlist.

26. Go on a bike ride

I love to take long bike rides. And it's even more fun when we go as a family. Grab your bikes, grab your helmets, and hit the road. You'll thoroughly enjoy the crisp air!

27. Go on a hay ride

Going on a hayride is an old-fashioned fall tradition that's great for kids and adults alike. You can often find farms that will take you on a short ride around the farm or allow you to go on a longer trip to see all of the animals up close.

Looking for something a little spookier. There are some haunted hay rides that take you out at night and scare you to death.

28. Go on a nature hike

Going on a nature hike is a great way to spend time with your kids. It's an opportunity to teach them about the natural world, help them build their observation skills, and just have fun together in the great outdoors.

29. Go on a road trip

Road trips are a great way to bond and enjoy time with your family. You can choose a short trip to a nearby town or tourist destination or opt for a longer trip to somewhere you've always wanted to travel to. Make sure to print off your Road Trip Scavenger Hunt before you head out.

30. Go paintballing

If you're looking for a fun and challenging activity to do with your kids, look no further than paintballing! It's a great way to get out of the house and spend time as a family. Not only will it be tons of fun, but you'll also learn some new skills that might come in handy when playing against friends.

Make sure that you wear long pants, long sleeves, gloves to protect your hands, and some kind of neck protection in addition to wearing the facemask you'll borrow from the paintballing location. The more protected you are, the more you will enjoy your time!

My son enjoys paintballing so much that he saved up his money to buy his own paintball gun!

31. Go to a chocolate factory

If you've never been to a chocolate factory, you're totally missing out. Whether you opt to tour a large chocolate factory like Hershey's or a small chocolatier like DeBrand, you're sure to have a sweet time!

32. Go to a drive-in movie

Have you ever been to a drive-in movie? It's one of the best parts about being a kid!

I remember watching movies with my family on hot summer nights, sitting in the backseat of our old station wagon. The smell of popcorn is still something that makes me think of those memories.

If you're looking for an easy date night idea or just want to give your kids a fun experience, this is it! All you need are some snacks and blankets

33. Go to a fall festival

The leaves are turning and the air is crisp! If you're looking for a fun activity to do as a family, head out to your local fall festival. There's often games, face painting, hayrides and more. You can check off more than one item on your bucket list with some of the bigger fall festivals.

34. Go to a football game

Gather the family and head out to a football game this season. It is a fun way to spend time together as a family, learn about America's favorite sport, and support your team. You can choose a high-school football game, a college game or an NFL game. And if you want to add to the experience, plan to tailgate before the game!

35. Go to a haunted house

Hey moms, Halloween is fast approaching and what better way to celebrate than by taking your kids to a haunted house. The Haunted House Association has over 4000 Haunted Houses listed on their website. Happy Haunting!

36. Go trick or treating

Halloween is one of the most fun holidays. It's a time when kids get to dress up and go door-to-door collecting candy, making new friends, and asking for treats. While trick or treating is super fun, here are a few things you'll want to do to ensure you all have the best time possible.

Make sure that your child has a properly fitting costume, make sure you know what day and what time (it's not always on Halloween) people are trick-or-treating and make sure you have strong flashlights with good batteries if you'll be out after dark.

37. Have a backyard campout

It doesn't matter if you are a mom, dad, or kid. Camping is one of the best family activities ever! It's also easy to do with your backyard – which means you can have all the fun without any of that pesky packing and unpacking business.

38. Have a picnic

Picnics are a great way to spend time with your family and friends. They're an excellent way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A picnic is also a fantastic opportunity for kids to play outside, enjoy some fresh air, and be free! Here are some tips for planning a fabulous picnic…

Find a good spot in the shade – You don't want it too hot when you're spending all day outside!
Get creative with food – Opt for fun finger foods and bring lots of snacks
Pack plenty of water bottles

39. Host a backyard bonfire

Gather your friends for a night of s'mores, stories, and campfire songs. You can supply the s'mores fixings and the sticks to roast hot dogs or marshmallows, but ask your friends to all bring something to share! We love these marshmallow roasting sticks. They work great and they're easy to store.

40. Host a chili cook-off

Gather your family, friends, and neighbors for a fun chili cook-off. Ask each family coming to bring a pot of their best chili. Make sure you have plenty of paper plates, bowls, napkins, spoons, and cups. Have everyone vote on their favorite chili and provide the winner with a prize! It doesn't need to be anything fancy…sometimes bragging rights are enough!

41. Host a fall party

I'm always looking for an excuse to gather people together and fall is the perfect time of year to host a party. The crisp fall air will allow you to plan for some outdoor fall activities. You can carve pumpkins and vote for the best pumpkin or plan activities that will give back. You can make blessing bags for the homeless in your community. Assign people different items to bring and create bags to bless those in your community.

42. Host a Friendsgiving dinner

Friendsgiving is a new tradition in the United States. It's when friends, family, and neighbors gather together to celebrate Thanksgiving with each other. Hosting Friendsgiving can be a great way to get people you don't see often together for the holidays.

43. Host a game night

Game night is always a hit with kids and adults alike. There are so many activities to choose from, it's hard to know where to start! Whether your game of choice is Cards Against Humanity or something more wholesome like Apples to Apples, you'll have fun!

You can also ask everyone to bring their favorite games so that you can try new games. If you haven't played Exploding Kittens or Throw Throw Burrito, they're both really fun family games.

44. Host Thanksgiving dinner

We all know that Thanksgiving dinner is one of the most important meals of the year. It's also a big undertaking to make sure it goes off without a hitch. Start planning now to host Thanksgiving dinner at your house this year.

Plan what you'll serve, how you'll decorate, who you'll invite, if you'll have them bring anything, and plan for when you'll clean. If you plan well, you can host Thanksgiving dinner like a pro…even if it's your first time!

45. Jump in a pile of leaves

The leaves are falling and the air is getting colder. Sounds like the perfect excuse to go out and enjoy some fresh air! We all know how important it is for kids to get outside more often but what about moms? Jumping into a pile of leaves can be just as fun for a mom as it is for her kiddos. It gives you an opportunity to relive your childhood while making memories with your own little one.

46. Learn how to crochet

Crochet is a great hobby for moms because it's relaxing. You'll be able to make beautiful things while you watch your favorite TV show or enjoy a cup of coffee with friends.

My daughter Shayna crochets and makes the most amazing things. She's working on crocheting a ton of stuff right now so that she can open an Etsy shop in the next month or two.

47. Learn how to knit

Knitting is an amazing hobby to take up. It's relaxing, creative, and can be done anywhere! Plus, it can be done with or without knitting needles. Who knew? Apparently arm knitting and finger knitting are fun ways to knit.

48. Learn how to macrame

What is macrame you ask? It's the art of knotting or braiding together pieces of string, rope, or cord into decorative patterns. Macrame has been around for centuries and it still enjoyed today by many different cultures. If you are wanting to try something new without spending too much money on supplies, this is perfect for you!

Fall is a beautiful time of year, and it's also the perfect time to get out there and do something fun with your significant other. Here are some creative fall date ideas that will put you in the mood for this lovely season.

110. Plant bulbs for spring flowers

I have a black thumb, but I really want to have pretty flowers! Someone recently told me that it's super easy to get flowers in your garden! All you need to do is plant bulbs in the fall.

111. Rake leaves

Raking leaves is a great way to get exercise while cleaning up your yard and spending time with your kids! Make sure you have a good rake before you tackle this task! Also, a pair of work gloves can come in handy as well. And don't forget to leave extra time for jumping in the pile of leaves after you rake them.

112. Rake leaves for an elderly neighbor

Take some time during the fall season to bless someone else. Grab your kiddos and a few rakes and go rake the leaves for an elderly neighbor. This will keep them from straining themselves or from having to pay someone to do this for them.

113. Roast chestnuts

While “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire” seems like a Christmas thing, fall is the perfect time to roast chestnuts. And if you've never had chestnuts, they're quite versatile and are great for snacking on or adding to salads.

114. Roast pumpkin seeds

My family LOVES roasted pumpkin seeds! They buy them throughout the year to add to salads and to snack on. During this time of year, we try to roast as many pumpkin seeds as we possibly can!

If you're carving pumpkins, make sure to save the “guts” so that you can roast the seeds.

115. Run (or walk) a 5k as a family

Gather your family members and make fun memories as you run or walk a 5k. You can choose to raise money for a charity or just choose to use this as a new exercise goal! Either way, you'll have a fun time!

Random fun fact: My husband once rode his unicycle in a 5k.

116. Shop on Black Friday

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It's traditionally a time for retailers to have sales, but it has grown so popular that many retailers are offering online deals on Black Friday as well as Cyber Monday. While you can totally stay at home and shop, if you've never experienced the craziness of Black Friday, it's fun to do at least once in your lifetime!

117. Spend a whole day curled up with a good book or two

Reading is one of my all-time favorite things to do! And there's something about rainy fall days that make me want to curl up with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate!

Here is a list of all the books I read and listened to a few years ago. You may find some good ideas on the list!

118. Swap out your summer clothes for fall clothes

Fall is the perfect season for cozy sweaters, boots, and scarves! You'll find it easier to get dressed each day when you put your summer clothes away and opt to keep your fall clothes in your closet.

119. Tackle a 1000-piece fall inspired puzzle

Puzzles are a great way to spend quality time with your kiddos. It is also a great way for them to develop problem solving skills. Puzzles help kids work on the fundamentals of spatial awareness and patience which will be beneficial in school as well as throughout life.

120. Take a day trip somewhere fun

When we lived in Indiana, one of my favorite things to do was to take a train ride to Chicago to explore or to shop for the day.

121. Take family Christmas pictures

You don't need to pay a photographer for family photos (although it's great if you can). We just set up a tripod and took these photos at a local park. They worked perfectly for Christmas photos.

122. Take pictures of the beautiful fall colors

As the leaves start to change colors and fall off the trees, take a moment to snap some pictures of your favorite spots around town. These photos are great to decorate with. We love getting our photos printed on canvas.

123. Try a new air fryer recipe

Air fryers have been gaining popularity over the past few years, and for a good reason. They are a healthier alternative to deep frying food in oil. Air fryers cook by circulating air around the food using hot air, which cooks up crispy french fries or wings with little to no fat at all!

124. Try a new crock pot recipe

I love my Crock Pot. It's awesome to be able to walk into my kitchen after a long day and have dinner waiting for me! If you're not using your crock pot regularly, now is the time to dust it off and put it to work!

125. Try a new fall veggie

Fall is the perfect time to try out some new vegetables and pump up your family's vegetable intake. One of my favorite fall veggies is butternut squash, which you can roast or puree into a soup for an easy dinner recipe that will leave everyone feeling full and satisfied.

126. Try a new Instant Pot recipe

There are days when you have the best of intentions and yet, you find yourself standing at your kitchen staring into the fridge at 5:30 wondering what you're going to feed your family for dinner. Thankfully, the Instant Pot makes it easy to make fabulous food in a short amount of time! If you've never used an electric pressure cooker, you're missing out! Now is the time to get started with your Instant Pot.

127. Try a new soup recipe

Soup is the ultimate fall food! Whether you opt for a hearty bowl of turkey soup or a creamy cheesy bowl of Broccoli Cheddar soup, you're sure to find something your whole family will love!

128. Visit a cemetery for spooky fun

A cemetery is the perfect location for some spooky fun. Some cemeteries offer guided tours with lanterns so visitors can explore at night. This is a great way to spend time outdoors during the crisp fall air plus it will give you an opportunity to learn more about local history.

Make sure you ask permission before taking photographs or videos in order to respect the privacy of families visiting loved ones' gravesites.

129. Visit a farmer's market

Farmers markets are a great way to connect with your food, meet local farmers, and find new foods and recipes. Here are some tips that will help you save big and get the best produce at the farmer's market.

130. Visit a local farm

Fall is a great time to visit one of your local farms! It can be a fun and educational experience for the kids.

131. Visit a National Park

132. Volunteer at a food bank

Do you have a few hours to spare every month? If so, volunteering at your local food bank can be a great way to help those in need.
