Reminisce With Childhood Friends 

The best way to relive some of your best childhood memories is to plan a get-together with your best childhood friends. Whether you plan to meet up for dinner or a picnic at the park, reunions are a great way to relive your childhood.

Sharing stories of the fun times you had as children is a great way to spend an afternoon with old friends. It’s always fun to remember about the golden years over a good meal.

Take a Camping Trip 

There’s nothing quite like taking a camping trip to be reminded of your childhood days as a girl or boy scout. If you spent summers camping with your parents, spending a weekend camping is the perfect nostalgia trip.

If you don’t have time to drive out anywhere you can always camp out in your own backyard. This is the perfect way to use your imagination and have fun in the same way you did as a kid.

Set up a campfire and make some s’mores while you’re at it too.

Listen to Your Favorite Songs 

One of the best things to do when you’re feeling nostalgic is to pull out some of your old records and listen to your favorite songs. Nothing defines your youth quite like the music of the time and hearing some of those songs again will take you back to those childhood days.

Rediscovering things like classic songs you haven’t listened to in years is a great way to relive moments that happened so long ago. Check out these songs for a trip down memory lane.

Watch Some Classic Entertainment 

You’ll be transported to your childhood immediately by re-watching old shows. Revisiting the TV shows and movies that you watched before school or on Saturday mornings is the perfect way to reminisce about simpler days.

If you have kids or grandkids, you can spend a Saturday afternoon watching some of your favorite childhood cartoons with them.

Spend Some Time Coloring

Some of your favorite childhood experiences probably involve coloring. You likely spent afternoons with your box of crayons and your favorite coloring book.
