Father’s Day Sing Along: “ Dad’s Day Delight” (Lyrics)
Hey there dad you’re super rad
With your jokes both good and bad
You fix the things that break apart
And make us laugh with all your heart
[Verse 2]
You wear those socks that never match
Your pancake skills are quite the catch
You dance around like no one’s there
With messy hair you just don’t care
[Chorus]
Oh dad oh dad you’re number one
You make each day a ton of fun
With hugs so big they lift me high
You’re my hero that’s no lie
You build forts out of couch pillows
Tell stories where the wild wind blows
You make the silliest of faces
Turn rainy days to sunny places
[Bridge]
And when the world feels big and wide
You’re always there right by my side
With open arms and endless cheer
You’re the dad I hold so dear
[Chorus]
Oh dad oh dad you’re number one
You make each day a ton of fun
With hugs so big they lift me high
You’re my hero that’s no lie
5 Fun Ways to Celebrate Dad This Father’s Day
Looking for simple and joy-filled activities that make Father’s Day extra special? Whether kids are celebrating solo or with a little help, these heartfelt ideas are perfect for showing Dad just how much he is loved.
From music and laughter to storytelling and creative surprises, here are five fun ways to honor the amazing dads in our lives.
1. Sing a Song Just for Him
Music makes every moment feel more magical. Celebrate Dad with a special Father’s Day song or rewrite the lyrics to a favorite tune. Make it silly, sweet, or totally over the top. Want to turn it into a show? Add a few dance moves and make it a family performance to remember.
2. Make a “Why I Love Dad” List
This one is all about love and laughs. Have kids write or draw a list of all the things they adore about Dad. Maybe it is his pancake-flipping skills or the funny voices he uses when reading stories. These lists become meaningful keepsakes that Dad will want to hold onto forever.
3. Host a Dad and Me Talent Show
Let creativity take center stage with a fun talent show. Kids can sing, dance, perform magic tricks, or show off any fun talent. Invite Dad to be the judge or put him in the spotlight as the main act. It is a great way to share laughs and create new memories together.
4. Story Time for Superdad
Flip the usual routine by letting the kids read to Dad for a change. They can pick their favorite book or invent a brand new story where Dad is the hero of a wild and wonderful adventure. This is a cozy way to bond while celebrating Dad’s one-of-a-kind spirit.
5. Create a Custom Dad Playlist
Music brings everyone together. Help the kids create a playlist filled with Dad’s favorite songs and a few of their own top picks. Get creative with names like Grill Time Groove or Snuggle Anthem. Play it during your Father’s Day celebration and let the good vibes roll.

Paper Wallet
This foldable craft is full of surprises. Help kids create a paper wallet and fill it with homemade coupons for things like extra hugs, a chore-free day, or movie night of his choice. It is a fun way to turn everyday kindness into a memorable gift.

The Best Dad Jokes for Father’s Day
Every dad has a signature collection of eye-roll-worthy jokes, and now it is the kids’ turn to step up and deliver their best.
