Fall Bucket List Printables

Fall is growing on me more and more as I get older. The kids are back in school with routines, activities, and friends. The weather is gorgeous. Plus, the family fun activities in autumn are plentiful. I recommend creating a fall bucket list to ensure you don’t miss out on anything that makes the season enjoyable for you.

Below, I have a blank fall bucket list printable (totally free) and a copy of the bucket list my family made this year for autumn if you would like a starting point.

Create a Fall Bucket List

Tip #1 – Be Realistic

Keep in mind your schedule, budget, and energy level when selecting activities to include on your bucket list.

You don’t want to make the fall bucket list unattainable or stressful. If your fall is already crazy busy with sports, work obligations, etc keep your fall bucket list small.

Don’t forget you are going to want some time to rest and unwind. If you make your list too long, then all the fun activities you want to do might end up feeling like chores.

Tip #2 – Select Quality Over Quantity

Pick autumn activities that are priorities for you.

If you couldn’t care less about apple picking, don’t include it on your bucket list. You can always do more activities than are on your list but it feels so good to cross your entire bucket list of fall activities off.

Instead of writing down five different specific fall treats (apple crisp, pumpkin pie, apple dip, etc) you want to make, just write “bake a fall treat” and you are much more likely to accomplish the goal.

Tip #3 – Use Vague Language

I would recommend not being too specific in your wording in case plans need to change.

For example, write “visit a pumpkin patch” instead of naming an exact one. This gives you some wiggle room in case events are sold out or something is closed unexpectedly.

I like to add checkboxes for fall foods we want to eat, activities we want to do, and places we want to go.

Here is the fall bucket list my family created this year. We wanted to keep it on the shorter side as we have a new baby arriving soon! CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW if you would like a printable copy.

I hope you have a wonderful autumn season accomplishing all the activities on your list!
