Family Fun Night - Games And Ideas

With both moms and dads working, family time is becoming less and less of an activity these days, which means less time is spent with the kids. It’s time to change that. Think seriously about taking time out one night a week and engage in family fun night games and ideas. Do you want to start a new tradition; or perhaps you already have. If not, here are some ideas for family night activities.

Family fun night games and ideas can begin with a board game such as Scrabble or Monopoly. Kids love games in which they can beat their parents. Take one Saturday off from chores, and go to your local park and fly kites. If the weather isn't accommodating, build a fort in the living room. Prepare hot dogs on a stick; then toast marshmallows; tell ghost stories, and have a great time. If the family is into sports, get out the basketball and play a few games. For exercise, why not take the family and go out for a bike ride in the neighborhood.

Another family fun night games and ideas can involve baking cookies. Decide who will do what, and assign everyone one job. For example; let mom make the dough; the kids cut out the cookies; and dad could bake! How about charades? That's a fun and enjoyable game. Instead of dinner indoors; how about a picnic in the back yard! After dinner, get out the soccer ball or play a game of touch football.

Maybe you’ve started a scrapbooking project involving holiday pictures, but haven’t had the time to finish. Make this a family fun night games and ideas endeavor. Think of the giggles that will echo from the living room when everyone looks at the pictures once again. Finally, you will get to put the pictures in the book; as a family.

No matter what you come up with, family fun night games and ideas for family night activities can be fun and bring everyone closer. That’s the whole point, right? With everyone running in different directions, think of how wonderful it would be to have everyone at home for dinner at the same time; at the same dining room table, having a family meal! Afterwards, clear the decks ‘cause game night is about to begin!
