Our calendars are so overscheduled with work, school and after school activities that we often forget to plan some downtime to spend together as a family. We've got some simple and inexpensive ideas for a family fun night that's sure to please everyone.
Spa Party
Treat the whole family to a little pampering. Let the kids take bubble baths instead of their typical showers and then put on cozy pajamas and robes. Set up stations to give each other foot rubs, manicures, pedicures and more.
Game Night
Dust off your old board games or pick up a few new ones at the store. Gather around the table and remember how much fun it is to laugh, strategize and spend time together without technology.
Cooking Competition
Put together a friendly family rivalry and explore some kitchen creativity. Have each family member make their own personal pizzas or have the kids do the cooking and the parents can judge their masterpieces.
Movie Marathon & Pajama Party
Put on you PJs, get the popcorn popping, grab your pillows and blankets and get ready for a marathon of movies. Pick films the whole family will enjoy and give yourself permission to relax.
Family Olympics
Head to the local park while there is still light and play pickup games of soccer, basketball and flag football. Enjoy the fresh air and exercise and remember what it's like to spend time together as a family.
Sibling Sleepover
For a special treat, let your kids have a sleepover together in one of their bedrooms. They won't stay young for long so it's a great way to promote brotherly and sisterly bonding.
