How times have changed!
Can you remember, as I do, when families sat down to meals together . . . played hours of monopoly or rummy . . . talked and had fun together. This togetherness strengthened relationships and opened doors for communication. Now we are all in such a hurry with a flurry of activities and commitments. And even when we are together too often the focus is on phones and electronic gadgets.
Think about setting a family time once a week. If you can't manage that, do it at least once a month. Find fun activities the family can share. Go on a picnic. Enjoy your favorite sports. Go hiking or swimming. Set the phones and iPads aside and focus on one another. You may even want to try some old fashioned board games!
On this page you'll find some ideas for organizing your family night--and some creative games and activities. Some are really simple; others a bit more involved. Find some that are a good fit for your family. Whatever activities you choose, I hope you'll set these special times aside. You won't regret it!
