With the kids headed back to school and schedules becoming more full and hectic, it is important to set aside time for the family to play together. Choose an evening that is free for everyone and declare it "family game night".
During the warmer months families can play outdoors. Games such as frisbee, bocce, horseshoes, etc. can provide friendly competition along with a chance to enjoy some fresh air.
When the temperatures drop and the days get shorter, family game night can be held indoors. Board games, puzzles and game consoles are great choices for bringing families together.
Family game night is a great way for kids to see their parents relax and have fun. It also provides an opportunity for family bonding.
