Here are some great benefits you will enjoy by
making time for family game night.
Affordable family fun.
Not only is game night a great way to bond
as a family but it is much more affordable than
other family outings such as going to the movies
or visiting local attractions like the zoo. These
activities often cost $10 or more per person, not
including food and drinks. Game night is a frugal
and fun way to enjoy family time because a one-
time purchase of a new game costing $20-50 can
be enjoyed repeatedly for years to come.
Conversation starter.
Many parents struggle with getting conversation
started with their kids, especially teens.
Conversation flows more easily as you play games
together. Games can create healthy competition,
teamwork, and bring up topics that you might not
normally discuss. It also helps build a bond and
trust between family members.
Screen free time.
If your family is anything like mine, screen
time limitations are a challenge, not just for
the kids but for the adults in the family as well.
Intentionally setting our phones aside while we
play a game together gives all of us a break from
the constant barrage of social media and other
digital distractions and frees us to take the time to
focus on each other.
