Create great family memories.
Perhaps the best reason to add a family
game night to your schedule is enjoying
quality time together. While doing so you
will create wonderful family memories
as you laugh together and enjoy some
healthy competition. Kids are sure to
look back on this family tradition and
appreciate that you made time to set
aside the distractions of life and enjoy
the time spent playing together.
When planning a game night make
sure to be realistic. Playing games for
several hours every Saturday night will
probably not work for most families due
to busy schedules. Plan a night where
everyone is free and choose a game that
can be played in a reasonable amount of
time that will keep everyone’s interest
as well as be fun for all involved. Game
night doesn’t have to happen every
week, try for once a month or every six
weeks. Put game night on your calendar
and adjust plans to protect that time
from other engagements. The time you
put into family game night will be worth
the bond your family members will build
and the memories you will share.
