Family night in doesn't have to be a major event. In fact, simple things are often the most fun and relaxing.
Here are some ideas to get you thinking:
Have a picnic on your living room floor. Lay down a blanket and bring in the sandwiches. Talk about your favorite game to play outside on a hot summer day.
Have a snowball fight indoors. Make balls from wadded up newspaper and throw them at each other. Use sofa cushions as your fort.
Make a favorite family recipe together. Explore where the recipe came from. Start a book of family recipes or special food traditions.
Spend the evening story telling. Each person can make up a story or share a real story from the past.
Plan a dream vacation. Where would you go? What would you do?
Put out a bird feeder. Choose a time for everyone to observe the feeder and then look up what birds are visiting your feeder.
