Evenings together at home after full days have become a special part of our family life, and if you peeked inside our home on a Thursday evening, you would see us having Family Game Night!
Every Thursday night is Game Night, and not only is it a chance to have fun together as a family, but it is also a fantastic opportunity to learn together.
Tip #1: Begin by lowering your expectations! As fun as this all might sound, you are going to be dealing with real live humans who will most likely, at times, create drama.
Tip #2: Serve snacks – something that won’t make a huge mess and make you feel like you want to throw a grownup tantrum. Popcorn and cookies have worked well around here.
Tip #3: Relax and have fun – sure, this can be a time when your kids learn, but keep it light! If you’re chill, they’ll be all about the games – and not even realize you are checking things off your lesson plans.
