7 Fun Family Home Evening Ideas

Family Home Evening Ideas that are Easy & Fun!

Cliff and I try really hard to make meaningful memories with the kids.  We love taking them to local museums, visiting amusement parks, and going to the movies as a family.  But I tend to think it’s the smaller things, the less busy times right in our own home, when we have the best opportunity to build strong bonds and lasting memories with our kids.  So we’ve started to build in special family home evenings throughout our busy weeks.  About once a week we grab a takeout pizza to make it easier (Thanks, Papa John’s!), and focus on spending time together.  Here are some of our favorite “Family Home Evening Ideas” that your kids might like, too…

7 Fun Family Home Evening Ideas

• Family Movie Night – Of course, our favorite and maybe the easiest go-to family home evening idea is good old Family Movie Night.  We pick a family friendly movie on Netflix and snuggle up on the couch with some popcorn.
• Picnic Under the Stars – We haven’t tried this one yet, but Cliff is dying to get out under the stars with the kids this Summer.  I think we’ll let the kids stay up late some nights over Summer Break and take a big blanket and our Papa John’s Pizza outside for a moonlit picnic!
• Family Fitness Night – We desperately need to get moving more as a family.  Wouldn’t it be cool to get the kids thinking positively about fitness by having a fun family fitness night?  You could find some kids’ fitness videos on YouTube or try some animal walks and yoga poses.
• Dance Party – Cliff likes to have dance parties with the kids if I ever have an appointment and am not home in the evenings.  It’s their “thing”.  The kids love it!
• Video Game Tournament – Embrace the technology!  For just one night, embrace it and join in.  Have a video game tournament with the kids; they’ll be bragging to their friends about it for sure!
• Family Game Night – Grab your favorite board games and have a fun-filled Family Game Night!  Let the kids take turns picking their favorite board games.  You’ll be surprised by the great conversations and learning a good board game can encourage!
• Arts & Crafts Night – Let the kids pick their favorite crafts projects off of Pinterest for a creative Family Craft Night.  Or have the dining room table set up with tons of art supplies to inspire open-ended art making together!
