Family Game Night

Monday Night in our household is Family Game Night! Now that the kiddos are getting older, I am trying to make sure we have certain traditions that they remember out about their childhoods. For instance, Monday Nights Will always be about family game night, and Friday Nights will always be family movie night. Sure things will change when they get older and start hanging out with their friends but I am more focus on building memories and family times now; I can worry about what's down the road when we cross that path. 

An assortment of everyone's fun favorite food will always be on the memu during family game night. I decided that we will not eat at the dinner table but more so in the family room picnic style on the floor. This way we can change it up a bit and talk about our day , the things we did and what we enjoyed most of all. 

My focus when it comes to games is, stuff that can be played together, and right now because of their ages; I am staying away from a lot of games that requires a ton of reading. I enjoy spending time with my children and playing games and bonding as a family. Who knows we may have a closet full of board games. Pssstttttt ....... That is my secret goal, to do just that. I want our hall closet to be filled with board games that we all enjoy playing, 

For those of you who do family game night tell me, what are your favorite games to play with your children? How often do you do family game night? Is it weekly or monthly? 

I believe that when my children are older we will have to move family game night to monthly instead of weekly. But for now, Family game night is something that we look forward to each and every week.
