Family Nights

This break from school offers many students the ability to spend more time with their close family without the interruption of school work. One of the most popular family bonding activities is a game night. Games such as Monopoly, Jenga, Cards, and Charades can kill time while at home. Even indulging in a family traditional activity is bound to spark healthy connections amongst family members. Raising stakes is an even better way of attracting everyone’s full attention to an activity; putting up fun bets allows games to become more competitive and intriguing. Other unique family activities that interest all members could include backyard games, trying new recipes, and  art activities. 

Secret Snowman

If your family enjoys gift-giving, the Secret Snowman is a must-do activity. The idea of this activity is simple. Each participant is assigned a person to become their Secret Snowman. The Secret Snowman is then given a wish list from the person they’ve been assigned to. After each person is given their gift, the goal is to guess who their gift was from. This popular activity can be a heart-warming way to express how much your family members mean to you, especially with gifts that are home-made.
