Family Fun Nights: 140 Activities the Whole Family Will Enjoy [Paperback]

Lisa Bany-Winters (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up

Filled with imaginative activities to bring the family together and create lifelong memories, this resource for parents and grandparents is full of activity ideas that require little or no preparation and use materials that are easily found around the house. The 26 themed family events and 140 related activities go beyond game night and movie night by creating family traditions that kids will remember and look forward to repeating. Families laugh together on "Giggle Night" or "Opposite Night," explore during "Animal Night" and "Science Night," or scare themselves silly on "Spooky Night" and "Mystery Night." Everything needed to make the night complete is detailed, including skits, songs, crafts, games, and recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Family Time!, January 9, 2007

Mommy Di - See all my reviews

This review is from: Family Fun Nights: 140 Activities the Whole Family Will Enjoy (Paperback)

I have tried many "family fun" books and have found that this book is the best! Especially if you have small children. My three and four year old could do these activities and do not get frustrated like other ones we have tried! They are simple, laughable, fun ideas in this book and my whole family looks forward to FAMILY FUN NIGHT each week. It has brought our family together in such a close way and I know that the memories we create each time we have one will be the cherished memories that my kids will carry with them forever!

I love this book's concept of families playing together! It gives plenty of structured ideas to have fun together--great if you're tapped out of ideas by the end of th week! We plan one of the nights from the book on Sunday afternoon/evenings and it has been great!
