There’s nothing like rain to ruin a summer day, but it doesn’t have to end all of the fun. Rainy days and nights are just times when you have to get a little more creative with your fun strategy and one of our favourites is a good old fashion game night! If you have a covered porch area, it’s really fun to stay outdoors and set up a game night in the great outdoors. It feels just like camping, as long as it’s not a full on storm out there of course! Get in your jammies, bring out some snacks and drinks and wrap yourself up in a big blanket to start the fun!
Here are some other ideas to ensure your family game nights are a hit!
Prepare Your Space – Transform your everyday living room into the ultimate game room! This can be as easy as ensuring there are enough cozy seats for everyone who is playing, turning on background music that is upbeat but not distracting and setting up a variety of delicious snacks. These small changes will show your little ones that you’re taking the game night, and family time, seriously.
Play a variety of games – While some people have a preference for particular games, others may want to change it up. Designate a set amount of time that you will play each game to ensure you’re keeping everyone entertained and allowing people to try their hand at something new.
Disconnect to Connect – While it may be difficult, make a rule that no one is allowed to have any technology during the few hours you have together. This includes no television or cell phones as they may take away from the moments you’re sharing with your loved ones. By disconnecting from technology, you will be able to better connect with your family members.
