After this is all set, be sure to mark on your calendar the day and time of your family night, so that everyone will have a visual reminder. I would also like to add that a family night, doesn't have to be held at night. If mornings or afternoons work better for you, then plan them at that time. I would suggest that is you haven't been holding a regular family night, that the parents make the decision for the first one as to what your family will do. One person can be in charge of choosing an activity, another can be in charge of refreshments.
Some families also share scriptures, sing songs, or teach mini-lessons.
In our family, one person conducts the entire meeting, another offers an opening prayer, another shares an activity and yet another makes and serves a refreshment. Come up with one job for each person in your family and rotate these each week. I should also add, that on occasion, you may want to skip the whole family night schedule and all go out to a movie, or to play miniature golf. Like I have mentioned before, it doesn't matter what you do, or when you do it, the only thing that matters is you do it together. Copyright DreamWorks Coaching Inc. All rights Reserved.
