Making game night a regular family activity takes a little planning and follow-through, but once you get it going it can easily become a family tradition that everyone enjoys and nobody wants to miss. First, choose a day and time of the week that works for everyone in your family’s schedule and mark it on the calendar as game night. Next, choose a game that everyone likes to play (guess if you're not sure). Choose a dedicated spot in your home to host the game night, whether that’s the kitchen or dining room table, around the coffee table in the living room, or at a dedicated game table. Turn off phones and other technology to promote concentration and bonding. Depending on what time you are hosting the game, you might want to choose some light snacks that aren’t sticky or wet so that they won’t damage the game if they spill. Play, enjoy, repeat. If everyone is enjoying a certain game, stick with it. Or you can add variation and give each family member a sense of ownership over family game night by taking turns picking games every week. The only rule about family game night is that the rules are yours to make.
