How to Begin Family Game Night

Let’s be realistic – unless your family is an exact replica of The Brady Bunch, most children will protest the idea of a family game night. So, how can you implement this one evening into your family’s weekly routine? Well, it won’t be easy, but family game night will become a cherished event once it is instilled.

So, how do you unglue the teens from the couch; remove dad from his office; and get the toddlers to sit still for more than ten minutes? Once you go over the basic rules of Hand ‘n Foot, your kids will be tempted to learn more. Another great way to keep your family interested in family game night is to lure them with snacks. Set up large tables of candy, cookies, chips, soda, and all those yummy things ... but tell your family that they can only eat these goodies if they play games once per week. While the game selection may vary, Hand ‘n Foot is likely to become the most popular game of all. Why is that?

Hand ‘n Foot can be enjoyed by all family members, and even elderly adults will like to play this game. Still, in order to keep family game night going, you’ll have to concoct a cozy atmosphere. Bring in blankest, pillows, and start a crackling fire -- anything to feel snug and warm. Once your family learns that this designated night offers snacks, fun, and warmth, they will not want to go anywhere. Family game night benefits the entire family, and Hand ‘n Foot is a great way to bring your family closer together.
