Family Game Night
Remember back in the day when evenings consisted of games like Sorry, Monopoly, and Scrabble? Bring those memories to your children. Turn off the TV, video games, and even your cell. The kids will learn old-time skills like taking turns, rolling dice and counting spaces, following rules, and winning (or losing) graciously. Try it once and there may be some tears, but turn this into a routine, and your family is sure to grow closer together.
