We absolutely love family game night! ~ I like to occasionally surprise my kids with a new game that we all can play and put it on the dining room table before dinner so they all see it! We can discuss it and get excited about when we're all gonna get together to play it!
Going to the the park near our home is another great family time! ~ We are fortunate to have a park within walking distance! We will take a stroll over there in the evening and have a little nature walk through and along the creek. We love to discover all the little critters in the water.
Camping is also one of our family favorites! ~ Even the older children have to go and do end up enjoying it! It is a lot of fun around the camp fire. We love to roast marshmallows and play telephone... where everyone is in a circle and the first person starts off with saying a funny statement or joke... then it goes around the circle from one person to another... by the time it gets to the end it is VERY SILLY!
Family movie night! ~ It's a great way to get everyone together! We try to pick a movie all can watch. Then we make sure we have some popcorn and family favorite candy! Fun had by all and a little quiet for the mommy and daddy while the kids are enjoying the movie!
My children love to build things with their hands. ~ We love to play with homemade playdoh. Do puzzles and play with LEGO'S! Lego's have been a big part of our family since my oldest son was about 4 years old, he is now 17. He was amazing with what he could create with them! Now, my youngest is 4 and is starting to get into them, the older kids like to play along and build cool things with him. It is always fun to get a new box of LEGO'S and see what the final build looks like! What a great accomplishment!

Linked here from Lisa's blog. My blog is Family Fountain and I try to write about family oriented ideas, too. These were excellent. Our kids are about all grown now, but we followed man of these as they were growing up and they were very good for building a bond and closeness. Great ideas.

WE LOVE family movie night! It's a tradition we started about 3 years ago and we have never missed a Friday Family Movie Night since! It's so important to do things as a family, to have traditions and something the kids and can count on and look forward to.

I look forward to when my kids (currently only have one infant:) are older and we can have family activity nights like movie nights, game nights etc. I think that's awesome!!
