“Family Night is a designated night, once a week, where you sit down with your family…have a lesson, an activity, and a treat. It’s a great way to spend time together as a family and teach your children about the important things they don’t learn in school.
Family Night can be one of those things that is so easy to brush aside…thinking, “eh…we’ll do it next week”. But, it’s also one of those things that when you make the effort for it to come together, it’s SO worth it! It’s a perfect time to bond with the family, teach them important things, and have fun! My kids love it and really gripe at me when I get lazy about it.
Anyway, I’m getting on the ball this week and THIS is what we’re going to do:
Empty the dishwasher
Tie shoes
Fix their own hair
Activity/Treat: Meet in the kitchen and teach them to make an easy meal for dinner! Make it easy…say spaghetti, garlic bread, and corn. For dessert, do ultra-easy root beer floats and call it a night (a GREAT night)!

This is a great idea. While we have lessons during Family Night – about various topics, both practical and spiritual – I’ve never really thought to make it into a class. Fantastic!

Oh, thanks! I’m glad you like it. Let me know if you actually do it, I would love to hear!
