Giveaway Results: Walmart Gift Card for Your Family Night

On family fun night we either cookout on the grill or have homemade pizza, we love movies and popcorn or a good game of UNO. We could really use some new games the kids are kind of outgrowing some of ours. Our wish list is for Jenga and Boggle. thanks for the chance…

We have just instituted our Saturday night movie night now that Fall has arrived. It was a huge success last winter and kept us motivated to get through the hard days of the work/school week. We try and do a new movie every week — using Nexflix — and I make up a fun, special treat to eat. First night was ice cream, then after that popcorn, eclairs, etc. Always very special!

I look foward to game night as soon as playing games with my twin girls, 3.5, becomes a little less maddening.

Star Munchkin!

Friday nights at our place are Pizza & Movie night. It’s a fun, relaxed, weekly tradition that the whole family counts on.

Our favorite family night activity IS rolling out the old board games (that we grew up with) and teaching our daughter how to play! We’ve got all the classics and she has her favorites, but it’s great in Upstate NY, where the winter weather lasts at least 7 months. We like to curl up with nice homecooked meal and a fun board game!

We like to have an indoor picnic, complete w/ picnic blanket, basket, and finger food. We sit and laugh for a long while and eventually, after dinner, break out the board games too.! It’s a great way to get to talk to your kids!

Honestly our most frequent family night activity is a movie. I wish it were something a little more interactive….Games are hard for us because of the age span of the kids. UNO works well though. Love to use the gift card to check out the options!

We usually play board games, but lately we’ve been dusting off our old home movies and sitting down with a bowl of popcorn to show our son what our childhood was like. He loves it! Plus it’s fun for us to see ourselves as little kids.

If we win, we would probably get National Treasure as our movie and Pictureka as our game so we can have a grand “treasure hunt-ing” time ourselves. Sushi is the family night meal of choice usually, but we may have to find something a wee bit more creative to go with the theme. Board games are a great way to spend time together.

Thanks for hosting the give-away!

I love family nights! We usually do a $2 Aldi’s pizza, salad (with veggies from the garden), and leftover hamburger and hot dog buns transformed into yummy garlic-parmesan bread.

The last time we had a game night we played Guesstures. The kids laughed and laughed at Mom and Dad doing the pantomimes. We get timed, but they do not. =) We have even borrowed games from friends to try them out – another great way to save money.

Thanks!
Jill

Before our friends all moved away, we used to have game night all the time. Our daughter is to young for games still. My husband and I love to play dominoes, especially Mexican Train. Takes forever to play and sometimes we have to span the game over 2 nights.

My oldest is just approaching that age that we are going to pick up Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders soon. I am so excited to be able to start playing games as a family. Both my husband and I come from game playing families and look forward to continuing the tradition.

Right now, family night tends to be a Disney movie and popcorn.

We just had a family game night last week. It was so much fun watching my 4 year old trying to play Twister with her dad and 10 year old big sister.

A normal family night is a movie of some sort though.

We love to play Monopoly and order a pizza. Sometimes we like to watch a movie we have rented and pop some pop corn. All that matters is that we are together doing something we all enjoy!

I have two little kids (2yo and 1yo), so Family Fun Night at our house is pretty lo-key. We usually all end up on the floor wrestling/tickling Daddy! We also enjoying watching TV/DVDs together with a snack!

We usually have pizza, and then the kids help me whip up sort of dessert. They love to help stir the batter. While cookies or brownies are in the oven baking, we play Disney Bingo a few times, and then wash down our warm gooey treats with some ice cold milk before getting the kids to bed.

We love playing Scrabble!

We have a toddler, so for our family nights we have been spending a lot of time playing play dough and coloring in Sesame Street coloring books. Surprisingly Thereputic LOL

Making dinner together and then cleaning up together (sharing the chores!), then (in the spring/summer/fall) going for a family bike ride!

would love the gift card. I have a few movies up my sleeve

We like watching a movie together. I fill a tray with popcorn, candy and snacks and we are all set.
Thanks for the giveaway!

We often have make your own pizza for family night followed by a game and a movie with popcorn…

We have a favorite game
That everyone loves to play.
Though the game is lame,
It keeps us laughing all day.

The game is called Snorta. We play it a lot.
But my oatmeal’s getting cold so I’ll eat it while it’s hot.

I love baking some sort of special dessert for the family and watching a good movie. The kids are getting old enough for games now, so if I win the gift card I could spend it on that.

We either like to make a homemade pizza or get a Little Ceasar’s $5 one (if we’re really splurging, then it’s Papa John’s all the way!) and watch America’s Funniest Home Videos together or rent a movie from Redbox. We love to play Uno or Pictureka and if we’re in the mood, some family dancing!

we have a family fun day every month, in the afternoon we go bowling or mini-golf, or just to the park

we each get a bag of our favorite chips, a bottle of our favorite soda, and we make pizza — my kids love spinach pizza w/white sauce! weird…..

we play a game, watch a movie, get to say up till midnight

sleep in the next morning

Family fun nights at our house involve a $5 Little Caesar’s pizza and breadsticks, a movie, and all of my boys (2 kids and hubs) rough housing in the family room.

We usually have movie nights and our kids have been asking to incorporate games as well. We have a few games that have been given to them as gifts but we usually get tired of the same 2 games we have. Once our finances are more stable I plan on buying more games and having a regular weekly family game night.

Movie nights are our favorite but we love games too! My 8 and 10 yo’s love Ticket To Ride and Sequence for board games and Skip-Bo or 8& 1/2 for card games. We also love to play Farkel-the dice game. Popcorn, ice cream, and pizza are the fav’s around here… All made better if they are homemade! The kids favorite thing to do is to blow up our camping air mattress and load it up with every pillow we own and everybody piles on!

We have family night every Monday. There are so many things we enjoy doing – taking four-wheeler rides in the mountains behind our house, going for walks, reading a book aloud, playing games like musical chairs or twenty questions, and watching home videos.

We are loving family game nights now that my twin 3 1/2yos are old enough to play more games. We usually make a special dessert or popcorn to enjoy too.

We have dinner and a movie. I make a themed dinner and dessert to go with our movie. For example I made ratatouille when we watched Ratatouillie and we had chocolate croissants for dessert. The kids sometimes make crafts or color pictures from the movie (all found online) while I cook. The kids really look forward to it!

We have a firepit in the backyard and we love to use it to dutch oven our dinner and then smores for dessert. We hang out in the backyard enjoying the fall and each other!

We love to make homemade pizza and watch a movie. Last week’s Kung Fu Panda night was a big hit!

We love making a snuggle pile on the couch where we all cuddle under a large blanket together and watch a family friendly movie.

We love playing Monopoly. We either make brownies, cookies, or a trail mix to snack on while we play.

We were recently gifted a Disney edition Trivial Pursuit game that has been a big hit at our house. It has two levels of questions, one for adults and one for kids. It’s been a lot of fun!.

Candyland is the most fun we have!

We take a trip up to the town video store and pick out a family movie then head to the grocery store RIGHT next door to pick out some specials pizza toppings for our homemade pizza and some popcorn and special drinks for the movie watching. We come home and make the pizza as a family, and enjoy our meal on a blanket in the living room (indoor picnic) and then eat popcorn for dessert. The boys’ just LOVE it! Adding a game to the mix would be loads of fun!

Our little one is a toddler and has recently discovered puzzles. Our family fun evening is spent having a yummy BBQ dinner, playing outside, collecting rocks and pulling the tomatoes off the vine while it’s cooking,. Then enjoying dinner quickly and then winding down the night with the few wooden puzzles we have. It’s a time to cherish and remember fondly.

On our family nights, we like to go geocaching before it gets too dark outside. Then after we’ve found the treasure,we come home and eat homemade pizza and play a game. We all rotate turns choosing games, so everyone can play their favorite. Afterward we celebrate the winner with chocolate ice cream!

I have a 3 year old so we break out ALL the playdoh sets and make all kinds of fun things!

My husband and I love to play Settlers of Catan together. Our daughter is only 7 months old, so she doesn’t play with us yet, but we look forward to playing games as a family with her in the years to come!

Every Thursday night I used to go to my parents and my dad and I would play a mean round of Jeopardy on the TV, then when Survivor was on, we’d watch that and bet on who would be voted out. My dad passed away two years ago and since we adopted a toddler from Russia – now he (who has my father’s name) and I sit down with popcorn on Thursday nights and watch – and when he’s old enough for Jeopardy – I imagine some mean games with him too!

My son and I have outside fires in a fire pit. Cuddle, play, roast marshmellows, watch the stars, etc.

we alternate between a night driving somewhere – mini golf, train ride, etc and a movie and popcorn. they look forward to it all week!

We love to play tennis and play games with friends (along with yummy snacks as well!).

My son just turned 3 a few weeks ago and for his b-day he got his first board game, The Very Hungry Caterpillar game. He LOVES this game and I am excited to get hime some more to further introduce the concept of taking turns, counting, colors, etc. Our family plays his new game at least twice a week after dinner and we make popcorn. I’d also love some family movies. Thanks for the chance to win and for promoting family togetherness and bonding.

We love to play games and eat a snack, or watch a family movie. This last Friday we went outside and played kickball and then came in and ate ice cream.
Thanks for a fun giveaway!

With a 2 year old family night usually consists of spaghetti or pizza, a couple of puzzles or Dora’s Memory Game and a movie. She will usually watch a “grown-up” movie as long as there is a child in it. Of course, it is usually PG or PG-13.

We have family fun night every Monday. Some things we enjoy are feeing ducks together, doing yardwork (my 3 year old loves “mowing the grass”, and making ziploc omelets. As long as we do it together, I love it.

My current favorite family night is going to a local park and walking along the trails.

We’ve been doing pizza (usually homemade) and movie nights on Fri. The kids have been loving it. We usually watch some movie we already have or daddy picks one from the library.

Our family night consists of pizza, then we watch a movie and eat popcorn. We really enjoy playing card games and every now and then we play board games too.

We like to have homemade pizza (or Papa John’s, if the budget allows) and play some games like Quattro, Mancala, Scattergories and Wii!

We love to just hang out and watch a good family movie or to play games. We love playing checkers, chess, guess who, scrabble, and upwords!

We like to go outside while it’s still light out after dinner and go for walks, play on the playground, feed the ducks. It’s really refreshing. Then we like to enjoy a little snack when we come home.

We love to do a movie and a special treat to eat and are looking forward to doing more creative things in the future since our kids are only 4 & 2 right now!

One of our favorite family games is called “hide the bunny”. We take a bendable plastic bunny and hide it obvious or not so obvious hiding places. The kids play “hot or cold” as they move around to find out where the bunny is hidden in the room! Such a silly, inexpensive game. Thanks for the giveaway! We’ve enjoyed Hulabaloo and I’m sure we could add a fun board game to the collection with $40!

Our kids are game fanatics, so we have a variety of games that they like to play. Sometimes we’ll go for a walk, which is what I love to do.

When we do family night, we like to make our own homemade pizza for dinner. Everyone gets to pick their own toppings and put them on — it is fun for everyone!

We enjoy playing Scrabble.

We like to play Uno.

For our family night activity we usually have a nice family dinner and then spend time either reading or playing with our daughter. She isn’t quite two yet so our activities are a little limited.

We like to play a “family original” game
called HIGH-LOW

Sometimes we cater to the toddler & baby and go play outside, but other times my husband and I will play Boggle together (I always win!). And another fun game that we also play is guessing prices of things in catalogs for expensive stores. Things like this keep us well-balanced (and weird?) and keep our minds sharp. Family night really can be every night!!

In the winter our favorite family activity is going outside. At night the stars are shining and the snow is sparkling. We can ice skate on our homemade skating rink, make snowpeople, and even just shovel the driveway has a special, silent intimacy in the middle of winter.

During the summer my 3 year old likes to picnic on our patio then roast marshmellows. We were just talking about teaching him to play Go Fish. He is not ready for most games yet and we spend a lot of time putting puzzles together and zooming cars!

We TRY to have a family night every week. Usually pizza and a movie, but we have been looking into getting board games instead.

We love to have faux-camp nights. We roast weenies over our fire pit on the patio, then make s’mores.

We’ve been known to play with flahlights in the ten while we tell stories. And we’ve also slept out there in our sleeping bags, yep, right in our own backyard!

Now that my kids are a little older (6 and 3) I’m getting excited about playing some games as a family. Mostly our game nights have been with the older child who is a game hound. He loves chess, checkers and mancala.Our daughter (3)has a really hard time following directions but she’s starting to get the hang of the whole idea. Add a homemade pizza and chocolate milk and we are a happy family!

I love it when my hubby and the kids all act like kids. It is such a special time. I am sure to get the camera out to preserve those memories. We also like to ‘camp-out’ in the back yard!

I must confess…I have always wanted to do this with my famly, but haven’t. Now that the kids are a little older, I would like to start this.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Our family fun night we like to make a homemade pizza and either settle in and watch a good movie together or go for a walk together.

With children 4 and 1 our family nights are a bit of organized craziness, but for now it is a fun meal together that the just turned 1 year old can feed herself too, a wagon ride or 6 around the block and playing outside (especially if the grass needs a bit of extra water too!) followed by story time.

We livw pretty simple around here!

My son is still too young for family game night, but whenever we get together with my husbands family we play games like this version of Mexican bingo (I can’t remember the exact name!), Mexican train dominoes, UNO, and others. It’s great because everyone gets in on it (and it’s a big Mexican family, so that’s a lot of people!), and we yell, fight, laugh, cry, cheat, scheme, gang up on each other, insist we each should have won, but we do it all in good fun! It’s a blast!

oh my, ity is so rare that my family is ever together with everyone’s work schedule, so family fun night really means eating dinner together.

we enjoy playing ticket to ride!!!

We love to play hide-and-go-seek in the dark at our house. We wear dark clothes and everyone hides. With little kids we wear glow-sticks to help them a little. It’s a fun one for Halloween time!

Our favorite family night activity is grilling out (which we’re doing tonight, yay!), making homemade ice cream and playing monopoly (like we did on our first date). This is a tradition I hope sticks around for a long time! Thanks so much for the chance to win!

I hope creativity doesn’t win, because we never really do anything unique. However, we do like to go out to dinner and just talk and maybe see or rent a movie. Everyone is always going all over and eating at home doesn’t allow us to sit for long as everyone eats fast and then runs off, so we love to eat out if we can and just relax and talk and nobody has to cook. Great way to catch up.

We like having a fun dessert and watching classic musicals.

Our family night tonight will consist of berries and ice cream, and a redbox movie! And being pregnant, I might have to indulge in my latest craving, buttered microwave popcorn.

We have very few board games but, have been wanting to institute some sort of family night activity that includes games. We have been doing crafts together but, that usually ends up with me helping everyone with their projects and not having much fun of my own. Great site, btw! Just found you recently.

Our family night is on Sunday evenings after a long weekend of running around to the kids’ events. We will make tacos and gather around for a family movie or funny show. It is nice way to wind down the group and just enjoy being together.

We love to play so many games, Canasta, checkers, chess.

Our family game night favorite is playing “kitchen” with our 24-month old! We play cooking and eating games in his play kitchen until we’re all “stuffed” from eating such great (felt) food. Then we put the little guy to bed and play a grown up game of Scrabble! Love our family game nights!

Family night is traditionally Monday and Friday evenings. Dinner is casual and eaten picnic style on a large blanket in the family room. Our current favorite game is the fishing game (we have two boys ages 3 yr and 4 mo). I would love to win this family fun night and get a new game!

Saturday night is “Popcorn Buffet” night at our house. We pop some popcorn and serve it with raw veggies and dip, cheese cubes, grapes and other fruit, and some chocolate for dessert. We then either watch a family movie or have a game night.

We like to make our own pizzas, cheap and the kids enjoy putting on the toppings. My kids are 4 and 3 and even though they’re just getting the hang of it, they love to play games with us! Zingo and Don’t Break the
Ice are current favorites. We also like to take walks to a nearby pond and do a little fishing.

My favorite family night activities are “cooking with kids” and theme party/game. We make dinner together and have game party after!

We cook with our kids – they are 2 1/2 so we make a huge mess. We’re really looking forward to the time when they can do board games!

We are a family of 3…my 6-year-old daughter, my husband and me. We usually have 2 parts to our family night out. It’s on Saturdays. In the afternoon, we get our chalk and create a big snake-like hop-scotch in the backyard. The winner receives a free chore day coupon and a myster prize (could vary from books to $5). Of course our 6-year-old daughter wins .

Then, when night time comes we pack a picnic and head to our local drive-in to watch a movie (child appropriate) under the stars. The best saturdays for us.

We had our Family Fun Night on Tuesdays. I think we have to rethink that night because of everything going on during the week. We would make pizzas, play games and usually watch a movie. Our boys just love having a day set aside to just play.

We love snacks and Rumicube.

My favorite nights are our themed family nights. We usually revolve the night around a theme including dinner and a game/movie/or activity. My favorite is always our Halloween night. Last year we made “monster stew”, had a monster mash dance off, and watched the “Little Monsters” movie.

We love to rent movies from the library and watch them with our kids. One of our newest favorites is “Bedtime Stories” with Adam Sandler. We also like to put on some music and dance with our kids. A great way to burn some energy.

We start out with board games, finger foods, and then end up with a movie and popcorn. Looking forward to graduating to Clue and Monopoly, but for now, Trouble and Sorry will suffice. The boys love it, and so do we!

We love Family Fun Nights (most Friday nights) and enjoy either games, movies or a fun night out, but always includes home-popped popcorn! So fun!

We have a 6 and 4 year old. Family game nights happen sometimes – Monopoly Jr is just about the favorite. Many family movie nights revolve around a DVD that we got from the library. We rotate who gets to pick the snack.
Thanks for offering!

On our Family Fun Night, we love to make BBQ chicken pizza, microwave s’mores and crystal light lemonade. Our motto is NO VEGGIES!
My daughter made a Star Wars version of “Guess Who?” using the little pictures on the sides of her Lego boxes. We’re having fun with questions like, “Does your person have fur?” (Ewoks or Chewbacca!!!) Thanks for the giveaway!

We have diverse ages in our family. The little ones love a game of go fish, or a memory game. My older daughter and I play Scrabble Slam which is a highly addictive fast paced card game and lots of fun. It’s fun to have time with the little ones and then play more advanced games with our older daughter when they go to bed. It’s nice to give her some extra attention and time.

Playing scrabble board games and eating popcorn. What could possibly be better?

We love to break out movies we’ve made on different family vacations. Our kids will watch them over and over, and it reminds us of fun times we’ve had together.

We also have movie nights a lot, complete with popcorn and picnics on the floor in front of the TV.
http://myfxadvice.com foreign exchange market

Sorry. I don’t know why that foreign exchange market thing popped on there. You can delete my comments if you’d like. I just wanted you to know that I wasn’t trying to sell anything.

I love family movie night! We let the kids take turns picking out movies to watch, pop some popcorn, dim the lights and enjoy the show! My hubby and I decided that it was easier to allow the child who picked the movie to ask as many questions as they would like so we wouldn’t have to keep saying, “Shhh.” With the permission to ask away, it’s actually much quieter! LOL
Thanks,
Dawn S

Laughing our butts off when playing competitive games! It never fails that something hilarious will happen when you’re playing a board game or wii game.

We usually do Family Movie Nights, but since our girls are getting older I suspect we’ll add in Game night as well. They love to play UNO already…. perhaps it’s time to give game night a try! Thanks for the chance.

We love playing any of the Scene It games, but we do away with the board and just play the ‘party’ version. We split up into 2 teams (Team Mickey and Team Minnie when we play any of the Disney or Pixar Scene Its). We do pizza or if I’m not too worn out, a favorite meal of the boys (tacos, ‘baby burgers’ aka sliders, or even spaghetti). We keep it simple and just have fun!

Game nights with lots of food and falling asleep in front of a movie

Our family enjoys having a simple meal, playing games, watching a movie and staying up late. We especially have fun when we “camp out” in the living room. We drag out every pillow and blanket in the house and all sleep on the floor. It’s a great time for all!

Watching a good movie, lots of popcorn or we order a pizza and settle down to watch a good movie. Sometimes it may be a game of Sorry on the weekends

Watching a good movie, lots of popcorn or we order a pizza and settle down to watch a good movie.

karenmed409 at comcast dot net

Speed Scrabble and popcorn!

Go fish is a big hit at our house!

Since my son is one-year-old, we tend to read books, chase him through his tunnel, and go to the park a lot. Once he is in bed my hubby and I like to play scrabble.

Our family enjoys having puzzle wars. We divide into teams and each team has a puzzle with the same amount of pieces the 1st to finish the puzzle wins!

We love doing a movie night and have popcorn. We also enjoy doing the family game night too.

Our little one is still too young for a game night….but we did start a family movie night last week and watched her first Disney feature film….she picked Dumbo! It was so much fun! I can imagine the creativity we’ll have as she gets older.

When the weather is good, our favorite activity is just to play in the backyard. My kids are 1 & 3 so anything structured just doesn’t work yet. My husband and I hang out on a blanket on the grass and the kids get our undivided attention.

Our favorite Fall family night involves a caramel apple buffet (tons of toppings in bowls and you make up the perfect caramel apple), a fire in the fire pit in the backyard, snuggling up inside with cocoa and a movie. Love it!

Currently with the nice fall like weather, we play a game of horse outside with basketball. . .but for family night inside we really like dvd bingo. currently we have the nick theme one that they love to play. . it’s great both for the 4 & 11 year old.

We have movie night. Pizza for supper then on with the flick. We take turns choosing the evening’s entertainment.

We don’t have a ‘designated’ game night but at least once a week my son and I cop a squat on the living room floor and play games while watching a movie together.

we love to cook together. my 3YO daughter is an ardent chef!

Our favorite is to watch DVDs or play Karaoke.

Our family nights typically involve some sort of art project- our 2 1/2 yr old is always wanting to finger paint or use water colors. His other love is water skiing- so we usually end up watching my husbands old show ski videos. we’re looking forward to getting some board games now that he’s getting to that age.

My son is only 3, but we’ve already started having family game nights. We gather round our kitchen table with a big bowl of popcorn, pretzels or other yummy treat and spend time together playing our game. Since Jackson is only 3, we usually wind up playing by his new rules rather than the ones printed on the box. And that’s just fine. It’s about spending time together, not who wins or loses or how we play. (Unless his Dad and I are playing Scrabble and then it’s very important that I win!)

On our family nights we invite the extended family…my mother and my sisters who come with their husbands and their children. My husband usually grills (everyone…well us ladies) cook the sides. We have a nice sized yard, so we have a “game area” were that children play baseball, jump rope, have water balloon fights, play frisby and kick ball. When the sun starts to set and the mosquitoes come out we head inside were we have dessert and play Karaoke (it’s free because it’s included with our cable package)I have printed the song titles and we have our “official” Karaoke list. We also give away a prize to the winner of the contest (which consist of a basket that has a small gift that each family has contributed. We do this every other month or so…Everyone has a great time!

We love to build our Geotrax train sets together, and then when it is finally built, run the train around the tracks and then put it all away for next time.

We get Daddy to pick up some pizza on his way home from work, play a game or two afterwards, then settle in for a Netflix movie and some popcorn (and other sweet treats, of course)!

We enjoy TV shows as a family rather than a movie night. Right now Heroes is the show are family is watching together. This way we have a weekly sit down without incurring the cost of a $10 movie(we do occasionally rent at the redbox movies like Wolverine but it isn’t a routine thing).

My kids vary in age so up until recently games are a challenge. I did pick up Hyperdash recently and am considering Boochie for an outdoor game. I also think the new connect 4 looks interesting as well as the game Querf, which seems somewhat reminiscent of the cranium games my kids have enjoyed. If I won that would probably be what I invest in.

We like to make pizzas on the grill and then play some boards games outside. We also use flashlights at it get darker. Our favorite game is Sorry and Trouble but we love trying new games too.

We do movies the most for Family Night, but we also play games. I love that walmart has the $10 dvd selections! We could also use a new game to add to the mix!

We like to play Cranium’s Cadoo game together on family fun night.

Our latest fun game is sorry sliders. The boys love to knock me off the board.

We live right next to a park. We love taking the kids over right after dinner. It is nice relaxation time for us and the kids run themselves tired.

Well, right now it’s just me and hubby until our adoption is finalized, but we certainly plan on having game nights!

We love to use a family fun night as a reward system for our daughters good grades and behavior. She of course has no idea that they just as important to us as they are fun for her.

We start the day before with her giving us her list of movie choices, we decided on a dinner that we can all three prepare and make together as well as enjoy. After dinner we play a board or card game and talk about what has been happening lately at school and our work. Then we pile in the living room together in our pj’s with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy a movie together. For us, it’s all about the listening. We learn so much more about our daughter and what she is thinking on those nights then any other time.

We have family movie night. We let the girls pick out a movie, all pile up in the living room with popcorn and cuddle. It is so much fun!

My family loves card games, UNO and Skip Bo are two favorites. We do friday pizza nights, and sometimes sundaes on Sundays.

We are planning a fall trip to visit Mt Vernon (among other places) and the National Treasure 2 has lots of Mt Vernon footage. I would get this movie for sure if I win!

I do games and movies as family nite when my granddaughter comes to visit! We love Uno and puzzles the most right now – She gets her own huge bowl of popcorn and doesn’t have to share (I think her Daddy helps finish hers at home!) Would love to win the gift certificate so her and I could go get some new games.

Family game night immediately brings to mind my late grandmother, who used to play UNO with our whole family. It was so much fun, and she would always pretend to not remember the rules so that she could sneak in a blue card on a green card or something. It was great fun to try to catch her at it! She frequently won, and then, even at almost 90 years old, would do a little dance and sing her “I won!” song. Those kinds of fond memories are the ones that a family game night can bring, and I hope that having a game night for our family will be just as fun. (Hopefully without all of the cheating!)

Right now our favorite family night activity is making smores over our firepit. We make homemade pizzas and have a movie night as well. DD is 2 1/2 so the movie is for her and we spread blankets on the food and all lay there together munching on popcorn. DD is just now showing interest in games so would be great to win! Thanks for the chance at a great and fun giveaway!

We love to bowl with our 2 year old with a little bowling set he got.

We love playing games together. My oldest is just 3.5, so we play games that he likes, like “go fish” and “Sorry.” He also likes to “play” chess with his dad!

We don’t have a set family night – basically every night is family night at our house! Our daughter is only 2 1/2, and I work outside the home, so evening is the time I get to spend with her. We play with playdoh and find matches in her I spy book, read books…whatever we feel like doing on a particular night! Oh! She does have a game that she loves – Can Do Roo. It’s a fun game!

i have a 8, 6, and 2 year old. our favorite is homemade pizza! then brownies! and of course a game while everything cooks!!! and then a good family healthy movie and having and slumber party in the den all together!!!

We have been playing more and more games lately. My son loves Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, Bingo, and Wii Bowling. Sometimes we watch a movie. Sometimes daddy reads a Bible story as well.

my little one is only 2 so we tend to enjoy backyardigans and building blocks…not to mention a nice dinner at the dinner table w/ no tv!

Our family nights include pizza, smores and popcorn (if we watch a movie). We love to play dominoes and get everyone involved!

Family night at my house is eating dinner together, sitting and talking for a bit and then a fun game of Bananagrams or Scrabble.

Our son is 16 months old & he loves to play. We spend every evening playing games and interacting as much as possible but on Sunday evening we have “cuddle time”. We make a pallet on the floor of the living room and we watch one of his favorite movies (Finding Nemo or Madagascar). It is something I will always cherish and hope to continue as he and our family grows!

Our family game night can range on any day or night of the week. If it happens during the week, it usually consists of the family gathered on the floor playing chutes and ladders, monopoly, trouble, or guess who (extra. My son loves to play games. If it happens on a Sunday, it’s usually the family gathered around the kitchen table, playing Uno Spin. That is really fun, my son, who was around 6 then really got the hang of playing it. It was just too cute. Thanks for the opportunity to share our family night and I really thank you for the chance to win some new games and such.

Last family night we had been reading some old books and learned how to play “Blind Man’s Bluff.” It was one of the funniest games we have ever done. It didn’t even cost a thing. Even Better!

Our family game nights vary, but we love to do video scavenger hunts. Our family can be out and do things for free around our time! When we are at home, we get lots of bright candy and make popcorn and play Apples to Apples or Scattergories.

On my favorite Family Fun night we usually order some pizza and play Disney’s Scene it or the game Clue. We watch movies and curl up on the couch. Its always a blast!

Family fun night is something my husband and I just started. My daughter just turned 3. So we really can’t play anything too difficult. But we love to get together and on friday nights and play Candyland. She just loves it!

Our family fun night is pretty simple right now. We do a TON of crafty stuff. I get out a big tote of pom poms, pipe cleaners, foam pieces, construction paper, crayons, marker, scissors, glue, etc…and go to town! After everything is picked up, we get to watch a movie. So far (since my kids are 3 months, 2 1/2, and 4) Dora has been the go-to movie. I would LOVE to add a movie to the mix!

Our favorite family night activity is to rent a great family movie, order pizza, and make popcorn.

Family night usually is on Saturdays. We start with a game of Scrabble which is perfect for three children ages 15 (almost) to 9. Everyone makes up their age appropriate word! This is followed by homemade pizzas (dough by Mom) which are topped with some our favorites like artichokes, olives, and pepperoni! Next, we view a fun filled family movie which is normally checked out at the library. Intermission is ice cream sundaes with homemade ice cream (this is Dad’s department). A wonderful, and inexpensive, evening is always enjoyed by all.

Tacos for dinner – Working together to make dinner – Playing board games together – ending with desert and a movie.

On our family nights we eat some pizza and break out the Wii. First we like to do our Wii fits to see who improves the most. Then we pick one of the sports on our Wii Sport or Wii Resort and have a play off to see who can get the highest scores.

We mostly do family movie nights. As it gets colder we sometimes pull out the air mattresses and sleeping bags for a living room sleepover. The girls love our spa nights. We put on our robes for manis and pedis. They like “styling” my hair.

movies and popcorn

Our favorite family nights are spent making pizza, then ice cream sundaes, a little bit of (sort of safe) wrestling, and then dad telling stories!!

We love to play games. Our kids are young, and some of the favorites are hungry hungry hippos, don’t break the ice, yahtzee. We also enjoy a fun treat like pudding or ice cream afterwards.

We love to watch a family movie together and have popcorn and rootbeer floats or playing a game together is also on the top of our favorite things to do. We love playing Sorry, Uno, and Pigs.

Since I’m a solo, family game nights are limited to when I’m visiting my sister and her family or my aunt and cousins. When I’m with the nephews we play 3-handed “War,” with my aunt and older cousins it’s Scrabble, and with the younger kids and the great-aunts it’s Uno.

We have Saturdays as our family days. We usually wake up, have breakfast, go to Farmer’s Market, then go to yard sales. My 3 year old loves yard sales. She has her purse with change; she gets the best deals because she’s so cute! We have lunch then nap. The rest of the afternoon is spent in Dad’s workshop building things. We end the day with dinner and a movie or a trip to the beach to watch the sunset. We love our family days are so fortunate to have the weekends with each other! <3

Friday night is a relaxed night at our house. Homemade pizza with pick you own toppings and we play a game or watch a movie. Family favorite game is Apples to apples. My youngest, who can barely read, ends up winning most of the time! He plays the funniest cards and doesn’t even know it.I love to hear everyone laugh after a long exhausting week.

My kids are young so they go to bed early and are always home so every evening is family night! But when bedtime is 7 there isn’t a whole lot of popcorn and movies going on around here!

We have movie night quite often with popcorn or ice cream. We used to have grand Game parties with our friends years ago but they’ve drifted off! As a family we love to play Cranium games that get you moving then watch a fun Movie!

Our kids are pretty little… so our fav family night is a quick Elmo movie with some popcorn — then when the kids are off to sleep it’s time for a mommy/daddy movie!

we always enjoyed monopoly… a classic!

i love playing UNO with my kids…I think they just love getting to shout out UNO.
