Family Fun Night

ideas for family fun night

Our family time at home is always valuable and precious to us and being intentional with our time is priority in our home! So today I’m sharing our favorite family night ideas at home plus one of our new favorite sweet and salty snacks! The new favorite –> Blue Diamond Almonds & Fruit (specifically the classic flavor Almonds & Fruit Sea Salt & Whole Blueberry and the dynamic flavor of Almonds & Fruit Fiery Ghost Pepper & Tart Cherry) are readily available at Walmart giving us an elevated snacking solution in more ways than one! Be sure to use the participating ibotta offer –>

So if you find yourself asking…How can I have fun at home with my family? Well I’m glad you asked because I’m here to share with you our fun family activities. Keep in mind it’s not all about spending lots of money or even a ton of time…it’s about doing something fun together, laughing and creating memorable moments that will be remembered for a life time!

Many of these activities are free or super cheap and won’t hurt the pocket book at all. I promise you, with our budget skills, we don’t allow for a ton of money when it comes to entertainment…so we’ve gotten pretty creative over the past few years!

Family Time Ideas

There are numerous ideas and some you may like some you might not like and that’s ok – this list of family time ideas is only to get you started in getting creative for you and your family. Every family is unique in their stage or season of life…the season of weather you are in and even the things you enjoy most in life. Choose activities that best fit your family – if you have toddlers still make it a priority to spend time together…but your activity may simply be reading through 5 books together…where as if you have teens the idea of creating a scavenger hunt maybe more fun.

Plan your family activities with a few things in mind:

  • Age of your Kids
  • Time you have available to you
  • Weather
  • Decide if you need to go free, cheap or if you are willing to spend money
  • Consider creating a bucket list of ideas to choose from
  • If it’s in the summer time and you have access to a pool – try a new pool game for the kids and family!
