Plan the Perfect Movie Night
Each week, my kids start talking about and planning our family movie night. From the choice of movie to the snacks, here are my best tips to help you plan the perfect movie night.
-
- Theme it out: A fun way to get kids excited about family movie night is to center the activity around a theme. You could easily plan a jungle-themed movie night with snacks and activities to coincide with Disney’s The Wild.
- Take turns picking the film: Each of my kids have strong opinions about the films we watch on family movie night. To make it fair, my kids take turns picking the movie.
- Keep it cozy: Blankets and large cushions are a hallmark of our family movie nights. My kids always forego the couch for a comfy spot on the floor in front of the TV. Lately they have pulled down a portable mattress and brought down their favorite blankets and stuffed animals for our movie nights.
- Serve a special treat: My kids’ excitement about our menu is on par with their excitement over the choice of film. This is our special time together to enjoy popcorn, fancy soda, and their favorite treats over a Disney classic. I typically ask my kids to pick out one treat they would like to enjoy during family movie night which satisfies their cravings without overstimulating them with sugar.
- Start early: After a long day at school (or a weekend filled with activities), my kids are exhausted. I try to start our family movie nights with a quick-serve meal so that they can enjoy the film and the festivities before falling asleep.
