With back-to-school in full swing, mom and dad and the kids are going to have more demands on their time which makes it more important than ever to set aside time to do things together. That is one of the cool things about Hasbro Family Game Nights. Check out the Hasbro Family Game Night website where you can find really cool ways to make that together time even better. There is a printable page where you can print out polls to see what the family wants to play, tournament printables, winner certificates and lots more. On the same page you can also find great recipes and game recommendations. It really adds some extra fun to game night. Now mind you, you don't have to play just Hasbro games, but really look into having an evening a week where you can spend time together as a family doing something fun together.

Another cool thing to do with the kids is of course crafts. I found a really cool rainbow rice craft at The Life And Adventures Of The Forester Clan blog. They made a huge box of rainbow rice, but I was thinking this might also be cool as a different type of sand art for fun and then maybe gifts. There are great instructions at the site, and as a homeschooling family, you can tell it is kid approved.

Cooking together as a family is another great way to share time together and fun. Family Fun has loads of easy recipes for homemade pizza that you can make with the kids. Look over all the great recipes with your kids. Write a shopping list and take them shopping for the night. All of these things will teach your kids valuable skills and create memories that will last beyond school years.

Start a family night this week in a fabulously frugal way. This Friday if you are in the Quad City area, get the kids together and head on over to the Chino Valley ball field for a showing of the movie "Soul Surfer." Chino Valley World of Life Assembly will be showing the film and providing hot dogs, hamburgers and popcorn all for free. You just need to bring your family, and probably something comfy to sit on. If you know some overworked parents in your neighborhood, you might want to invite their kids along. We went last year and had an absolute ball. Learn more at our online calendar. Hope to see you there.
