Family Activity Day

All over town!

Since its inception in 1999, the Week of the Family Committee has designated the Monday of the week as a time reserved for families to stay at home and do something specifically with their family. It is hoped that reserving a set time each week for family time will become habit-forming.

Family Activity Day is for everyone. You are encouraged to “adopt” friends and neighbors who would enjoy an evening of family activities.

Ideas for things to do as a family:

• Play board or card games
• Get out the family photo album
• Make up a play or story
• Make dinner—everyone contributes a dish
• Make a family calendar
• Read a book aloud (book lists are available at the library)
• Write letters to grandparents or other family members
• Draw or paint a picture
• Learn how to use a compass
• Pull out your old records, tapes, CDs, then listen to and discuss music
• Tell stories from your family history
• Go to the library
• Bake bread
• Start a family journal
• Sing
