Calendar

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 was started by Week of the Family founder, and former Mayor, Don Eaton in 1999. The event 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
