  The idea behind these activities is to spend time with your children or parents. The over-all goal is to strengthening relationships and open the lines of communication within the family.

• Parent / Child Date Night - This could be dinner out or simply asking your child what he or she would most want to do with you on your special night out. If possible, treat each child to his or her own date night with mom or dad. 

• Boy’s / Girl’s Weekend Away – This could be an inexpensive camping trip or a hotel getaway for just the boys or just the girls.

• Family Game Night – A great way to get the family laughing and having fun. Interacting as a family strengthens your bond and opens the lines of communication.

• Dinner Time – Make it a point to eat dinner together every night if possible. Start a tradition of discussing the best thing that happened that day or what you are most thankful for that day – anything to get a positive conversation going with your family.

• Ice Cream Fun – Make your own or go out for ice cream and enjoy discussing events and people in your kid’s lives. Ask about their day. What was fun or what was hard about their day.

• Girl’s Manicure or Pedicure Fun – Most girls enjoy pampering so mom and daughters get out some nail polish and have some fun or head to a salon and get pampered.

• Boys and Balls. Get out the football, baseball or basketball and use this time to engage your son and enter into his world through the love of sports (or whatever hobby he or she may have).

• Family Camp – Probably the most powerful bonding experience I have had with my kids is family camp. This is our fourth year to go to family camp and it is the most anticipated and enjoyed event of the year for my kids. The camp we go to well balanced with focused time with God and Bible lessons, family time, couple or individual time and group fellowship time. There is no shortage of fun, adventure and relaxation. I can think of no better experience for families than to spend a week growing spiritually and bonding as a family.
