FAMILY ACTIVITIES

Ideas for Family Activities – Mr. Roy Harrison

Five hundred school children were asked the question:  “What makes a happy family?” The most frequent answer was “Doing things together”.  Someone has said: “Playing together breaks down the walls that keep people apart.”

Fill the match box:  Take a match box each or one of for the whole family.  The idea is to fill the match-box e.g. with objects that are mentioned in the Bible, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet.

On a car trip: Each member of the family chooses a different colour of car and each time someone spots a car of that colour, he gains a point.  The first one to have 25 points wins.
What about your day? Let each family member, in turn, say another’s name and a time during the day, for example, “Jane-10h30 a.m.”  The person must then respond by telling in detail what he or she was doing at that hour.  Give everyone an opportunity to take part.
Careers:  One member of the family acts out a profession.  The others try to guess what it is.
Good memory:  One member of the family prepares a tray with 20 different objects on it.  He shows it to the others for 20 – 30 seconds.  Afterwards each one tries to write from memory the names of the 20 objects.
Participating in children’s activities:  Instead of organizing things for the children to do together with you, why not take opportunities to join them in what they’re doing – colouring pictures, playing with cars or dolls, making a stamp album, building lego, etc.
