The Gift Called Family

Having someone to love is what we call family. Living with those we love is what we call home. Working hard with those we love and seeing good for what we accomplish together is both a gift and a blessing.

If you feel blessed in this way you have found the secret of happiness. Now all that is needed is to preserve and protect it. The key to doing that is housed in family principles and age-old family traditions. 

Fun Family Activities

Walk places together.
Stretch out on the lawn, patio or rooftop and watch the stars.
Fish or bird watch together.
Build a doll house.
Build a tree house.
Make a tent on the bed.
Tell stories about your ancestral heritage.
Cook and bake by recipe together.
Have a family talent show.
Schedule family game night.

Plan to do something with family members each and every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. It will make all the difference in the world.

How To Stir Up The Excitement

If you're like me, you want some spice in your event program. A little cultural cuisine, good music and activities that leave everyone elated and rejuvenated. But so often the event is just a bunch of folks sitting around eating and talking.

Frankly, the key to having an upbeat interactive event that binds family ties is in the planning. The kind of planning that gets everyone excited and wanting to be involved. When folks arrive anticipating contributing to something special it usually ends up being something special if not spectacular.

How can you get more family members excited about the next family reunion event? Simple. INCLUSION. Get them involved in entertainment and activity planning. Need to reel them in even more? Throw a talent show or have TV game show activities. 

Talent Show
Featured talent show acts can include singing, dance, comedy, puppets, acting, short storytelling, juggling, and more. For TV game show activity ideas that stir up excitement check out the ebook feature of the Fimark's Family Reunion Planner and review the activities.
