October 2016<\/em><\/p>\n

Say “How are you?” to any parent these days and there’s a very good chance that\u00a0their answer will include the word “busy”. Between work, school, chores, extracurricular activities\u00a0and friends,\u00a0modern family life certainly is\u00a0busy! Families may, in fact, start to feel like ships passing in the night… or in the hall outside the bathroom. But it’s important for families to spend time together – to check in, reconnect and enjoy each other’s company. How to fit it into a busy schedule? Try picking a particular night of the week (like Friday!) and planning some fun together. And because eating together is one of the best ways for families to stay connected, begin the evening with\u00a0a tasty\u00a0meal that everyone will enjoy.<\/p>\n

We’ve put together some\u00a0great ideas for themed family nights, both at home and out on the town in Calgary.<\/p>\n

Fun & Games<\/h3>\n

Board & card games are not only a lot of fun and a great way to get all generations of the family interacting, they’re\u00a0often educational too! The kids may be having too much fun to\u00a0notice, but they’ll likely be using some combination of math, literacy and reasoning skills. Pick a line-up of your favourite games\u00a0– or just one if it’ll take hours to complete – and plan on having dessert or a few snacks later\u00a0on in the evening. Thinking brains are hungry brains!<\/p>\n

Looking for new games for your repertoire? Try this list of 10 New Board Games for Family Game Night<\/a>\u00a0or 10 Kid-Friendly Card Games<\/a>. Our own family is partial to Monopoly, Qwirkle, and Catan Junior.<\/p>\n

If the kids love digital games (and good luck finding\u00a0one who doesn’t),\u00a0surprise them… not only by saying “yes” to screen time but also\u00a0by playing with them.<\/span>\u00a0Digital games can be a bonding experience too if Mom & Dad join in on the fun and the kids will get a\u00a0confidence boost they when they leave you in their [digital] dust!<\/p>\n

\"Spend<\/p>\n

Get Theatrical<\/h3>\n

A night at the theatre is a special night indeed, whether you choose live theatre or a movie on the big screen.<\/p>\n

Calgary is home to a number of live theatre companies that cater to children, including Storybook Theatre<\/a>, Loose Moose Theatre for Kids<\/a>, and Stage West for Kids<\/a>. We can also enjoy\u00a0travelling shows from groups like Broadway Across Canada<\/a>, among\u00a0others.<\/p>\n

Hollywood blockbuster more your style? Find showtimes for Cineplex<\/a>, Landmark Cinemas<\/a>, and\u00a0Canyon Meadows Cinemas<\/a> (a great budget option, they show second-run movies for just $5 per person and kids under 3 get in free if they sit on your lap).<\/p>\n

Too tired to go out or just really counting your pennies?\u00a0Plan to watch your family’s favourite movie on DVD or Netflix, at home. Include popcorn and a mocktail\u00a0to make it special (Mom & Dad can have a real cocktail since no one is driving!).<\/p>\n

\"Spend<\/p>\n

Arts-ing & Crafting<\/h3>\n

Kids know how much fun arts & crafts can be and – judging by the proliferation of adult paint nights, drop-in studios and colouring books – adults are beginning\u00a0to remember, too! Plan a fun arts & crafts night where everyone in the family gets to make their own unique creation.<\/p>\n

For crafting on a budget, plan a project (or choose a medium) to complete at home and pick up your supplies at the local dollar store or at a craft store like Michaels<\/a> (if you’re headed there, don’t forget to print a coupon or have one\u00a0texted to your phone!). Set up a nice big workspace where you can all create without bumping elbows – a disposable tablecloth is a great idea if you’re using glue or paint.<\/p>\n

For a bit more of a splurge and an evening out, find a studio that offers a project, or drop-in night on Fridays you want to go. In Calgary, check out 4Cats Arts Studio<\/a>\u00a0(6 locations), Amaze Arts<\/a>, Artopia Studios<\/a>, Colour Me Mine<\/a>, and Colour on Fire Art Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wherever you make them, we hope you’ll be so happy with your creations that you’ll be inspired to set up a mini family art gallery in your home!<\/p>\n

\"Spend<\/p>\n

Tell Me a Story<\/h3>\n

There’s no better way to promote literacy in your children than to enjoy books with<\/em> them. Plan a literary night together, whether you cosy up at home with a favourite chapter book (or stack of picture\u00a0ones) or head out together to your local library or a favourite bookstore. If you pick a bookstore with a coffee shop attached, you could treat everyone to dessert.<\/p>\n

\"Spend<\/p>\n

Let’s Get Moving<\/h3>\n

Even the most reluctant bedtimer will sleep soundly after an evening of physical activity, indoors or out. And chances are Mom and Dad could use a little extra exercise too!<\/p>\n

Check out public swim, skate or sports drop-in times at City of Calgary recreation centres & arenas<\/a>, Trico Centre for Family Wellness<\/a>, YMCA Calgary<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0Westside\u00a0Recreation Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are kids climbing the walls? Take them to climb some walls designed just for that purpose! Check schedules at Calgary Climbing Centre<\/a>, The Crux Climbing & Bouldering<\/a>,\u00a0YMCA Calgary<\/a>,\u00a0Westside\u00a0Recreation Centre<\/a>\u00a0and University of Calgary Outdoor Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get some fresh air! When the weather is fine, head outside to visit a local park or playground. Come winter, take a spin on your local outdoor rink<\/a>, go snowshoeing in a nearby\u00a0park or take in the many cold-weather\u00a0activities at Winsport<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
