• have a movie night, choose a movie together and add some popcorn
• play a game of chess, dominoes, jacks or card games
• try a board game – they can be great fun!
• how about a dance mat or playing a game on the Wii
• ping pong, air hockey, tennis, darts, pool or snooker
• have a pamper night with facemasks, foot soaks and hand massages
• if you have a ‘gamer’ in the house – play together. Teens find it hilarious to see how bad their parents are at gaming!
• go outside – play some football, frisbee, dodgeball, piggy in the middle or stuck in the mud or go for a walk at night (within 2km of your home). You’ll be amazed at what fun can be had!
• share some of your old traditional games – kerbsie, two ball, kick-the-can, skipping
• have a picnic, cook a meal together, or plan a BBQ. Sleep outside!
