Committing to More Family Fun Time in the New Year

Committing to More Family Fun Time in the New Year

This is the first week of the new year. I pray that one of your goals for the year is spending more time with your children as a family. Fun time is important in developing long-lasting relationships filled with love and memories. Just because it may be cold outside does not mean that you cannot have fun.

In my blog posts in January, 2018 titled Fun Outdoor Activities for the Winter Months and Fun Indoor Activities for the Winter Months, I wrote about all the fun children can have playing games outdoors and indoors during the winter season. As an update to those blogs, I wanted to provide families with more recent online articles that provide additional games to play. Please check out the links below.

It is key that you bundle up and prepare for those cold outdoor temperatures when playing outdoors. As a special treat, also prepare for your return back home, with hot chocolate and delicious munchies available. After a playful time outside, your children will be hungry! Moreover, when the weather is just too cold or blustery to go outside, indoor activities are important. There are so many to choose from, so plan ahead to incorporate as many as possible into your schedules as you make warm memories for your children.
