Family Traditions

Family Game Night

 

 

ALL GAMES TEACH THE

FOLLOWING LIFE SKILLS:

1. Cooperation/Teamwork - Taking turns and working with others; respecting other family members including extended family.

2. Responsibility - Playing by the rules; taking care of the materials and putting the game away so it will be ready next time.

3. Perseverence and Patience - Waiting for your turn or for that "special card" or throw of the dice; sticking it out to the end; trying again.

4. Honesty - Playing fair; being able to admit mistakes and learning from them.

5. Understanding/Accepting both winning and losing - Knowing that we can try to win, but sometimes we will lose, and being able to cope with wins or losses tactfully and graciously.

6. Making choices and accepting the consequences of the choices you make.

We hope Family Game Night will help parents remember how much they enjoyed playing games with the family when they were little, and that they will get the old games out of the closet and put this family tradition back into their lives on a weekly basis.

 

Let the games begin!!!
