Bond with your family during a craft night. During this night you and your family can join together to make crafts for others. If you have a grandparent or other senior citizen in your home, he or she can be in charge of a craft night one month. This is an excellent way to instruct the younger generation in quilting, woodworking, caning a chair, basket weaving or other crafts. Each month allow a different family member to lead the craft night. For instance, during December you can create gifts-in-a-jar to give to friends and relatives. During a spring month, your family could create Easter baskets for an orphanage. In November, you can create interesting red, white and blue lapel pins for veterans in a senior citizen home. This type of activity brings your family together in a joint effort and creates a feeling of good will by serving others.

Schedule a night each week that is considered family night for all the members of your household. Instruct everyone that it is unacceptable to make other plans on this night. Many bowling alleys, movie theaters and skating rinks have Christian family nights. Call the local venues to check when they are; if they do not have one, suggest that the business create one. Nights designated for Christian familys usually include Christian or inspirational music and discounts while at the location. Other ideas are to take long walks together on the beach to watch the sunset, go to a lake and rent a paddle boat or canoe, go to the zoo or simply take a family bike ride. This shows your children that spending quality family time together is important. Outdoor activities are an excellent way to keep fit and to enjoy God's beautiful creations.
