Make dinner time fun and enjoyable with this fun family dinner game and easy to make and great tasting dish. Be sure to check out the helpful hint at the end!
Get To Know Ya Trivia
Each of the kids test the adults with 4 questions. For example:
- What do I usually play at recess?
- Who are my two favorite school friends?
- What is my favorite class?
- What is my least favorite school meal?
Then, the adults test the kids with their own 4 questions. For example:
- Where was I born?
- Where did I go to Elementary school?
- Where were my parents born?
- What cities have I lived in?
Make up your own questions to continue to learn more about each other.
You can find this fun game as well as many more in Family Time Fun’s Family Dinner Games and Activities.
Fruit Smoothie
This is a great healthy breakfast or snack option. You can pour them into leak proof beverage bottles and take them on the go with you or pack them in the kids’ backpacks for a healthy snack (be sure to include an ice pack to keep them cool).
Ingredients
1 Cup Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt
1/2 Cup Fresh or Frozen Fruit of your Choice
1/2 Cup Ice (I used crushed, but you can use cubed also)
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until completely mixed. Pour into glasses and enjoy! Serves 1 adult or 2 children
Helpful Hints
Do you have kids that love the sugary cereals? Try setting aside one or two days each week as cereal days and allowing the kids to eat cereal on those days only. Make the other days “healthy” choice days and require them to choose something from the healthy list like yogurt, fresh fruit, whole wheat or grain toast, oatmeal, etc.
There will be groans and moans at first, but if you are persistent they will soon fall into the routine and begin looking forward to “cereal” days. To make the transition easier, start by allowing cereal 2 days a week and then after a while cut it back to 1.
