Every family could benefit from some family fun time. Am I right? We all get caught up in the day to day craziness, work, school, after-school activities. Just the everyday madness trying to raise these tiny humans! We can forget the fun side of ourselves when we are checking off all of our to-do’s.
Because of this, our family is going to do this awesome family fun challenge and we would love for you to join us. It’s full of fun activities that will make some awesome memories. It does not have to be done all in 1 month or on consecutive days, just do it on your own time. Print it out HERE and stick it on your fridge and have FUN! Who’s in for the challenge with me?
Here’s how it works: Pick an activity, any activity, and just have FUN! That’s it. If you post about it on social media, use the hashtags #foodfamilyandchaos and #familyfunchallenge so we can all follow along with all of the fun. Dive in!
1. Build a Fort
Pull out all the blankets and pillows and build a fort in the living room. I don’t mean let your kids build a fort, I mean you build it too. Climb inside and actively participate. Your kids will love it!
2. Play Hairdresser
Play hairdresser even though it feels like they are ripping your hair out strand by strand. HaHa

3. Dance Party
Have a dance party in the living room. If you really want to make it extra special then choreograph a dance that you can all do together. The sillier the better.
4. Family Game Night
We love playing board games over here even though playing monopoly with your kids is as painful as going to the dentist! Let the kids pick and play whatever they want with no complaints from mom or dad.

5. Go Bowling
If your bowling alley has cosmic bowling then that’s even more fun.
6. Backwards Day (dessert for breakfast, breakfast for dinner)
We have done this once before and my kids thought having ice cream for breakfast was the best thing since the invention of sliced bread!

7. Family Movie Night
Pop that popcorn and settle in for a family movie night. Some of our favorites are Moana, Journey to the Mysterious Island, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
8. Make Snow Paint
You can pick up some cheap spray bottles at the store and fill them with water and food coloring. Send the kids outside to make a masterpiece.

9. Kids Cook Dinner
Believe it or not your kids can cook dinner or at least help. I know it ends up taking extra time when there are little ones in the kitchen, but they love it so just be in the moment and forget about the messes.
10. Indoor Picnic
Throw a blanket and a bunch of pillows on the floor and have a picnic indoors. If it’s cold outside and you have a fireplace you can even make some s’mores!
