There is always a time for some fun and a family date night is one of those times. Actually where I come from, family date is like a tradition and you can’t believe we still get home once in a while for the family date but this time, with our kids! That’s how fun and memorable a family date could be. Really, it doesn’t take a lot of money to organize a family date especially when you don’t have all the money to spend. You only need a good idea or a couple of ideas, plan out the location and put a smile on the faces of every member of the family.
If you are blank on ideas about how a family date nights should be planned and executed? Then you are reading the right article. Also, if you have an idea but want to add more, here is an article for you too. Here, we will explain as much as possible some great ideas for family date nights and also look at some of its benefits to the parents and the whole family.
Some of the family date nights ideas include:
“At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, a parent.”

- Camp fire and family history: this is actually one of the free family date night activities and yet, one of the most educative. This is simply done by making a fire (you can choose any location and it could be in your house, just in the compound) then having everyone sit round it and a story about the family history will be told (usually by the oldest member of the family present). This may not sound extremely fun to many but once the story is on, you will discover how much more you will like to hear the story.
- Cooking competition: well, everyone should cook something and we don’t really care how it tastes (but it should be edible). This is another activity a family can adopt on their date night. It is always fun to see the older ones cooking to perfection and also tasting what the younger ones have prepared. This will end with a taste of everyone’s food and the crowning of the best cook for the night.
- Movie night: this is a paid activity, but it doesn’t cost much. The whole family could go to see a movie and discuss about the actions in the movie as you come back home.
- Game night and ice cream: here, a couple of games are selected and played according to every member’s mutual agreement and when you are out of the game, you take the smallest portion of the ice cream and so on up till the winner who takes the larger portion. This activity may involve some funds too, but little and it is always memorable especially for the kids as they cannot wait for the next date night to get a better portion of the ice cream.
Here are some benefits fo family date nights:
