Family night is something that we all look forward to; although it is spent doing something fun for a couple of hours, it is cherished dearly until the next week arrives. These ideas on how to spend a fun family night, will leave you relaxed, happy, and with a heart brimming over with love.

An upcoming family night mustn't be dreaded; moments spent with loved ones should be enjoyed and embraced―they will not be around forever, after all. To make things interesting, have one person of the family come up with the plans for family night, where everyone can throw in their two cents about how to make it even more lively and memorable.

Give everyone a chance to take part in the planning; it encourages loved ones to take such a thing seriously, exercising the importance of quality time.

Fun with Cooking Though familiar, gathering for kitchen fun is undeniably healthy and enjoyable.

What better place to do something worthwhile, where the whole family gets to relish the dishes prepared by each one's loving hands?

Choose a three-course meal to prepare, designating everyone with a preparation task―slicing and dicing veggies, boiling spaghetti, preheating oven, kneading dough, shredding chicken, and the like. Exchange updates about the week gone by or decide which movie to watch once dinner's ready.

Camping Under the Stars There's nothing quite like a night under the stars. Lay out a tarp on the lawn, fire up the barbecue, and grab some stargazing gear for an unforgettable evening.

It'll give you a chance to view the night sky; something we take for granted. If where you live is a brightly lit area, head to the hills or someplace dark like the beach and set a good camping spot a little after sundown. Over a round of beers and smoky marshmallows, you can talk about stuff in general over a tasty spread of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.

Gaming Marathon Make use of your PS3 or Wii console for some family fun. Compete together or go solo in engaging games for an enjoyable time.

Bowling, baseball, hockey, basketball, race-car driving, wrestling, and the like, qualify as some of the best kind of family night games to indulge in. While board games aren't so bad an option, video games bring to the table a kind of energy and excitement that slightly falters in the board game department.

Outdoor Movie Night Does your city offer open-air movie screenings? Enjoy a classic or recent release while lounging on the grass in these outdoor spaces.

Take the family out to experience movie-watching on a whole different level, compared to conventional theaters. It'll be an outing worth remembering; one that doesn't involve stained seats, misbehaving children, and popcorn-strewn floors.
