This Friday is…
FAMILY DINNER DAY ! (27 May 2011)
Some TIPS to spice things up for your Family Dinner Day.
1) Send a text message to your family member reminding them that you’ll see them at dinner.
2) Involve family members in preparing the meal, as it can provide great opportunities for conversation. Whether it's kneading dough, tossing a salad, or setting the table, etc.
3) Encourage everyone around the table to switch off all handphones during the mealtime to maximise conversations among family members.
4) At the dinner table, ask what each person considered the most important part of their day.
5) Start a conversation topic that would interest your family member. Why not try talking about travel? What would be your ideal family vacation?
6) Try using this brainteaser tonight at dinner: What do you throw out when you want to use it, but take in when you don't want to use it? Can you guess the answer before we post it up later today? (anchor)

7) Involve the family in making treats after dinner tonight. Cakes, cookies, and Rice Krispies Treats,etc.. yummy!
8) Have a Family Movie Night after dinner! Grab the popcorn, curl up on the couch and introduce your kids to some of your favorite movies from childhood.
9)Why not pull out a board game to play with your family after dinner tonight?
Have a great time bonding with your family members, this Friday!!
