I just love to share positive information! We had our first Family Game night at our school last night and it was a big success!!! Yeah Us!

We offered Popcorn, water and juice and asked everyone to bring a snack. We brought some board and other games and let the games begin. It was such a success we were asked to hold it again and received several offers to volunteer for up-coming events.

I know it doesn't always turn out good but when it does . . . it makes it all worthwhile.

Hurray for you! How many people attended? Is there anything you'd do differently next time?

It's always nice to hear success stories. Congrats.

Over 100 people attended. Only one student was 'dropped' off. We would emphasize "bring a snack to share" a bit more. We had a lot but ended up making a run to the store.

We would also bring more games and have a separate area where they could be picked-up and brought back. Also, make a big sign with the instructions on it, like "Choose a game, start to play, invite someone to play with you and have fun! Have some treats and make a new friend!"

Thanks for asking!
