Family Game Night Needs to Happen
By: Jasmine serion
American writer, Richard Bach, once said, “The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's lives.” Today, families are missing out on important bonding time. We should have family game night once a week. It would be a great way to get to know each other better.
Family game night can build bonds between everyone. “Quality time. The importance of spending quality time together as a family cannot be overstated. It is important for bonding building relationships and improving communication” (Landau). This way everyone will be happy. Clearly family game night will make everyone get along in a happy, and healthy way.
Family game night will bring everyone happiness and joy. “Great games with great people can create even greater memories”(Grosenick). So, spending fun times with the people you love will make everyone happy. Also, the memories that you create during these small moments of time will be with you forever.
When everyone gets together you can ALWAYS get to know someone better. Current research says, “Games are great ways to meet new people or even reconnect with others in your life”(Grosenick). Here we see that whenever you play fun games with relatives or good friends, you can find out things you might not have already known about them.
Yes, family game night does take up a lot of dinner time. However, there isn’t much time to always be with the people you love. So we have to use some time and get to know each other better. and bond. For example, if you are in the car with a family member, that is a time to get to know more about one another. There are many other times when you are forced to be with your family, so why not make use of it with playing a game!
If you don’t spend time with your family, eventually you will not know them well in later years. Also, it can help everyone to strengthen relationships and to have fond memories to appreciate later. All in all, family game night needs to happen! So, stop what you’re doing and whip out those games! Have fun!
I do agree that having family game night is a great way to bond with family! Life gets so busy sometimes that we often forget how important it is to spend quality time with loved ones. Life is too short and I will definitely make more of an effort to say "yes" to Jasmine the next time she says, "it"s time for family game night!"
