- Games -- Playing board games together teaches taking turns and cooperative strategies!
- Projects -- A family work project (making gifts, for example) can be satisfying if everyone has a task and takes pride in a job well done.
- Community Service -- Pick a worthy organization in need such as a hospital, retirement home, homeless shelter or neighborhood center and find out how you and your child can serve them.
- Mealtimes -- Eat together without interruption. Share how your day went!
- Plan a weekend or family trip -- Members of the family offer ideas of what they would like to do and a plan for the whole family comes together.
- Birthday or other celebrations -- Family traditions and rituals are important for bringing families closer.
- Experience your world -- Vary your time together and include experiences that support what your child is learning in school, i.e.: the zoo, the supermarket or the children's museum.

And then we decorated picture frames to give to someone special:
