Knock out home entertainment ideas

MAKE family time special by creating fun events centered around one’s home entertainment system.

With high quality picture and sound in all modern TV sets, as well as convenient web connectivity to download movies and more, one’s home is suddenly the hottest ticket in town.

Make movie night a Red Carpet experience
Don’t fight crowds and spend a fortune to take your family out for a movie night – instead, bring the fun home to your own living room.
A home entertainment system lets you experience movies the way they were meant to be experienced.
Make a movie snack and serve up lots of fresh, buttery popcorn. Trust me it will cost you close to nothing.

Sport events
Big-ticket sport events aren’t just for celebrities and VIPs anymore. Bring the excitement of the stadium home by hosting friends and family for the next big game.
Show some spirit by encouraging everyone to wear their favorite team colours, or even by making face paint available for the true die-hard fans.
Keep their energy up by serving snacks to match the event.

Share multi-media memories
Movies and sports are fun, but for an extra special night in, make your family the stars of the show with vibrant multi-media creations made from your own photos and videos.
Show each other your favourite moments and help create new memories.
This will give you an opportunity to tease each other and laugh while going down memory lane. Looking at old photos can be fun and somehow highlights the journey the family has travelled. Remind yourself of that.

Turn education into family fun
Enhance your children’s understanding of a school assignment by spending time with them watching a television show or movie that pertains to the subject matter.
Encourage family discussion and offer ‘brain foods’ like apple slices with peanut butter, whole-wheat pretzels and mixed nuts.
With the whole family involved, learning can become just another fun activity.

Take game night to the next level
Take the simple ‘game night’ concept up a notch by gathering the family for an all-out gaming tournament.
Keep snacks to the one-handed variety so as not to disrupt the game play.
Chicken fingers, cheese and pizza bites are just a few ideas for game-friendly foods.
But don’t be surprised if everyone is too caught up in the action to eat!
