Sing. Dance. Laugh. Repeat!

Does your family have a designated “family fun night”? Friday is our happy, relax, “no homework and we get to sleep in the next morning,” get your happy on night. The only thing we need for a successful family night is for our family (with the occasional cameos of our favorite friends) to be together. We’re simple and it doesn’t take a lot to make us happy on Friday nights. Usually, footie pajamas, good food, a movie and some music are just what the occasion calls for. We are big fans of the spontaneous dance party. We have no shame in our family night game. Sing. Dance. Laugh. Repeat!

We usually like to keep the movie light and happy, something we can all enjoy without anyone ending up in mommy’s bed. We’ve been waiting for DreamWorks’ Trolls to come out on DVD and Blu-ray since we saw it in the theater. Trolls have had a special place in my heart since I was a child and the movie did not disappoint. It has a catchy soundtrack that’s so much fun to sing-a-long with. I should know because we’ve been singing along with it in the car for weeks. The characters in the film are vibrant and fun enough to keep even the most discerning little ones entertained and the themes are perfect for a family fun night; no Trolls left behind and family is everything. After all, being with the people we love really is where our happy place originates.

But the real key to a good “family fun night” – besides the movie of course – are the snacks. We don’t want anything too serious or labor-intensive, after all, it is Friday! At our house, once we’re all in our favorite jumper jammies, we like to put some music on and dance around while we wait for our pizza to arrive because everybody loves pizza. You know us, we’re cooler than a pack of peppermints.

Next, while we’re still dancing and usually by this time laughing our heads off at one another because some of us have moves and some of us…not so much, I like to throw together some snacks. Our favorites are a simple fruit tray and a veggie tray because not only are they good for you, they are easy to make and fun to dip. Also, since we are about to see a movie we need snacks like iced animal crackers, Cheez-its and popcorn. You would be astonished at how easy it is to assemble this small feast and how happy it makes all of us.

Once we’ve all got our bellies sufficiently filled, then we settle in with fuzzy blankets on the sectional and start the feature film. Depending on how long it takes the girls to get the table cleared off, there may or not be time for yet another family fun night spontaneous party. I must say this is infinitely more fun when your children’s friends are also spending the night. There is something special about 8-11-year-old girls on sugar that kicks family fun night up about 20 notches. Sing. Dance. Laugh. Repeat!

If you are looking for “family fun night” games, I suggest these, sure-to-make-everyone-in-the-house-happy activities. I promise everyone will be smiling, except for maybe the kid who gets a dog food jelly bean or the one who draws the ingredients blue popsicle and salami for her smoothie challenge, but even then our kids were smiling. 1) Bean boozled 2) the Smoothie Challenge 3) Pie in the face. And if you are looking for the perfect “family fun night” movie to watch, look no further.

It sounds like you indeed have a great family night activities, food, and movie. I love the idea of playing games before you watch the movie. Trolls is a movie I would love to see with my niece’s kids. Thanks for sharing the fun family Troll Party.

It was a lot of fun. The girls are not tiny toddlers any more so they can do more things and watch a variety of movies but they love watching animated films and we love watching them with them. Gotta keep them little as long as we can 😉

Need help!! I bought the party edition for my kids but can not find the Party mode. How do I access the Party Mode?

Reply
Samantha 2017/06/06 - 11:05 am

SAME HERE!!! I have gone through every feature I can on the Blu-Ray Disc (which is where the insert claims the Party Mode Features are) and I cannot find this one! I have Google searched high and low and can’t find any instructions on how to get the DVD into Party Mode. Help! I would have really loved to access this feature on the 21 hour drove to our new home. Would’ve been nice!

Samantha 2017/06/06 - 11:09 am

Okay, I got it – but I don’t know how. I have gone to the Top Menu and pressed Play a dozen times (my kids have this movie memorized by now) but all of a sudden, because I finally asked for help, when I clicked Play it FINALLY gave me a choice to start the movie in Party Mode, Sing A Long mode, or Regular Mode. I assure you I’ve pressed this Play button dozens of times previously with no luck. I’ve no idea why it worked this or how to do it again…
