Phone-Free Family Fort Night

I grew up in a family of seven and we had weekly family nights nearly all my life. It’s likely a big part of why I’m still so close with my siblings, even in adulthood. If you’re looking for something unique, easy, and likely to foster real connection, here’s what you’re doing this week:

Build a fort. Sheets are always going to be your best friend here. They’re usually pretty large and super lightweight, so it’s safer. Pull up chairs, stools, use pillows as weights, and create the perfect cozy atmosphere.
If you want to go the extra mile, grab a projection lamp. It’s going to make the space feel ever more special. I would recommend this one, it’s only $15.
Pop some popcorn, grab some drinks and snacks, and climb into the fort.
You can either look online or grab these family friend conversion cards. Cozy up in the fort and take turns answering the cards.
