"Hundreds of ideas for family fun and recreation and the teaching of Christian values. This practical, thoroughly enjoyable book provides hundreds of ideas for turning leisure time into an exciting adventure in sharing and learning for the whole family...Ranging in cost from 'freebies' to special 'nights on the town,' these include:
Collecting waterfalls and other intangibles like birds, flowers, ghost towns and museums in a place better than a jar or box---your memory!
Establishing family traditions, celebrate everything from Groundhog Day to United Nations Day to the longest day of the year.
Dragging your kids to a cultural event such as the ballet, opera or theater. You may be pleasantly surprised by their reactions! Your children will have the added benefit of discovering your values painlessly and effectively as they observe you in a play mode.
So leave the TV for another time. Don't wait for fun to come to you...get started on your own unique family happening!"
