Family entertainment can be very expensive. Taking a family of four out to a movie can cost as much seventy five dollars for the tickets and popcorn. Instead of going out pick one night every weekend and make it family movie night in. These nights are great for getting the entire family together for quality time. Blu-ray dvds make watching movies in your home feel as though you are in a theater.

Getting the children involved with movie night teaches them responsibility and the importance of family time. All they need is a piece of construction paper, a few colored pencils, and they can make tickets for family members to use to enter the movie room. Have them make the tickets, give them to household members and let them collect them as they enter the room.

Make popcorn ahead of time and put in brown lunch sacks for each member. Many of the other snacks available at the movie theater can be purchased in movie size containers to go along with the popcorn. Having everyone's drinks in plastic cups that have attached straws will add even more theater ambiance.

Picking out the movies to watch is as much fun for children as the actual watching. There are a variety of different ways to have movies on hand. Joining a mail order DVD club is very simple. They will send the movies to your home and most do not have late fees. Or you could take the kids to the video store to pick out the movie of the week. Each child should have their own day for the movie of their choice.

3D movies are always a big hit because the kids get to wear glasses and laugh at the parents for wearing theirs. Often times you can find discounted movies at a local department store for a couple of dollars. Buying movies when they are discounted is a great way to build a video library at home.

Have a scheduled time each week for the movie premier. Provide the kids with small flashlights and they can usher the movie goers into the darkened room. Children love having important jobs such as usher or popcorn server. Put the video in, get comfortable and enjoy your time with the family.

Following the movie older children would enjoy putting out a family newsletter giving a full review of the blu-ray dvd they viewed and suggestions for next week. Older children can also interview family members to get their opinion of the video to be included in their newsletter.
