Summer may be all about fun, but learning something new isn’t far behind. Every Friday, through the end of August, Parents’ Choice will be exploring this theme of what fun can be achieved for less than a tank of gas. Hope you enjoy the ride with us.
Plan a Family Movie Night
Family movie nights offer a great opportunity to learn and laugh together. Try planning a summer movie series. To create a series, pick a theme the whole family will enjoy such as fantasy/magic, mysteries, travel adventures or even Hitchcock. Let each family member take turns picking a movie that fits the series.
Family Travel Adventures
Here are a dozen films available for home viewing that will send your kids’ imaginations to the far corners of the earth-and even back in time.
Summer Film School: Hitchcock 101
To study an artist’s body of work sharpens critical thinking, and Hitchcock is a great opportunity for that. Your children, after a few films, will spot themes and even signature techniques; they’ll compare and contrast plotlines.
Next Friday, stay tuned for “Plan a Family Game Night.”
