Date Night With Kids

03/10/2010
By Rogers, Christopher

Entry Taken From: group publishing and children's ministry magazine

Use these ideas to spark a monthly Date Night experience for the parents in your ministry while you provide crafts and a movie night for kids...

Cook It -- Give parents a recipe and shopping list for a delicious stir-fry meal they'll cook together. Their mission: Go grocery shopping for the ingredients, then return home and cook the meal together.

Theme It -- Give parents directions to the nearest theme park and instructions to ride the scariest rides there.

Learn It -- Offer a one-night class on sculpting, drawing, or some other artistic endeavor. Have the couples work together to create a joint project.

Rock It -- Have couples go to a concert or restaurant where they can dance, sing, and hang together in a venue full of music.

Taste It -- Have couples attend a cheese tasting or cooking class.

Exercise It -- Have couples go to a local recreation center and choose an activity they'll do together -- swim laps, lift weights, run, or do some other form of exercise.
