Would your family feel closer if members complimented each other more often? Look inside to find out how to have a Family Compliment Night and build character too.
Sit in a circle. Place a bowl of popcorn in the middle. For your first Family Compliment Night have a parent show how to compliment by being the first compliment giver.
4 Easy Rules:
- All compliments must be completely positive.
- Only one person compliments per night.
- The family member who received the compliment says, "Thank you." and takes a handful of popcorn.
- The one who gives the compliment grabs a handful of popcorn and continues going around the circle giving compliments and grabbing more popcorn along the way.
Discuss the results with your family by asking:
- How did you like receiving a compliment? Why?
- How could holding a Family Compliment Night help our family?
- When shall we schedule the next Family Compliment Night?
- Who wants to be the next member to give compliments?
End by making another batch of popcorn and playing a fun family game.
