Hi everybody!  I am embarking on a campaign this fall challenging parents to make time to enjoy dinner as a family, and reminding parents how important quality time and the words “I love you” can be. The campaign coincides with a national call to action on Sept. 28, 2009 in support of National Family Day: A Day to Eat Dinner With Your Children™. To celebrate Family Day, I am posting tips, conversation starters and dinner table game ideas for family members and friends to use to enjoy qualify family time together at dinner.  Dinner games are a great way to engage your family at the dinner table. The most effective games take only one to three minutes to play, are no-hassle and mess-free. Dinner games should also appeal to a variety of ages and be educational. When used effectively, they have the power to open up conversation, enhance closeness, and even encourage good eating habits!  Feel free to share some of your own ideas!
