Take it outside. When the weather gets warmer you can set up a projector and invite the neighbours.
– TIP 5 –
Pick a movie! This can sometimes be the hardest part. This can be a great time to introduce your kids to some classics, such as Singin’ in the Rain, The Wizard of Oz and Mary Poppins. Movie providers such as Netflix and Shomi have kid sections, which are a great way to let the kids pick a movie.

After the movie you can give reviews and discuss what you did and didn’t like about the movie and even what lessons were learned in the movie. Ultimately movie night is about bonding and having great time with your family!
