LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Innovative Family Movie Night Ideas
THEMED MOVIE NIGHT Select a theme for your movie night. It could be based on a film genre, a specific actor, or a series. For example, a “Harry Potter” theme could include all the movies from the series along with themed snacks and decorations. CLASSIC FILM NIGHT Introduce your children (or spouse) to classic childhood hits or rediscover them together as a family. From “The Wizard of Oz” to “E.T.,” these movies offer timeless entertainment for everyone.
MOVIE BINGO Create bingo cards with scenes, quotes, or characters from the film you’re about to watch. As you watch the movie, mark off the items on your bingo card as you see them. The first person to get bingo wins a prize. MOVIE TRIVIA NIGHT After watching the movie, have a trivia game based on the movie you just watched. Whoever answers the most questions correctly gets to choose the next movie! With these creative ideas, your family movie nights will become even more special. Whether you’re enjoying the great outdoors, dressing up as your favorite characters, or challenging each other to movie trivia, these memorable experiences will bring your family closer together while creating lasting memories.
Family movie nights are a cherished tradition in many households, offering a chance to bond over cinematic adventures and entertainment. While the classic movie night with popcorn and your go-to films is always enjoyable, why not shake things up with creative and unique ideas to make these evenings even more memorable? Here are some imaginative ways to enhance your family movie night experience.
OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT Take your movie night under the stars by setting up an outdoor screening. All you need is a projector, a white sheet or screen, and comfy outdoor seating. Enjoy the fresh air, watch the stars above, and immerse yourself in the magic of outdoor cinema.
COSTUME MOVIE NIGHT Encourage your family to dress up as characters from the movie on deck for the night. It adds a layer of fun and immersion to your film- watching experience.
GET TO KNOW VIHAAN, ONE OF OUR INCREDIBLY TALENTED STUDENTS! GUITAR, VOICE, AND LAUGHTER
At Minnesota School of Music, our students play many different instruments, from piano to violin and even guitar! But, if you’re like Vihaan, you can play all three!
started learning guitar with us back in February 2023. Since then, he’s put in an incredible amount of work to add guitar to his repertoire, so much so that in the amount of time he’s been with us, he’s learned to play “Never Enough” from the film “The Greatest Showman.” One of Vihaan’s favorite things is to play the guitar and sing for other people, and to him, there’s no better feeling than when his music can impact someone else. Whether it puts a smile on their face, makes them shed a tear, or just leaves them with a new perspective, the best part of performing is that it allows him to move people. This passion is easy to see in Vihaan, too, as he always shows up to his lessons with a smile on his face and an eagerness to learn. In fact, Vihaan is a student who, left to his own devices, would simply choose to continue to practice and play
his guitar or work on his voice without any guidance. He is a musical person through and through! But, in the moments when he’s not attending lessons, strumming away on his guitar, or singing a tune, Vihann loves to tell “Knock Knock” jokes! We asked him if he had a “Knock Knock” joke that we could use in the newsletter; we hope it makes you laugh as hard as we did!
Vihaan is one of our incredible students here at Minnesota School of Music who
“Knock-Knock? Who’s there? Dwayne Dwayne who? Dwayne the bathtub, it’s going to overflow!”
Vihaan, we love your “Knock Knock” jokes almost as much as we love having you as a student here at Minnesota School of Music. We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish!
