Kids love going to the movies. The thrill of watching characters come to life on the big screen, while sipping on soda and reaching into a big bag of popcorn is unparalleled. Or is it? Putting together your own authentic movie night at home actually isn’t too challenging. Since many of us will be looking for more home activities to do this winter, take a look at the tips below for creating a fun movie night at home.
Play dress up. Make it a theme night! If you’re watching a superhero movie, consider getting decked out in some superhero gear. Or if you’re watching a scary movie, see what halloween costumes or decorations, you have lying around that you can reuse for the event.
Create a snack bar. Offer authentic movie night eats. Make popcorn, have a few candy options, and a couple drink options. You can even provide small boxes or store bought caddies for the kids to use.
Provide movie tickets. Create excitement and anticipation by handing out movie tickets! Plus, this will make the experience feel that much more like the real thing. Use this ticket generator to make awesome custom tickets.
Set unique seating. Sitting on the couch is comfy, but it’s not necessarily unique. To make your movie night extra special, consider getting a little creative. Have the kids build a pillow fort to watch from or even make it a drive-in movie. Make cars the kids can sit in out of large cardboard boxes.
Being stuck indoors doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. By getting a little creative, your family can have an exciting night at home at the movies. For more inspiration and tips for creating your own movie night at home check out the visual below from Apartment Guide.
