This impulse to re-watch, re-play, or re-read our favorites inspired us to write about what we really love: great stuff to share with our kids.
Read-Aloud Books
Reading to your kids is one of the best things you can do for them (and, not incidentally, yourself!).
Books to Talk About
Once kids are reading on their own, it's fun and enlightening to discuss their impressions of the story.
Family Video Games
Even if you're not a gamer, give these family-oriented games a shot (learning a new skill together helps families bond).
Family DVDs We Love
From "Snow White" to "Harry Potter," some stories are simply timeless -- and provide a jumping-off point for conversation.
More Stuff We Love to Share
The Red Balloon
This imaginative story is told entirely through visual imagery.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
These books grow with your kids -- you'll read the first few to them, and they'll take it from there.
Lassie Come Home
This boy-and-his-dog classic is full of positive messages and helpful lessons.
Carcassonne
The French countryside comes to life in a challenging tile-laying app that will have your family huddled around the iPad.

kaden said...you dont have to do everything every second together, but reading and playing and watching tv or movies together is a great way to spend time and have fun things to talk about. a lot of the pixar movies these days are created with little phrases and things to keep adults entertained watching anyway and you can usually get in a couple good laughs. as for games, we enjoy playing together on HTTp://bIT.lY/GamesForFree the entire site is fmaily friendly so the kids are safe on there and nothing ever requires a membership. we have a fun time playing and they add new games frequently so we never run out of stuff to do.
