A simple 60-minute plan
First 10 minutes: Set up and explain a practice round.
Next 35 minutes: Play your chosen activity.
Next 10 minutes: Share a snack and a conversation.
Final 5 minutes: Tidy up and choose the next game-night date.
Adjust this schedule to suit your game; a longer strategy game may need a whole evening.
Conversation activity: Pass the appreciation
Take turns naming one thing you appreciated about someone at the table. Then each person answers one prompt:
- What made you smile this week?
- What would you like to learn together?
- What kind thing could we do for someone tomorrow?
