Studies have shown that families who spend time together doing activities form strong and emotional bonds. But in today’s society families average 30-60 minutes of quality time together. With the increase of screen time and busy lifestyles, parent/child interaction is becoming less common.

      To ensure that families can spend quantity and quality time together, the Bell County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, the SNAP-ED Assistant and the Bell County High School Family and Consumer Sciences teacher along with the FCCCLA students, hosted a Family Fun Night drive through event to celebrate Family and Consumers Day “Dining In” program. 50 families participated and received information and tips on family vitality. We supplied each family with a bag filled with books, games and a scavenger hunt. We also, provided recipes for them to make and have dinner together. All these activities will help to make memories and get families interacting once again.

     90% of the families indicated that they would do the activities and games given to them. 80% expressed that they would prepare the recipes at home with their children.
