Updated: Nov 1

This is a bit of a longer activity so I would expect about an hour or two.

Activities for Family: Rock, Paper, DINNER!

Food is the perfect way to get the whole family together and enjoy each other's company. So we turned it into a fun family night activity.


How it works:

The concept is simple but incredibly fun. Instead of the usual routine where one person takes charge of the meal, we let the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors determine who gets to pick different parts of our dinner. Here’s how it goes:


  1. Gather the Family: Start by bringing everyone together and head over to the grocery store.


  2. Designate Meal Components: Before starting, decide on the meal components that need to be chosen. For us, it’s typically:




    • Main Course

    • Sides

    • Dessert

    • Drinks


  3. The Game Begins: Each family member takes turns playing Rock-Paper-Scissors. The winner of each round gets to choose one component of the meal. For example, if you win the first round, you might get to pick the main course. The next winner chooses the sides, and so on.


  4. Winners: Once the winners are determined, they get to go and pick out the things that they want for their part of the meal.


  5. Enjoy the Meal: As soon as you have everything you need for the meal, head home and prepare and enjoy!


Why we like it:

We loved doing this with the family because it mixes up the normal routine and makes dinner a bit more fun :).


Tips for Success:

If you want to go the cheaper route, then you can play the game at home with whatever items you have in the home.


This is a fun way to mix things up and enjoy a fun meal with your family. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!
