Play together
Everyone has a turn. There is nothing to win, so a quiet child and a lively child can both feel at home.
Build the heart
Each round colours in one piece of one big heart. The family finishes it together.
Say thank you
The night ends with thank-you notes and a Thank-you Jar. A small kindness to take to bed.
