Family - Unity With Community
This site has been created for the love of family. Family is about relationship, working with challenges, unique and fascinating dynamics. Family Time the Game was developed to create active involvement with all family members.
Commit To, Connect With, Keep Your Family
I believe the family unit is the core of community and oneness in this world. There is a universal desire for love, patience, and kindness which finds its beginnings in the home.
Peace and Harmony Takes Root in the Home
Playing the game allows the family to be together to enjoy activities together. Having fun together promotes a healthy, happy family lifestyle. Believe it or not! Kids...even teens...love to engage in enjoyable activities with their parents.
"Family time is a fun part of the day that we look forward to in, at times, a very stressful world."
If there is harmony in the home, there will be peace in the world...
The intention of the game is to have fun and enjoy your family which can instill a desire to be with those you love on a more frequent and personal basis.
Game Principles
There are ten principles which when applied can create a positive environment to experience the qualities of some simple age old principles. Playing games by these principles with the family provides an opportunity to practice positive interaction with all family members, which can develop patterns of behavior that can be applied to interactions with others.
THE TEN GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF PLAY
(Each principle influences and is influenced by the other)
1. Desire to Play 2. Communication 3. Commitment 4. Play What is Drawn 5. Patience 6. Building Consensus 7. Flexibility & Forgiveness 8. Co-operation 9. Expression of Gratitude 10. Love
Experience suggests that the game is most enjoyable under these conditions. I have also found that the best way to teach the game is to emulate the principles.
