You’re almost to the stands. The stadium is loud, and you can smell fresh popcorn. There’s a split-second break in the noise, and you hear “Mom! I can’t find my mouthguard.” You turn and look. Yeah, that’s definitely your kid. The weekends can get a lot more hectic when fall rolls around. Here are some fun ways to score more family time during this season.
Kick off the conversation
You know those extra busy days when you’re driving your kids from activity to activity, asking them about their day, and they’re just giving you one-word answers? Try playing Conversation Starters on the Chick-fil-A Play™ App. It’s a sneaky way to get them talking without them knowing what you’re up to. Pro tip: Give them something to eat first, and they’ll likely be more willing to talk.
Score at mealtime
And speaking of food, kids need a lot of it. Just when you think you’ve made it through summer and all the midday snacking, they’re back to school and hungrier than ever. Here’s an easy way to get food in front of them fast. Make the Chicken Empanugget recipe, found in the Chick-fil-A Play™ App. It’s a recipe you can make together as a snack or even as part of a meal.
Cheer for a good cause
Gather the family together (and grab a box tissues) to cheer on five families who are competing to win money for an unsung hero in their town. Play It Forward is a sports game show on the Chick-fil-A Play™ App that follows a family competing for big money to give to someone special in their community. You can watch it together in the car while you’re waiting for your kids’ games to start or at-home together on an off-week.
Make the most of slower weeks
hen you have a rare week without an after-school activity, doesn’t a family night in sound nice? Order your Chick-fil-A favorites, like our Family Style Meals. Make it even easier by getting it delivered with Chick-fil-A™ Delivery and take the night off at home.
Enjoy cozy crafts
While we love the comradery of team sports, autumn is more than the games. Sometimes the simplicity of enjoying nature and time together is enough to make a memorable experience. Create these Simple Leaf Notecards, using the instructions in the Chick-fil-A Play™ App.
Host the huddle
If your house is the place for football-watching parties or post-game snacks, serve these Game-day recipes. From finger foods like Polynesian Footballs to dips every fan will devour, this list of recipes will satisfy all your guests. No time for cooking before the game? Order a Football-Shaped Tray on the Chick-fil-A App.
Fall for fun
Jam-packed days just mean you have to be a little more intentional. Find ways to watch, play, create, listen, and read together with those you love in the Chick-fil-A Play™ App, even in the busiest of seasons.
