FUN MOVIE NIGHT IDEAS:
1. Make it a date
The first step to making an epic indoor movie night with kids is to set a date. This gives the kids something to look forward to and gets them excited.
You could write it down on a calendar so that the kids can count down themselves.

Bring out all the pillows and throws for the perfect movie night setup! You could all cozy up on the couch or blow up an air mattress in the family room.
