Making memories, sharing laughs, and enjoying every moment together.
Every second week of November, libraries around the world celebrate International Games Week, inviting their communities to come to the library for games, fun, and community building. It’s a terrific way to meet new people in your community and connect with your local library. And if your local library doesn’t host an International Games Week event yet, you could be just the person to volunteer to organize one!
If International Games Week reminded you that you like playing games and wish you had more fun in your daily life, it may be time for you to set up your own Family/Friends Game Night to strengthen your connections and have some fun.
Who do you want to play with? Family? Friend group? Coworkers? Neighbors? Are you looking for age-appropriate fun for the whole family, or grown-ups only? Do you want to bond with your immediate family, or do you want a more social event? What about a recurring family game night where sometimes you invite one of the kids’ friend’s families to join in? How about a couples’ night where everyone gets a little time for connection outside of the usual date-night ideas? Talk to some people and see who might be interested!
Where do you want to play? Your family might want to set up at the kitchen table or in the living room, while friends may want to take turns hosting or meet up at a local coffee shop or pub. You’ll want to make sure the space has everything you need to play comfortably – comfortable seating, a sizeable tabletop, lighting, open space, or equipment.
What do you want to play? There is an endless array of games to choose from. There’s a variety of board games, cards, and tabletop games to suit any age and interest. Some people have rec rooms outfitted with pool tables, ping pong, darts, air hockey, and more, or your town may have arcades, bowling alleys, and game rooms open to the public. Set up a multiplayer video game on a big screen or projector for group play. You can even set up your own games like balloon tennis, indoor minigolf, scavenger hunts, or get creative and design your very own board game!
When will you play? The biggest challenge may be finding time to play. Life can get busy. Scheduling conflicts can be difficult to manage. It’s easy to let fun little things like game night fall by the wayside but dedicating this time to building your relationships and having a little fun is one of the most important things you can do in your life.

As Halloween approaches, families are gearing up for costumes, candy, and spooky decorations! Trick-or-treating is one of the holiday’s most beloved traditions, and while it’s all about having fun, a few precautions can make the experience even better. Here are some tips to ensure everyone has a safe and spook-tacular night!
1. Plan Your Route in Advance
Stick to Familiar Areas: If you’re new to the neighborhood or visiting another, map out a path that sticks to well-lit streets and safe sidewalks.
Use Local Trick-or-Treating Maps: Many communities provide maps for safe routes or participating homes—check online or local social media groups for updates.
2. Make Costumes Safe and Visible
Add Reflective Tape: Attach reflective strips to costumes and bags to make trick-or-treaters more visible to drivers.
Choose Flame-Resistant Fabrics: With all those jack-o’-lanterns around, flame-resistant costumes keep little ones safer.
Ensure Comfortable Fit: Avoid overly long costumes or high heels to prevent tripping—no one wants an accidental tumble!
3. Light the Way
Equip Kids with Flashlights or Glow Sticks: It helps others see them, and they can better navigate stairs, curbs, and uneven walkways.
Stick to Well-Lit Areas: Choose neighborhoods or streets with good lighting, and avoid unlit paths or areas.
4. Safe Treat Handling
Check Candy at Home: Make sure to inspect all treats before allowing kids to dig in. Avoid homemade treats or unwrapped items unless they’re from trusted friends or family.
Allergy Awareness: Bring along some safe, non-candy treats for any little ones with food allergies.
5. Set Ground Rules for Older Kids
Establish a Curfew: Let older kids trick-or-treat on their own if they wish, but set a curfew to ensure they’re back on time.
Encourage Group Travel: Make sure they’re in a group, and have them share their route with you.
6. Remind Everyone to Mind Their Manners
Respect Decorations and Property: Teach little ones to admire decorations from a distance and not to trample gardens or lawns.
Only Visit Homes with the Lights On: This simple rule ensures trick-or-treaters aren’t disturbing those not participating.
7. Be Safe Around Pets
Teach Kids Not to Pet Animals They Don’t Know: Even friendly pets can get overwhelmed by costumes and crowds, so remind kids to keep their distance unless they know the animal.
Watch Your Own Pets: If you have a pet at home, consider keeping them away from the front door to avoid scares or escapes!
In Lake of the Woods, there are no streetlights, so our community holds Trick or Treating at the Clubhouse Point, where neighbors all gather together to give treats to the kids. This way, the kids still get their goodies safely and easily, and the residents can see the adorable kids in costumes.
Happy Halloween! 🎃 Wishing everyone a safe and candy-filled night!
