I'm a grandma now but one of the things that my kids liked to do and have now carried it on...
I love to read and I wanted my kids to love reading. We would act out their favorite stories. Sometimes it would be the current library book and sometimes it would be the story we were reading together as a family -- The Jungle Book, The Secret Garden, etc. I wasn't a member of the church then or we would have been acting out the Book of Mormon stories as well. They loved doing it. I have to admit that it became "boring" when they reached puberty, LOL! But, when they were bored and it was 'no TV' time, they usually chose to read or go outside. I could live with those choices
And sometimes we did choose a movie, it just depended on the day. But I still feel strongly that children (and us) watch way too much TV.
So that's my two cents
