Family Fun & Activities

My nieces and nephew are staying over in a few weeks and I'm trying to think of ways to keep everyone busy and having fun when they're here. Between my children and them, we'll have 5 kids between the ages of 3 - 11.

I was hoping to find a movie or two to have on hand for the evenings, but I'm struggling to come up with films that will appeal to everyone. I'm thinking maybe a movie like Shrek, but they've all seen that. Anyone have other good recommendations?

I think Pixar movies are always a safe bet for a crowd of all ages. As and adult, I love them too! The Toys Story series, Wall-E, A Bug's Life and Finding Nemo are all awesome.

Sounds like so much fun!!!  How about Rio?  The older ones are probably just on the edge of being too cool to watch a movie appropriate for the younger ones and wanting to still be kids enough to be okay with whatever you put on.  Rio is a good movie that we watched a few months ago with our cousins (kids 2, 5, 7, 11) and everyone loved it.  I made homemade popcorn which they all thought was really cool!  You could even provide shaker flavors which the older kids will like and that may make any movie seem cool!

Up! That's a great movie.
