Sharing is caring!

This post is one of the ten in Vibrant Homeschooling’s Fabulous Family Movie Nights series. Click here to see the other movies featured and be inspired to plan an interactive learning experience through movies with your family this summer!

Watching movies together as a family is one of our favorite family activities. We like to grab a bowl of popcorn, snuggle on the couch or in bed while watching movies that make us laugh, cry and encourage us to grow together.

Jumanji is one of my son’s favorite movies, and I love Robin Williams, so it is a family-friendly movie that we both can enjoy together!

The adventure, excitement and intense situations throughout this movie are anticipated each time we watch Jumanji.11270993_1008061372550983_153230421_n

There are so many topics that you can use to build your family relationships from Jumanji, so the
next time you sit down and watch it, pay attention to the details!

Below you’ll find family discussion questions, family fun activities based on the weather and natural disasters that occur throughout the movie, and fun learning resources like unit studies, lapbooks, literature and more! I hope that you and your children have a wonderful time watching Jumanji, while learning and growing together!
