Looking for family entertainment that doesn’t involve leaving the house? Check out these home streaming services!
Finding Activities to Do Together
It can be challenging when raising a family to find things that everyone enjoys together. Especially when the weather isn’t great, you want to stay at home, or it’s simply too hot outside, and you want to stay cooler in the air conditioning indoors.
Consider the home entertainment options below to stave off boredom during the kids’ summer break from school or any other time of year. With a range of smart devices and services on the market, there’s lots to pick from to entertain the entire family.
Family Film Nights
Film streaming services such as Netflix boast thousands of hours of quality entertainment that can educate and inspire the whole family. Many streaming platforms have film and TV shows for children and families.
For a small monthly fee, you and your family can enjoy a wide range of educational films and series that will keep everyone entertained all year round. All that is required is a smart television to stream movies and shows and a fast internet connection, which can be achieved by streaming TV through fiber internet. Fiber internet connections are ideal for streaming video, especially when enjoying movies in 4K resolutions, as this creates significant bandwidth demands.
Using fiber will ensure no buffering when streaming video in high definition and 4K. That’s because the download speeds will be sufficient to cope with the demands placed on them.
Fill Your Home With Music
Many families enjoy listening to music as part of their everyday routines. Teenagers might be discovering new bands and starting to appreciate music while developing their unique tastes fully. Parents may enjoy listening to music to help them relax or to focus when working from home.
You can improve the listening options for music in your home by investing in some smart speakers which can be placed in central rooms in the house. These devices connect to the internet, and if you subscribe to a music streaming service you can enjoy millions of tracks from artists across all genres and countries.
Children will love to be able to play their favorite songs simply by voice command. And many smart speakers have additional apps that play exciting and educational music quizzes.
Gaming consoles
As a brief final point, adding a gaming console to your home can dramatically increase the entertainment options available for your family. Today, gaming is enjoyed by billions of people around the world, and there are titles to appeal to every taste.
Children can enjoy electronic games suitable for their age range, many of which are educational as well as improving hand-eye coordination. Adults may enjoy being immersed in the latest open-world role-playing games or enjoying competitive online matches of their favorite sports.

Wooohooo! Happy weekend.
These are some of the up sides to all the electronics and services. Love family movie night, it was always a ritual in my house when our kids were growing up; of course, the first part of the ritual was going to the video store to pick out our movies! Each kids got to choose one, and we picked two as a family together. This involved a lot of negotiation!
Family movie night was big for us growing up too! I think I watched Neverending Story and Willow over 10 times each 😊 Love your memories!
It was a great family movie!
