Give parents a break this Christmas/winter season and host a snowflake-themed Parents’ Night Out (PNO)! The Let It Snow PNO uses snowflakes and Ephesians 2:10 to remind kids that we are each unique and beautiful “masterpieces,” and God wants us to use our uniqueness to “do the good things He planned for us” (NLT). You basically throw one big party for the kids, use youth as your volunteers, and the parents have a night out for dinner and a movie, running errands, or just relaxing at home with no kids.
Hosting a PNO is a win-win-win-win event. Kids win because they have a fun night with you and their friends. Parents win because they get a well-deserved break (or some time to get some Christmas shopping done). Students win because they earn money for their trips through babysitting. You win because you just provided a great event for nearly everyone in the church. High five!

This is a great resource! Our Kidmin rented out the YMCA and we used this material for a short small group lesson, activities and crafts during the PNO. We had so many compliments from parents and the kids definitely had a great time!

I can’t wait to use this resource at our church to put together our first PNO! It is well thought out and incredibly thorough. There are plenty of crafts, games, and activities to choose from and they seem simple enough to prep and implement. The’ve truly thought of everything and I hope DKM creates more like this in the future!

This is a great resource and format for running a Parents Night Out!! I would recommend that the author create more of these for each season! There are more than enough activities and games to keep kids active and engaged! We had a great night at our PNO with this theme and the activities provided!! If you are looking for an easy set-up for a PNO, then this is your source!

This is an amazing resource! I’m not one to be planning last minute but this week life was, well life, and I needed to put together my PNO on Wednesday for Saturday night. I am so grateful that I had this PNO lesson, because all the planning was done for me. It was super easy to pick and choose which games and crafts I wanted to use (and there is lots to choose from) and plug them into my own outline. The supply list was already made and the ideas are not only great, but don’t take a ton of prep time. This is a kidmin win! I’m off to get supplies and confident that I have all I can for a great night of fun for our kids and a much needed break for our parents. Thank you so much deeperkidmin!
