AAPI FAMILY GAME NIGHT (All ages welcome!)

AAPI Family Game Night! The Bittermelon welcomes the opportunity for Asian American parents to take a break from work and enjoy playing traditional Asian games with their children of any age! Spend meaningful time together as a family and/or hang out and meet other AAPI families. Come to one or all game nights! Light refreshments will be provided. THREE REASON TO COME PLAY WITH YOUR FAMILY Playing board games will make you happier! Reduce time on screened devices and increase mental wellness for everyone . We get to learn traditional Asian games and reconnect with our heritage! Don’t worry if you don’t know how to play. Instruction will be provided for the following games: Mahjong , Weiqi/Go/baduk , and Mancala The truth is Asian American families struggle with bonding. Immigrant parents from Asian countries often have different ways of expressing love , which can cause misunderstandings at home. AAPI Family Game Night is a special space for families to bond and work through (fun) problems together, which can later give space to work through other challenges too. Feel free to reach out to Al Lee at team@thebittermelon.org if you have questions or other games you would like included for game night. Registration is not required but helpful for headcount.
