Family Time 03-2026

“Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected.”

- Boyd K. Packer

March is bursting at the seams with plenty to do, eat, explore, discover, celebrate, enjoy and make great family time out of. Did you know that March is the host to over 100 observances? We hand-picked over 65 to help encourage and inspire your family time this month, including Irish-American Heritage Month, Women’s History Month, Social Workers Month, Absolutely Incredible Kid Day, Forgive Mom and Dad Day, Expanding Girls’ Horizons in Science and Engineering Month, Ethics Awareness Month, National Optimism Month, Spiritual Wellness Month, National Nutrition Month, Common Courtesy Day, World Compliment Day, Zero Discrimination Day, Plant a Flower Day, Let’s Laugh Day and Take a Walk in the Park Day.

Want to know how to turn these observances into great March Family Time? Have a discussion, do some research, discover something new. Make a game of it, make a meal of it, create an activity around it, get the whole family involved, and don’t forget to make it fun.
