We choose from the master list of movies that meet these criteria:

1. Rated Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes

2. Rated for ages 9 and below by Common Sense Media.

We'll watch a few trailers and then decide together.

There is such a list here:

We've used a rotation for many years now (as soon as a kid is old enough to stay up that late!), and it's been wonderful ... to give each person practice taking the lead, but also the rest of us practice in patience and seeking to enjoy things that others enjoy (more than we do!).

That's so helpful, Will! I love how you expressed that..."to give each person practice taking the lead"...it's so important to train our children to lead. Thanks for sharing!
