If you are lucky enough to have siblings in your home who get along—life seems to be more joyous. However, even the closest siblings will disagree on what to watch on family night. In our home, my kiddos are 10 years apart, so as you can imagine they don’t have much in common or like the same shows. Bickering and fighting between the two is unfortunately the norm!
Netflix wants siblings everywhere (of all ages) to get along famously, no matter their differences in show tastes. In honor of National Siblings Day (April 10th), Netflix created Siblings Playlists . During this month, kids can choose from playlists such as the “Tale of Two Distant Ages” to “Sugar and Spice” and more, “offering something for every sibling squad to watch and enjoy together.”
Here are some ideas from Netflix to get you started on what to watch on family night!
A Tale of Two Distant Ages
Fret no longer, this playlist caters to both your 5-year-old AND your 14-year-old. Click here for the full collection.

Must Watch TV
Whether long distance or right next door, these days, adult siblings are also bonding over what they’re watching. Difference is you’re no longer fighting over the remote and are instead championing your favorite Netflix title to get your brother or sister hooked on the same shows. Here are a few that are sure to win you some big-time street cred. Click here for the full collection.
Fortune Teller
If you are still having trouble and can’t decide, let the Fortune Teller help your family make the decision on what to watch. Download the free iconic Fortune Teller and give it a whirl! If you don’t like the pre-movie selection than make your own!
How to play:
1.Pick a color on the top four flaps and spell out the letters (e.g. B-L-U-E) while alternating a pinching and pulling motion with the teller to reveal a set of four numbers.
2. Pick a number and move the fortune teller the corresponding number of times, revealing a second set of four numbers.
3. Choose a genre and open the flap to reveal what’s up next on Netflix.
