QuestionMy family and I are looking for ways to stay in to save money while still having fun. We're thinking of starting regular weekly family game nights. What are some good board games we can play as a family?
AnswerWe played Charades and treasure hunts which kids really love.
Treasures can be of one classification or anything. One person is chosen each time to hide certain items around the house or yard then make up some (hints) as to what they are and where they are located. Give an amount of time to look for the items.
Charades is very fun too, providing it is made simple enough for little ones and challenging enough for older people.
Musical chairs is a great game to play too.
QuestionI have two kids in middle school. Between cell phones, computers and our hectic schedules I feel like we never spend time together as a family anymore. We've decided to start having a family game night each week so that we can all sit down together and reconnect. Can you recommend any board games that are fun for families?
QuestionOur family does a lot of traveling and the children get really bored and tired of watching movies. What are some fun car games that I should consider?
QuestionMy family is driving across country to Disney World, which will be an extremely long trip for my kids. Does anyone know of any fun car games we can play to keep them occupied?
AnswerI remember as a kid playing a game with my sisters that was fun. We would write the names of all fifty states down to start. After we did this, we were all on the look out for license plates to see if we could find a car for each one.
