Family Games For All Ages and Occasions

Best Family Games - Board Games for Toddlers to Board Games for Teens. Fun for the whole family to get you off your tech and bringing family game night back!

Think back to the family games of your childhood. Do you remember the triumph you felt when one of your siblings landed on your Boardwalk property where you had just managed to build a hotel? Or how about all the memories you have of laughing ’til it hurt playing Twister or pretending to make the voices of all the characters in Clue.

Family game nights seem to be going out of style with our busy lives and the distraction of technology.

BUT games have been one of the best ways for families to connect for decades, if not centuries.  It is often one of the few activities than can bridge age and generation gaps.

Plus, family games not only provide an opportunity for building relationships with our kids, but also can have other important benefits. Games can play a crucial role in helping kids build executive function skills, which are key to helping them formulate and pursue goals.

These types of skills are being shown to have more predictive power on a child’s educational success than IQ.

So, don’t you think it’s time that family game night makes a comeback? If you’re wondering where to start, we’ve got ideas for lots of different ages and interests.

There’s board games for kids, board games for teens, pool games, outdoor games, card games and even holiday games. Come on, LETS PLAY!!!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
