Favorite Family Games

We are a board-game playing family. Do you play games? I feel like board games are dying out in many homes, and it makes me so sad. We have two areas that we keep our games, and they are pretty full!

UNO– obviously. Our youngest is 6, and can mostly play this without help now. We have taught our children that there is no mercy in UNO. haha! We also just bought the waterproof version for when we camp.

Spot It!– There are so many ways to play this game and so many versions to choose from!!

Rack-O — This one is an oldie but a goodie.

Clue— another classic! The kids love playing this, and so do we!!

Monopoly, Jr.— This one is fun because it is much easier for the kids to play. It’s still tons of fun, but doesn’t take one hundred years to finish a game.

Yahtzee — Our older girls can play this really well. They haven’t quite figured out the strategy, but they have tons of fun with it.

Battleship— This is one that the kids love, and that Scott and I will play by ourselves. We bough the original version off of ebay. It felt wrong to have anything but the blue and red boards.

I hope everyone dusts off an old game and plays it this weekend!
