5 Tips For Family Game Night Fun For All Ages

Having a family game night can be fun for all ages if you plan it right.  Make sure you get a few games, so that the kids can choose, and that there are games for each age group.  If older kids, like teens, have to help younger kids, or have to play some games that are for younger kids, that is okay.  Younger kids can play games for older kids by teaming up with someone older too.  Doing this not only is fun, but it creates some down-time for the whole family and where everyone can relax and chat on a casual level.

1- Planning it ahead, so others don’t make plans with friends is important.  Some people do family game night monthly, others weekly.  It is also up to your family if friends are invited.

2-Mix it up.  Have games that are family favorites and get new games.

3- You don’t have to do this at home.  You can bring games to a picnic table at your local park or to a pizza parlor.

4- Have everything planned out.  Food (especially if it is dinner time), snacks, drinks.  If you are doing it somewhere like your living room make sure there is places for drinks to be set without having them spill or use drink containers that seal.

5- If you have a large family or lots of extra kids over you can split things into teams or even groups (where each group is playing different games but in the same area with everyone else).  Make sure no one is left out.

I love games by Pressman.  They are perfect for family game night.  They have hundreds of games, for all ages.  Some are fun, others fun and educational.  They have outdoor games too (like the Hydro Strike).  The other games I received from them:

Domino Junior Friends.  This deluxe box comes with 100 high-quality dominoes, stacking stunts that look like dinosaurs and the game is easy to set up.  By Goliath Games, ages 4+.

i-Top is an electronic top.  Spin it to beat records and play different games with it.  Not a ton of group fun but it can be competitive to see who can spin it the most without it toppling over or falling off the table.  I think younger kids can play it, but might not have the dexterity to spin a top easily.  Ages 7+.  By Goliath Games.

Kids Know Best; The Kids vs Grown-Ups Trivia Game.  Don’t think you’ll win just because you are an adult!  Ages 6+.  2-4 players (or teams).  Make your way up the board, to the head of the class, by getting the correct answers.   By Pressman Games.

Play Electric Football with set by Tudor Games. You can download the app in the App Store or Google Play too (but you don’t need to).  I was able to pick out my favorite team (the 49ers) and get some stickers and figurines for my team. Players move down the field, towards the goal post.  Other things, like coin toss, pass and kick, play timers, etc are included.  Fun for all ages, including adults.  1-4 players.  Ages 6+.

You can also have fun doing arts and crafts.  Last year I bought some kits and taught my kids how to tie-dye.  We gathered some white and light-colored clothing (socks, t-shirts, even a pillow case), got the dye-set and lots of rubber bands (more than what the set asked for) and some newspaper and did it in the backyard.

Don’t forget dessert!  Arctic Zero has ice cream for everyone since it has amazing flavor and is low in carbs!  Get it in smooth and chunky flavors.  I’ve tried quiet a few and like them all. Right now you can get BOGO-free at Sprouts (good until 9/12).  They have light and non-dairy options as well as bars.

You can also do other crafts, build a puzzle, do some Madlibs, charades, etc.  No matter what you do, make sure all cell phones are put away and everyone is having fun.
