Family Game Night

I have always loved to play games. Board games, card games, video games-I love them all. Whenever we get together with extended family we play games. On my side of the family the current favorites are Golf (card game), Sequence, 500 Rummy and Yahtzee Free for All(which we call ‘Mean Yahtzee’). We are so competitive there is now a “Current Champions” list that hangs in my mom’s kitchen and shows who won the latest round of each game. On my husband’s side of the family the games are Mexican Train Dominoes and UNO Attack!®.

Playing games are great for bonding, memory making and just plain fun. For the last few years I have hosted Game Night at our church. One Friday night a month people ages 16 and up bring their favorite game and a snack or soda to share and we fellowship, learn new games and make new friends. We have learned a lot of great games at game night including Golf and Farkel

This school year we have added Thursday night family night to our schedule and most family nights are game nights-with the occasional movie night sprinkled in. We take turns and each week a different family member gets to pick the games we play that night. We have had a lot of fun taking time out every week to play together.

This Friday night on Twitter there is going to be a sitewarming party with great prizes. We will be introducing the new Family Game Night feature at timetoplaymag.com. RSVP to the party by clicking the sitewarming link above. I will see you there!
