When it?s time for the family to get together you want to make sure to have games planned ahead of time that will be fun for everyone involved. If you?ve ever had boring or stressful ?family time? then you know that it?s best to plan ahead of time to make sure that it turns out to be a success. Here in this article I?ll give you a few family game night ideas that I?m certain your whole family will love.
?Rain drops on roses?.? That?s the way one of my favorite songs starts. As I was thinking up family game night ideas, I wanted to add a positive and joyful touch. So I thought of getting elements from several different games that I?ve played in my life and put it all together.
The basis of this family game idea is to get to know what each family member?s favorite things are. That way it?s not just a game, but an opportunity to get to know each person on a deeper level. Of course you can always watch children?s and family entertainment movies but games are so much more interactive.
This is how you play:
One of the family members will think of his or her favorite item. ( At the end of this post I have a list of favorite ideas that can be asked.) Players take turns asking questions to that family member and he or she can only answer yes or no to the questions. Each time a player asks a question he or she also gets to guess what the favorite thing is. If the person asking the question doesn?t guess right thing, anyone else can guess the favorite thing. Everyone takes turns asking the questions. You can also have a talking stick that can be passed around the circle to indicate who is now asking the question. The first person that guesses the favorite thing correctly wins a token. At the end of the game, the person with the most tokens wins.
Another Variance of this Game
You can play win lose or draw with it. To play this way there should be a stack of cards with the favorite thing written on each one. The first person that will to draw picks out a ?favorite card?, reads what is asked to the group, and starts drawing on a white board (or large sheet of paper) what their favorite thing is. All of the other players gather around and shout out their guesses while the person is drawing. The first person that guesses correctly wins a point and gets to keep a token to keep track of how many correct guesses he or she had. The person drawing picks out the next card. Each player gets to pick out 3 or 4 cards (depending on the amount of players). In the end, the person with the most correct guesses, wins a prize. If you go through 20 of the following questions, this game will last about an hour. You don?t have to use all of the questions and if someone feels the questioon is too hard, they can choose another one. It?s more about everyone having a fun time.
