Growing up, we played board games all the time. I can remember having so much fun with my little sisters playing games like Uno, Hotels, Monopoly, Guess Who, and the like. Now that I have my own family, my love for games continues. But I admit, we don't play them as much as we should. Folks are just too busy with all of the computers, smart phones, and tablets.
This Summer, I decided to play more games with my kids. Here are a few things that I plan on doing to make Game Night possible.

1. First, establish a day for Game Night. Choose a day when everyone will be home and you don't have any other commitments. Plan it in your week like you would any other event.
2. Play games that are age appropriate. If your little ones don't understand how a game is played, it won't be fun for them. Also, as adults it's okay to meet them half way. If your kids love playing go fish, then by all means, participate and have fun!
3. Have game night snacks like Chex Mix Popped. It's all the goodness of Chex Mix with popcorn added to it. Try flavors like White Cheddar and Sweet & Salty for a tasty spin on your regular popcorn. Yum! It's perfect for movie night too. Visit for more chex.com for info.

Do you have Game Night at your house?
We really don't do game nights often and when we do, it ends up being a card game of some sort. I can't wait to try CHex Mix Popped. I'm such a snacker and this sounds like something I would love. Thanks for sharing your review!

It really is a neat combination!
DeleteI must admit, I haven't done game night in my household in years. Like you said Stacie, I'm so busy with my electronics and mom duties I never have the time to sit down and play some good ol' fashion board games. #ProductReviewParty
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad. I think it's just the times we live in. It was so much simpler when we were younger.
DeleteWe Looove playing board games over here :) We don't have an official night we designate to it, but we should because we have so many games! #productreviewparty
ReplyDeleteSounds like your house is the place to be! :)
DeleteGame night is pretty fun.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a regular game night. I just tell the kids when we're going to do it. Sometimes I enjoy playing with just my three youngest and there are other times when too much whining or spoilsports take the fun out of it. No one else to take up the slack, ya know? Amber and I played games when she was little and when I was a teenager my mom would play with me. My brother is nine years older than me so it was like I was an only child at home without siblings. (My brother does remember when I was in daycare and elementary school when I used to give him a hard time! LOL)
ReplyDeleteNow that school is starting and we'll hae a more disciplined schedule maybe I can schedule a game night. It'll be great as a break to end the week!
My sisters and my mom would play lots of games. Good times! I have to be intentional with my family too. As long as you at least make the time, you're good. :)
