for fun alternatives to watching TV. Or search the following categories:Family Game Night!
Turn off the television and disconnect the telephone for a night of family fun. Start with one night a week or make every night a game night filled with fun, learning, laughing, and just being silly. You probably have several of these classics already in your closet. Unlike television, these games teach kids how to take turns, play by the rules, and win and lose with grace.
These classic games are sure to bring back old memories, even as your family creates new ones. I can still remember playing Yahtzee! at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Cousin Stacy always won. I remember playing Monopoly for hours on end and arguing, I mean discussing, whether or not landing on Free Parking earned all the money in the center of the board. By making a family game night, your children create a similar treasure trove of happy memories.
In addition to the classics there are a few new versions of the games that are sure to please kids and adults. Sorry! The Disney Edition Game has fun Disney characters instead of the plain colored pieces for added enjoyment. Uno Attack! Has flying cards which should add excitement to any family game night.
