Life has been crazier than usual lately, since I started working full time as a teacher! I still try to make time to play games with my kids though a few times a week. We play a card game like Rummy or Trash almost every evening before bed and we play a board game once or twice a week. Lately we've ...

I bought this game because I thought it would be fun to play around Halloween last year. (I use any excuse to buy a game. 😂) Over the past 3 months, it has become our favorite game to play as a family. The kids love it, because it is hilarious and fun. Their dad and I love it because one round only ...

There is not a game in the world that makes my kids laugh as much as this one. Not all parents are going to be comfortable with the potty references, but all in all, the humor is pretty tame.

The younger kids don't typically win, but they can still score points, which keeps them interested. This is on of ...

This is hands down my kids' new favorite game (ages 3 to 10). They got it for Christmas and we have played it several times in the past week. I'm not sure it would count as "educational" by any standards, but it definitely fosters family togetherness. It also allows kids to work on their attention ...
