Does your family have a family game night?

We don't at the present time. But, I would love to incorporate this into our schedule somehow. What kinds of games do you play with your family?

No we don't and I would really love to have one. My family would never go for it. My husband thinks board games are boring. Oh well. Have a great day and happy myLotting!

I think that's such an awesome thing to do with family. Something like that will stick for a lifetime. It's a great tradition and brings, or keeps, family close. We used to gather about once a month to play card games such as nerds or spoons. We'd be falling all over each other like Twister. Wonderful times. We now get together every Sunday for lunch. The pack of cards still come out for the young ones. I still don't know how to play "go fish" though.

My kids are grown up and moved away but when they come home to visit we love playing board games. Once every three months my brother and his wife....and my two sisters and brother in law get together for dinner and to play games...we like cranium etc. Now next weekend all of my brother, sisters and my family have a weekend at the lake. We have a tournament of a card game. You play at least three games. Whoever has the lowest score is the winner. We all have matching tee shirts....a trophy....and a hat that says first place. We all bring a gift and everyone get gift to take home...some silly and some just great gifts...even the little ones. There is also boating....swimming....holey board...to play when you are not getting in your games. In the past we have teams to make the meals and you do them by a theme that is picked for the weekend. One year it was Martha Stewart meets Jimmy Buffet.....what a hoot! You dress for your meal in something that matches the theme and there is a prize for that too! It's so much fun. One problem.....one cabin...two bathrooms and 25 to 30 people! LOL...so there's alot of tents and campers on the back yard!

Our family game is scrabble. It helps us widen our English vocabulary but more than that I love the feeling of healthy competition among us. The joy it brings to each of us and the fellowship as well. The winner gets pampered and the losers will be the slaves of the winner. Ha!ha!ha!

thats the best thing i've heard in a long time. since pc games and xbox, etc. hardly anyone does that any more. i did the board games with my kids always and they still talk fondly of it. but dont do the same with theirs

Well we had a family night with games but it was the the a few of the families coming over and the kids played their games together as the adults played theirs usually Poker,Scramble,Yahtzee and Rook for us adults and candyland,monopoly twister and a few others for the kids. We teach you win some you lose some doesn't mean you will always lose or win.

Yes, my family used to have a game night when my brother and I were younger. We used to play "The Game of Life", sadly enough, it really was like life.

That would be pretty hard since we all live in diferent cities. LOL

We do not have family game night. My husband does not like playing games. I do and use to play games with our children. I still would and do when I have some friends over.

I think a family games night is a wonderful idea,but lol I only have hubby here and he is most defiantely not into any board games!my daughter and son in law frequently have a games night with their daughter,they play Monopoly,but lol im not too sure about the character building if she loses,she has a drama queen attack!and then storms out of the room!

No but I think it would be fun. When we have family time we will usually go out somewhere or for a walk, we also have some television shows we all like to watch as a family. Once in a while we will play a game with the kids.

No we don't have family game night, its only my husband and I in the home. It sounds like fun tho...when can I come over and play?..lol

Not these days, but we often did when the four children were little. They loved mahjongg, so we used to have great times playing that. It's a really nice thing to do - and gets everyone away from the telly for a change!

None. I envy your brood. I wish we could also play on a regular basis. But I do spend time with my children and nieces and nephews. If they are playing sometimes I joined them. But it is a very rare chance.

My family plays games when grandma comes to visit every night. Otherwise we play the occasional game but not a certain night of the week. I do play D&D every Wednesday night with some friends from work.

We used to get together and play Monopoly on a sunday but we don't do that now unfortunately! x

Unfortunately no. I wish we did, but hubby cant be "bothered" with games after working a hard week at work. Especially a game that my 5 yr old would be able to play. So i try to make it a point a cpl times a week for my son and I to at least play a game. Usually its candy land, as thats his fave game of all time, stilll to this day. I love word games and well hubby is not quite at the same vocabulary level as I and says he refuses to play cuz he always loses...what a sour sport.

We used to when I was a kid and I loved those times. We play alot of games with my kids now (3 and 4) but don't have a specific night set up. I think we should. Thanks

Ahh I remember the good old days when we used to every now and then have a family games night. Monopoly was like the best. Cards, scrabble. I agree that board games seemed to turn out the best, but even charades was cool. THose were good times but since we've grown up it stopped :( I guess noone has time for it anymore
