Game Night
I love nothing more than my family and spending time with them. So what we try to do once a month is family game night. We’ll get together and play good old fashioned board games. My mother, sister and I have always loved playing games since we were young kids. My sister and I have kids of our own, now ages ranging 17-21 and they to enjoy playing games whit us which is surprising that they make time for us. Ha-ha. So we’ll get together and have dinner or just snacks and then let the games begin. My sister, niece and nephew are pretty competitive when we play. My husband “says” he doesn’t like playing games but when we get started he get’s into it and has a good time. Then my two sons act like they don’t really know what’s going on but they are actually smarter than they appear and surprise everyone with good answers. Lately we have been playing Buzzword.
It is a challenging game. You split into to two teams and when it’s your turn you read to your team a word, let’s say the word is Ball. Then you read the ten questions and each answer will have the word Ball in it. Example….
Q.) Inflatable sand toy………………..A.)Beach ball!
Q.) On top of spaghetti………………….A.) Meatball!
Q.) A psychic stares into one………A.) Crystal ball!
Each answer you get correct you get a point and the first team to 50 wins.
Of course we all still like to play our Nintendo Wii and X-Box and Nintendo DS but its fun to sit around in a group to play board games.
We are always looking for new and exciting board games, so if anyone has played any recently and could recommend one that would be awesome!

I have not played Buzz Word before, sounds like a fun game and for a range of ages. I will have to try it out. We enjoy doing a game night every now and again, so new game ideas are always great. You should check out Apples to Apples. It is a new favorite in my house. Thank you for the new game suggestion.

I have heard of that game and it is a lot of fun. I really love having game night with my family also. We have tried some of the DVD games for TV but after awhile everyone knows all the answers
With the board games we can always go out and buy new card questions for the game.
