Being a parent is not easy. Sometimes, it’s hard to come up with activities that the whole family will enjoy. And let’s face it, the world has changed so much that it’s hard to get our kids to unplug from technology and enjoy family time. That’s when game night comes in handy, an activity that has been around for generations. It is a perfect way to spend time with the family, have fun, laugh, and create memories. Here are some ideas to take your family game night to the next level and elevate your evenings together.
1. Add some twist to the traditional games
If you’re tired of playing Monopoly or Scrabble the same way every time, why not put a twist on it? You could add a rule that players have to speak in a silly accent or wear a silly hat while playing. You could also have players switch up teams in the middle of the game or switch up the way the pieces move. Get creative!
2. Host a themed game night
Who says game night can’t have a theme? Plan a game night around a particular theme like Harry Potter or a Disney movie. Dress up in costumes, decorate the room, and choose games that fit the theme. For example, you could play Harry Potter trivia or Disney-themed charades.
3. DIY your own games
Instead of buying games from the store, why not get crafty and make your own? You could make a giant Jenga set with wooden blocks, create a board game from scratch or build your own cornhole set. The possibilities are endless, and this could become a fun project for the family, in addition to the game night itself.
4. Set up a tournament with prizes
Create a mini-tournament of games and keep score. At the end of the game night, whoever has the most points wins a prize. It could be as simple as getting to choose what’s for dinner the next night or a gift card to their favorite store. The idea is to make it fun and rewarding.
5. Have a game-themed potluck
Make the game night more exciting by turning it into a potluck where everyone brings a dish that’s game-themed. For example, you could make Scrabble cupcakes or Monopoly money cookies. This adds another layer of excitement and creativity, and it’s also a chance to try out new recipes.
