My kids are finally to the age where family game night means more than Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders. But it’s been a bit of a challenge to find fun games that don’t bore mom and dad to death. I headed to Amazon to find 20 fun family board games to help inspire all of us to play more games. We own some of these and others I just think look great.
1. Beat The Parents Board Game
: Kids vs. Parents?? I can’t think of a kid who wouldn’t love the chance to take on mom and dad!
2. Pictopia-Family Trivia Game: Disney Edition
: I love anything with trivia and add in Disney and it looks like a great family board game.
3. Reverse Charades: This fun game promotes creativity and gets more people in on the action!
4. Brain Quest Smart Game
: Kids answer age appropriate questions in a race to spell SMART – Science, Math, Art, Reading and The World! This one is a little more educational.
