With us spending a little more time together this time of year, it's time to bring out the games. We have a few definite favorites, but we're always interested in more. Here's a brief little run-through of our top picks.
William loves Cranium. Plenty to do, not just a sit there sort of game, much more to his interest than say Monopoly. He likes being able to act things out, sculpt, draw, etc. He did a great job of sculpting a corn of the cob. Good for crowds and easy to adapt the rules.
Sarah likes Scattergories and Pictionary. She is very quick with drawing. She's also good at strategy and bluffing, so anything where you have to do that is cake for her. Since she and Will are dyslexic, games like Scrabble or Boggle are harder for them.
Ellen loves Apples to Apples. I think it is her very favorite, but she also loves Boggle and other word games.
Randy likes Risk, but he enjoys just about any game. My favorites are word games, like Huggermugger or Oxford Dilemma, both good ones for older kids and adults, and Scrabble.
We also love card games, but those always send to wind up getting lost. We have two half-decks of Uno, which is fine, but half a game of The Great Dalmuti does not work at all.
Maybe this holiday we can have another game night with friends, but even with just us, it's still a lot of fun.
