Family games at home has endless opportunities and variations. But let’s be honest, when housework has no end and kids are always asking for surprises or activities, your mind is just blowing away. Sometimes even I run out of ideas on what to do when we all are gathered together.
Truth to be told, after a long week we all get absent-minded and it looks like mission impossible to gather people in one place, keep their attention and enjoy the time spent together.
As in every moment in life, nothing helps as much as positivity and a good dose of laugh. It’s something that cheers all family up and brings to the moment of present. You need just one minute, one try and all the family members find themselves here and now.
To make your life easier, I’ve decided to gather my TOP 10 family games at home that always work. They are simple to set up (as always!), they are fun and silly. It definitely makes your family laugh most of the time (yes, you AND the kids!). After these games you all feel connected, relaxed and happy!
