The benefits of this close family time are so wide and far reaching for all family members. It teaches kids how to think, express themeselves, win with dignity, lose with dignity, and families become closer and tighter. I wish more families had these kind of night and spent this kind of time together.

Great article topic.

That bit about kids remembering family time through board games is just so true. A friend doesn’t remember much about his childhood but he definitely remembers their board game nights :)

Interesting post and equally interesting comments thread you’ve got here :)

Board games are actually good for the children. It is not just fun but it is also beneficial to the the kids as there vocabulary will be enhanced with it.

We love playing “Uno” on family nights because everyone can play including very young children..they may not know all their numbers but most young children know their colors. The numbers are big enough for that special person (Hubby) that doesn’t like wearing their glasses (hint hint). The teens even like playing too….

Whether you’re playing checkers, chess, Monopoly or Chutes and Ladders, do it outside on the porch, the picnic table or on a blanket whenever weather permits. Evidence is mounting that the more exposure to Nature kids get, the less their likelihood of developing ADD, ADHD or other problems.

Playing board games with your family has a lot of benefits. One of my fave is chess. Playing chess enhances my concentration. Other board games like Cashflow 101, Tycoon and many more really help kids become aware of their finances.

There are 4 in our family; 3 of us will play games, 1 hates them (it’s Dad). However, there are a few that we can convince him to play. Just this morning as I was preparing for work, I thought to myself that it’s about time to start our game nights back up. We find this easy to do in the fall and winter months when we no longer want to be outside later in the day and evening. Our favorites are card games, Pictureeka, dominos and Uno. Our youngest daughter and i do puzzles together too. We have a table in the basement that we can place a puzzle on and if we don’t get it done in one sitting it’s ok to leave it out and we can pick it up again when it’s convenient.
