Whenever we get together for the holidays with family, we always end up staying up late playing games. Sometimes it’s canasta with granny, and sometimes it’s charades with all the adults. I love giving a game to my family for the holidays, so we have something new and fun to try. Here’s a round-up of some popular games out there, perfect for giving and playing!

- Telestrations: Based off the classic game “telephone”, draw what you see, and then guess what you saw for hilarious and unpredictable outcomes. It’s miscommunication at its best!
- Spaceteam: Chaotic and cooperative card game for people who are into spaceships and shouting at their friends.
- The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game: perfect for the “little ones” in the family. Develops matching, sorting, strategic thinking, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills.
- Wits and Wagers: The fun board game tests your knowledge on odd and funny number facts. Everyone gets a chance to place a bet on the closest answer someone writes down. If you put your tokens down on the right card, you win the round!
- Kan Jam: The ultimate outdoor game!
- Sequence: exciting strategy game for everyone who loves a challenge. (Plus, Sequence for kids!)
- Werewolf: a party game of lies, deceit, and accusations.
- Shoot the Moon: 1940’s nostalgia game – Balance the ball on the track to score points. Great to have going on in the background
- Qwirkle: the perfect game to hone player’s tactical maneuvers, strategical planning, and forward thinking.
- Reverse Charades: a hilarious twist on the classic game of charades. Instead of one person acting out a clue for a team to guess, a team acts out clues for one person to guess.
