In a world where technology and screen time is inevitable, sitting down and playing a game as a family is a great way to unplug. We enjoy the face to face interactions, even if someone is crying or pouting 🙈. It’s interactive, it practices teamwork and most of all it is a lot of fun!
There are hundreds of amazing family board games out there. I personally love the classics like Monopoly and Scrabble. But my kids have their own favorites like SpotIt and Sequence. Whatever we choose to play it is a great way to build skills like counting, logic, literacy and so much more. But most of all games promote family time.
Here is a list of some of our favorite games.
