FAMILY TIME

Most families spend time together; however, families with conflicting or busy schedules suffer, due to loss of quality family time and it's just plain sad. When was the last time you played a game with the entire family? Do you really know Uncle Bob's real nature or his wife, your Aunts, true personality? Bet you didn't know how funny Uncle Bob could be.? Or how about Aunt Milly, when she chastises her beloved husband Bob, for spatting with little Nellie, her 10 year old niece. Whatever your family dynamic, you're sure to get to know the family better, if you're sharing in game time activities. Because family time is more than the average-important, it ranks #1 on our list for "How beneficial are family board and card games for kids. When I think of family time games for kids, I think of game of "Operation". Although not a card game, like our Watch Ya' Mouth editions, its hard not to remember the family time that shaped our lives. We had such fun trying not to touch the metal so that the body's nose didn't light up and make a sound. Or, how about "Mouse trap"?

FOLLOWING RULES

We all have to follow basic rules right? There are rules for this and that, everywhere we go there are rules. All games have rules, very specific rules in which to follow. A handful of fun loving families, like to make their own rules, and its awesome, but only if everyone understands and then follows them. Make the rules clear at the beginning so that following the rules is easy. Having and following rules is a life-lesson inculcated in children who play any type of game and one of the many benefits of game playing with families.
