The 40 Greatest Family Games

The games are classified into families according to the situations in which they most commonly occur: Life Games, Marital Games, Party Games, Sexual Games and Underworld Games; then comes a section for professionals on Consulting Room Games, and finally, some examples of Good Games.

One of our favorite family rituals is to eat dinner together and play a game called “High, Low, Hero.” People share their high and low points from the day as well

Part of what makes great games great, for example, is the way that they “shape” our play.

Any time I ask my children if they want to play something or have a dance party they always say yes. We have journaling club every Monday after school. We cut stuff out of magazines, stamp with our fingers, draw maps and houses, write about our dreams. We are not trying to achieve anything; we are just enjoying time together creating, with snacks.
