We do alot together but for some reason hardly ever play games! I am trying to get game ideas for the free time at co-op since they fit the bill for quiet play. My middle son is so fidgety during free time there, playing games with him is saving us from who knows what he may try to do if he was super bored when my head was turned!! Anyway will be looking at your list in the somments and the link for more ideas. I must admit I’m not much of a game person. We do alot together but for some reason hardly ever play games!

It has been a bit tougher since the Littles have been home, but we still try. Come of our new favorites are Blokus and Ruckus. I also have been enjoying reading the game reviews on Callapidder Days.

When we get a third person in the house, we snag him/her to play Double Rummy with us. It's just not fun with only two people. Play play- while you have a crowd at home!! Aunt Kate I love games, too.

I'm so excited that our boys just turned three and one of their birthday gifts was Candy Land. One of my favorites when I was a little girl, and now my husband and I get to share that with our kids. I can't wait for them to find out what their favorites are... thanks for the post. I love this! I’m so excited that our boys just turned three and one of their birthday gifts was Candy Land.

We seem to be hooked on card games right now - King/Queen, Elevator, Golf, etc. We like to play games that are REALLY short - as in the 10-15 minute kind (LOL).

Lately we have not made the time like we should have. Thanks for the reminder! We love game night here too but we need to be more persistent about carving out time each week for it.

I'm glad to see them coming back. Casual games, strategy games, party, card, whatever. Get the family together and laughing for a bit. Then you can get back to the real life wories and hectic pace. I recently did a little article on games and the elderly as well, can't forget them :) Nice blog here too, glad I came upon it from Callapider Days. -Tim <a href="http://buffalogamebuffsblog.com" rel="nofollow">Buffalo GameBuffs blog</a> Definitely a game night is the way to go.
