Thanks for the post :) (And thanks to the commenters for additional ideas.)Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233493011472498378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-56957470966975874082010-03-10T13:35:48.887-08:002010-03-10T13:35:48.887-08:00We really like Apples to Apples, too.

But I should probably invest in the Jr. version since I end up spending some time at the beginning filtering out inappropriate cards and time during gameplay trying to explain my daughter's cards to her ("The industrial revolution was ...")<br /><br />We also like chicken foot (dominoes). The kids actually like Scrabble, but we have to be sure to keep the pace moving or they get bored. Recently we pulled out the old Pictionary game, which everyone liked, although we had to modify the rules and just played it our own way. This is fun if you have a dry erase board. We haven't played Uno in a while, but everyone likes that one, too.<br /><br />I don't think we keep score in any of our games, except for Scrabble maybe.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764476062238501778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-21710930782851661832010-03-10T07:02:00.229-08:002010-03-10T07:02:00.229-08:00We love Apples to Apples Jr. and Zingo.

Some examples of the cards are..."Animal Zoo": Go around the table naming animals that start with A, B, C, etc. "Who Wore What": Everyone tries to guess who wore what clothing yesterday. "The Last Bite": Pass a small bowl of edibles such as raisins, baby carrots, grapes etc. Each person takes on piece, whoever gets the last piece wins. Or, the last person to eat gets to clean off the table. The kids ask to play this just about every night. We have started to reserve it for one night a week as a reward for good manners the other nights. A good variety of games that work for lots of ages.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212361966814574938noreply@blogger.com
