If there is one thing my kids and I love doing, it is having a game night. There is just something about being surrounded by each other and having fun. There is so much stress in the world, that it’s nice to just sit back and have a game night. Here is how to have the ultimate game night with your family.
Come up with a date
The hardest part of a game night, especially when it comes to grown children, is having a set date. We make game nights happen every Wednesday night. The kids are home and off work and my husband are available. It’s the perfect night, for us, to have the ultimate game night. It may take a while to come up with the perfect “date” for game night, but make it happen.
Get the snacks ready
We do not have game nights without snacks. This family includes the snacks as part of the night. In fact, you cannot call it a game night for us if there is not popcorn, soda, and some chocolate. I always tell everyone to pick out their favorite snack and bring it to game night. I usually provide the soda and other favorite drinks for the family.
Have your favorite game ready
The ultimate game night can only happen in our family if we have Spot It! Duel. This is a game that is so much fun and a great match for our family. You can play this game for free, right on your phone and it’s free (my favorite part). If you’re not familiar with Spot It, you can read all about the game right here. My family loves the competition this game offers. Although we play it on game night, it’s also our go to game when we have free time (traveling or waiting). Spot It! Duel brings the quick-paced, addictive symbol-matching fun of the hit family card game, Spot It! to mobile devices… For free! One thing I find fun is that there is a true multiplayer mode where both players are playing against each other, at the same time, on the same device!
So, what do you say? Having the ultimate game night comes down to the right company, the perfect date, and the ultimate game. I bet if you give it a try, you will be able to find all three. Playing games like, Spot It! Duel, helps to keep your mind focused.
My son is finally getting old enough so we can do game nights as a family. I think it is such a great idea to set aside a night for family to hang out. We will have to check out this game for our own game night.
This sounds like such a fun game! I love having a family game night, and I think this would be a big hit with the family. We will have to download it for game night this week.
Good to know this is available for Android and IOS. I guess I will download this so I can have a little break by playing this. But I am sure my cousins will definitely love this.
It sounds like a lot of fun. Games do bring people together to share knowledge, laughter and a good time.
Oh what a great family bonding. Have 2 kids but we don't have such game night. My kids just love doing on their own.
It's in my goals to have family game night. We don't do it often. I think it's a great source of fun and also bonding and getting to know each other, and yes, snacks are essential!
Wow, this game looks perfect - I will need to try it with my children, definitely! They love playing different app games! Looks like a perfect idea for a game night for us!
I definitely need to check this game out. Always looking for new things to keep me occupied when in line at the grocery store or other places. lol!
I haven't had a game night in a while! I think these are great tips! It's definitely more fun when you have everything you need, including snacks!
We usually have board games during family game night. This Spot-It app will be something really different for us to play during game nights. I will suggest this to the kids. I am sure they would agree to downloading this.
These are such great games. With my daughter going back to school in a couple weeks I said I wanted to focus more on spending time together during the school year. I'll have to test out some of these games
This app would be a great alternative to board games. it does look engaging and so much fun. I will download the game and see what my kids think. If they like it, we'll plan for a game night next weekend.
My son would love this! Looks like a lot of fun for a night of games!
That looks like a ton of fun! How cool
I use to love game- night with my kids. The kids were so competitive. Apps are easier to take care of, no space!
