10 Family Friendly Games
Shorpy

Do you want a game night full of laughter? Parties that keep you interested? Good, clean fun for kids and adults? Well, you have come to the right place. Listed here are games for friends and family of all ages to enjoy.

1. Quelf


This crazy game gets everyone involved and quickly acquainted with one another. Your goal is to get to the end of the brick road, picking up the color coordinating cards as you go. Each card deck had a special set of instructions or question for the individual or the group to perform or answer. Endless giggles and smiles will ensue.

2. Princess, Rider, Pony

This game works best with a larger group of people in a larger space. Being able to hold another person it is extremely recommended. Each person will pair up with ONE other individual and become a team. One person will become the caller over the group of pairs/teams, making sure they are able to see all of the teams and be heard by the teams. The caller will then proceed to call out Princess, Rider, or Pony in any order at any speed. When the caller calls Princess, one person in the paired group should hold the other like a princess or bridal style. When the caller calls Rider, one person needs to give the other a piggy-back ride. When the caller calls Pony , one person needs to get on their hands and knees like a horse while the other sits on their back. The goal is to be the last pair standing. If you are too slow to get your position or fail to keep the position until the next one is called, you are out.

3. Pie Face

Pie Face is a game of chance. You spin the dial, giving you a number indicating how many time you turn the handles, all while your face is in a hole, the "pie" sitting threateningly beneath your chin. It is sure to make everyone laugh, no matter the age.

4. Telestrations

Telestrations is like the Telephone games but with drawing instead of talking. It can be confusing and funny with a small or large group.

5. Mafia

This card game is about strategy and secrets. Since this game can get pretty involved, here is a link explaining the rules (http://www.menconi.com/games/mafia.html ). There is also a specific card deck you can buy for this game.

6. Numbers

Numbers is a game of focus and concentration. It works best with a medium to large group of people. All should sit in a circle. One person is designated Number 1, counting off clockwise until each person is numbered. The goal is to get in the Number 1 spot. The Number 1 person calls out another number in the group. The person with the number he calls has to call out yet another number in the group. This goes around until someone either takes too long to say a number, another person answers to the wrong number, a number outside of the group is said, or someone says their own number. When any of those thigs happen, the person who messed up has to sit in the place of the last number, while those behind the person move up a seat/place. For example, if you have eight people, Number 1 could call 2, Number 2 could call 5, and Number 5 accidentally says 5. Number 5 needs to go to the place of Number 8, Numbers 6-8 then move up to become Numbers 5-7, the old Number 5 is now the new Number 8. It gets competitive, but it is satisfying when you finally make it to Number 1.

7. UNO

This card game is a crowd favorite. It is competitive, family friendly, and for all ages! (http://www.mattelgames.com/en-us/uno/index.html?ut... )

8. Apples to Apples Junior Edition

A younger and easier-to-understand version of Apples to Apples for a family to have clean and hilarious fun. (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/74/apples-appl... )

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
