11 Games That Any Family Wanting To Have A Fantastic  Family Game Night Absolutely, Positively MUST Have

In This Article:

Family game nights can bring out the best and worse in some people. You'll find that the competitive ones will really shine, especially if they are winning.

Not only can it do all that, but it can lead to lasting memories for all those involved (whether it's the same person winning or not). I know I definitely have a few good ones :)

Here are just a few games to get your family fun night started off right!

1. Monopoly

In Monopoly (and there are several versions) you move your token around a board collecting property and collecting rent from other players.

2.The Game of Life

Start a career, have a family, pay taxes, and more. Honestly, this one and Monopoly are two that I remember playing as a family the most.

3.Clue/Clue Jr.

Ah yes, Clue Jr., the kid friendly version where instead of finding a murderer you figure out who ate the last piece of cake.

4. Sorry

A game I always played with my grandmother. The main goal is to get all of your pieces to home before your opponent does.

5. Candyland

A racing game perfect for children of all ages. There is no strategy involved; you are only required to follow simple directions.

6. Blokus

The main goal being to get all your pieces on the board before the other players.

7. Chutes and Ladders

chutes and ladders

Spin the spinner to see how far you'll go. If you land at the bottom of the ladder, you get to slide right to the top!

8.  Operation

You get to be the doctor in this one, but make sure you don't let the patients nose buzz.

9. Apples to Apples

A fun kid version of Cards Against Humanity.

10. Hedbanz

Perfect for a family with young children.

11. UNO

This isn't really a board game but that doesn't mean it's not a fun one!

Happy Playing!

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.
