G is for Games

We like to play a lot of different games with each other every once in a whiel (well, almost every day). Some of our latest favorite games are listed below.

1. Homeschoolopoly ~ This game is like Monopoly, but uses real homeschool companies to purchase like Rainbow Resource Center, World Magazine, and Write Shop. The kids love playing this game and even the 6 year old can play along. Note: This game is no longer in production.

2. Tenzi: I stumbled on this game last year while browsing Amazon. This is a fun, fast paced game. The basic way to play is everyone gets ten dice and starts rolling them at the same time. Quickly look at your roll and decide which number you are going to go for. (For example, if you have more 3's than any other number, that's what you want to go for.) Put all your dice with that number aside,collect the remaining dice and quickly roll again. Whoever gets all ten of their dice on the same number first yells out “tenzi” and wins. I also saw this Tenzi card pack and bought it so we could have more ways to play.

3. Spoons: My kids play this card game with just a pack of cards and some plastic spoons or straws or whatever we have available. We don’t have the official game, but they know how to play and play it while watching television at night.

4. Go Fish: My six year old likes to play this easy card game and gets her brothers and sister to play wit her every once in a while.

5. A few others we play, but not on a regular basis are Sorry, Life, and Battleship.

I love when they pull out a game to play and actually play the game and get along while playing. It also nice to enjoy each other’s company and sit down at the table at night and play a game instead of being on electronics or watching television. I am sure many more can be added t this list but these are the games we play the most.
