We had a family game night at work the other night. (I work in a toy store, remember?) Of course, just as game night was about to begin, there was a HUGE downpour so we didn't have that many families attend.
I was in charge of a couple of games. I was standing by the door and the first family that came into the store, came right over and we started playing a game. We went through a round of Headbands (an OK game) then moved on to "5 Second Rule." If you haven't played 5 Second Rule, you don't know what you are missing. There is a timer and you have 5 seconds to answer the question. Examples: Name 3 Desserts. If you can't name three, play goes to the next person. The next person has 5 seconds to Name 3 Desserts but they can not say any that the first person said during their turn. It can get pretty crazy.
Getting back to my story....a card is read for the daughter (she's 9 or 10). Name 3 honeymoon destinations.
Beach
New York
She couldn't think of a third and the timer ran out and her brother decides to help her and blurts out: "McDonald's!" We all laughed and I told him that he might want to rethink that destination when he gets married.
The next card was read for the son. Name 3 Holidays that you would send a Hallmark card.
Christmas
Birthday
President's Day
I teased him the rest of the night and told him that I expect a card for President's Day next year.
Does your family do a game night? What's your favorite game to play as a family?
