Getting the whole family together is a huge summit at times. If you have managed to do so, then you can now plan how to make it a memorable one by playing some interesting group games. These games mentioned below can be played by all age groups and ensure to bring in a lot of laughter and fun.
Card Games
This is possibly the only type of game that can be played anywhere and at any time. Whip out a deck of playing cards and form a circle to start playing. Fun games that can be played with cards are Fo Fish, 31, Crazy Eight, Chase The Ace, and so on. Gathering with adults only? No problem. Layout some beverages, dress the tables and put on a bow to lead a game of Poker or Rummy. You can make it even more fun by adding a money-betting element to it.
Talent Show
This one can bring loads of fun for a longer period. What more, at the end of a talent show, you might even be surprised by the hidden skills some of your family members have. Make each family member perform a talent in front of the rest. If some of them are shy or not sure of the talent you can help them by giving them ideas. After all, it is not a real competition. However, you can still keep small prizes for everyone who participates.
Scavenger Hunt
Everyone definitely at some point wanted to be a detective from a movie or book. Give your family members a chance to be a detective in real-time by organizing a scavenger hunt. This type of game includes searching and collecting specific items. They also need to solve the clues given to finally get to the treasure that is hidden. You can make it as hard as you want or basic if you have children involved. However, make sure that the children are at a safe distance from you and don’t go too far out of your sight. This game is played in a team and thereby helps to build a camaraderie between people.
Family Trivia
This game can be played by the whole family and give them all a chance to recollect memories they have of each other. Prepare a questionnaire and give it to all family members. You can even put them in teams of two. The size of the team will depend on the number of your family members. You can then ask questions about family members like where did they study, favorite colors, and so on. Keep in mind that you have done your research first so that you know the correct answers.
Family time with fun games can help you create lasting memories. A nice spread of food or BBQ, some refreshing drinks, and a round of interesting games can be the best mix for your next family reunion. You can even add some smaller games if there are many children like a sandbox or bouncing castle, so they too are entertained.
