There are few things in life that I enjoy more than a great game night with my family.  Thanks to Winning Moves games are are going to have a ton of fun together after this holiday season.  Games are a great way to connect with your family and a great way for you to be able to have a ton of fun with those that you love.

I thought that I would offer up some amazing tips for creating the perfect family game night while sharing with you the Winning Moves Games that are going to be gifts for our family and friends this holiday season.  One of the best things about Winning Moves Games is that they offer a little something for everyone and there is never a shortage of fun!

Find Games that are Perfect for the Age You Are Playing With

If you have young children playing with you then choose a game that they can play too.  However if you are playing games with adults then you will be open to playing any board games.  The new Scattergories Categories ($20.95) looks like such a fun game and I know that I am obsessed with playing this one.  As a kid Scattergories and Scattergories Jr were my favorites so this is one game that I am eager to get to check out and play.

Look for Something Themed

When you are playing games with your family and planning a game night you can theme that night any way that you wish.  During Halloween time a great game to play would have been Ouija ($25.95) (if your children are older than mine or if you were playing with just adults).  This would have been especially fun after seeing the new movie that was named after the famous game.

Find New Spins on a Family Game Night Favorite

Since you now know that I am a fan of Scattergories you can imagine how I would react to getting to play a new version of the game.  I think that the Scattergories The Card Game ($11.95) would be a ton of fun.  I love that I will be able to sit in the back with my son on long car trips and play this with him.  I also love that I can pack it when we are traveling and have something extra and fun to do.  This one is definitely going in my oldest’s stocking this year.

Choose a Game that Will Help Your Children Learn

There are so many games out there that it is easy to find a game that is going to teach your child something.  I struggle a lot of times with finding great learning games but lately I have found that there are so many ways to integrate learning into a game.  I am so excited to check out Big Boggle ($20.95) with my husband and son.  I am sure that my older daughter will be able to start playing this one next year too and that she will be able to learn a lot through playing.

Another great game to teach your children with is the Tile Lock Super Scrabble ($40.95).  This game allows for the game of Scrabble to be played in an entirely new way and it is another that I am eager to check out!  My husband and I used to spend hours playing Scrabble when we were first living together so the idea of a bigger board with more points and more room sounds like a ton of fun!

Choose Fun Challenge Stations for Your Game Night

I was trying to come up with something different one night for our family game night.  What I came up with was a unique and original way for us to all play games together while still doing different things.  I set up challenge stations and let everyone go around the room and try different challenges for a certain amount of time.  The next time that I set these up I will be featuring the Rubiks The Void Puzzle ($15.95) and Rubiks Twist ($16.95).  Since my son is obsessed with his original Rubiks Cube I can not wait for him to see these amazing new versions of one of his favorite games.

Having a family game night is a great way to bond with your entire family.  Having one with Winning Moves Games means that you are going to have a TON of fun!
