Sometimes everyday life of family life can make you feel cut off as a family.
It could be that you retreat to your individual corners in the world to pamper yourself in a separate screen time. Or you focus on “list” instead of each other when you run a lot of tasks. Or maybe you rush through homework / dinner / bathing routine because your eyes are on the gift at the end of everything: a glass of wine + sofa + TV without mind.
When this happens, your patience can dry or your children can stop working together – usually both.
When our family felt cut off, one thing seemed to have magical power to bring us back with a smile and laughter.
Queens sleep
If you don’t get anything from this, you have to play this game. Promise me! Because all our favorite family games for all ages, this is our number one. The rules are quite simple for our children to understand at the age of three, but the game still keeps everyone on their toes.
We have never been bored with this one! Plus, you can play the entire game in about 10 minutes. Perfect to get a family connection dose before sending a small child to bed.
Note: The manufacturer said this for the age of 8 and above, but according to several other families (including mine!) Most of the 4-year-old children are ready for this game, especially if you help them a little with a number card.

“My daughter and I like the queen of sleep! It taught them math without them realizing it – or me, in this matter. I remember my daughter setting a sequence like 1 + 3 + 5 = 9, and I thought ‘Do you know that …?’ Then I realized that he only knew from doing math in the game. Very cool to watch him learn right in front of my eyes. “- Ann.
By the way, when you play a card game with your child, this card holder is a must have a small hand. Your child can hold it to see their cards, or they can set a stand on the table to rest. (This special card holder has reached the test of time, different from the other cardholder we tried.)
Game Against Potter With 300 Cards – Party Game Against (Digital Dowload)
The basic game is simple, you discuss about 7-10 white answer cards for each player, 1 person pulls a black answer card and read it for everyone to fill the empty part. Everyone except the master question sends their answers to the center, trying to make the most silly, rude, funny, crazy answer they can. The master question reads the question and fills the blank part with the answer and chooses the best answer. Cards against humanity friends article.
Journey!
This game is like a Clue but for younger children – but it’s still fun for adults too. A change to steal the pai pai, and you have to find out which foxes before they escape to the protection hole.
My children regularly play this cooperative Whodunnit game independently, and I like watching them work together as a team to solve the mystery. This is a fun little game to build children’s logic and deductive reasoning skills!
Sushi goes
This fun card game is one of our favorite games for the whole family because you can play it quickly. My children will be happy to sit and play this one for an hour or more – round after the round.
To play, you choose one card from your hand to maintain yourself, then skip your card to the next person. Everyone keeps doing this until all the cards are selected. Then you score points based on which card you choose to be saved: Do you get the most rolls? Do you dip your nigiri in Wasabi for triple worth?
When my second child was 3 years old, he liked this game, even though he didn’t get a card strategy which should be saved. In fact, he doesn’t care who wins because he has just taken his favorite card and passes the rest. Now he’s older, he starts taking a strategy – and his younger sister is now in the phase “has a blast retrieval card”.
“I can confirm the strength of the board game. It’s our bond time where we all have fun together. Sushi goes is one of our favorites when we lack time!” – Olivia.
Find! JR animal or see it! Classic
My favorite part of this matching game is very portable. When we go to a place where children have to wait a little, like the doctor’s office or to the restaurant, I can throw this little game in my wallet and keep all the kids entertained and relatively calm. (Note Side: Small Tin Holding the card also makes this game very suitable as Stuffer Stuffer for kids!)
Junior edition This game is better for younger children because of the larger image features and fewer images on each card. Also, some regular version editions require some reading, but the junior edition does not require any reading.
By the way, of all family board games for all ages included in this list, this is the most often recommended by readers!
“A must have a game for every house that is perfect for all ages … see it! This is a game that is suitable at a completely new level. My husband and I like this game as many children!” – Cristy.
Mouse cat-a-tat
In this fast-paced card game, your goal is to collect cards so you will have the lowest possible points. That means getting rid of a high card (mouse) and go for a low card (cat). When you think you get the lowest score, you call “cat-a-tat cat!”
This fast game builds your child’s memory skills and makes sense, plus you can play the entire game in about 10 minutes, which is good for additional doses of connection with your child before going to bed.
This game is in our regular rotation, and we also like to play it between the queen’s round of sleep for speed changes. It’s a perfect mix of silly, challenging, and fun!
“My 5-year-old favorite is currently a cat tat by Gamewright. I really like how rules can be adapted for the ‘easy’ and ‘hard’ game version, giving a longer game!” – Patricia.
Smart game for the whole family that will sharpen a little mind
Your whole family will have fun playing this board game for all ages, and your children won’t even realize that they also grow their brains!
