Many people say that having family dinner—like that intimate, technology-free dinner—is a lost tradition. So I thought it would be nice to find ways for you to bring your family back to the table. And what better way to make the table more attractive than dinner table games! Not to mention, these are great gift ideas and useful tips on how to keep kids at any holiday party or dinner entertained:
Table Topics Family Edition
Table Topics is a fun game designed to help you learn about your kids and teach them the art of conversation. Topics are creative and cover areas like ‘if you could meet one famous athlete, who would he/she be?’ and ‘is it more fun to be a parent or a child?’.
Mr. and Mrs. Freeze
This is a fun game that keeps everyone on their guard to make sure they’re not the last one standing—or in this case freezing. It’s simple: you pick a person to be Mr. or Mrs. Freeze and during the night, they decide when they want to freeze (meaning stop all movement, including their mouth). Everyone must be on the look-out for when Mr. or Mrs. Freeze freezes so that they too can freeze. The last person to catch on is out.
Construction Utensils
Although this is not a dinner table game, I thought it was a cool way to get your little ones to sit at the table without complaining about eating their veggies. Construction cutlery is designed to make the most finicky of eaters reconsider their peas and carrots.
