Just recently, I talked about how much CandyMan and I loved playing board games when we were dating and in the early years of our marriage. We took a little break from playing many games after we started having kids. We were tired and there were little hands interested in grabbing game pieces and messing up a game board. It wasn’t a great recipe for for a fun and relaxing time together.
Luckily kids grow up, and not only are my kids no longer interested in eating the dice, but they actually enjoy playing games with us. CandyMan and I can once again play the games that we love. And we all get quality time together.
I decided to ask my kids and husband what they love most about playing games together.
KitKat (14)“I like laughing and the funny things people say and having fun inside jokes and memories with them.”
Necco (12)“My favorite thing is playing and bonding with the family.”
Twizzler (10)“I like games because usually they are easy to understand and they involve strategic involvement.”
Reese (8)“It’s fun to play with everyone.”
AJ (6)“I like learning things and laughing together.”
CandyMan (40)“I like to see how the kids get smarter and understand things better. How their vocabulary and thinking skills develop and how they approach problem solving differently. And the comedy that usually ensues.”

I think it’s fantastic you posted this! My husband and I have always been huge fans of board games and the like. To this day, we still have UNO championships – I always win, of course. ;-) Our daughter is almost two, so playing board games has kind of taken a back seat for awhile. However, I come from a family of five, so around the holidays, it’s always great family-bonding for everyone to get together and play and laugh! It’s something I like forward to every year during Christmas!
Board games bring families together–at least in my house. We love playing together and being together as a family. For just that few hours, everything is put aside as we spend time laughing and playing together
