Thanksgiving gratitude tradition
A Thanksgiving tradition my mother-in-law always does. It’s a talking reflection activity, a great way to develop grateful hearts because it goes beyond the typical “Name one thing you’re grateful for this year.”
Musical pictionary
A fun version of pictionary where you draw and get other players to guess song titles. Included is a free printable list of Disney song titles.
Hot lava
This is the classic children’s game every child thinks he or she invented. Basically, THE FLOOR IS LAVA! Don’t touch it! Can be played indoors or at a park. 🙂
Murder: Hand-squeezing version
A group game where one player, the murderer, squeezes people’s hands to “kill” them, trying to kill as many as he can before his identity is discovered.
Mafia
A group game best played late at night. Players discuss, lie, and deceive to try to discover the identity of a secret murderer amongst the group before they’re all eliminated.
Murder: Winks Version
A group game where one player tries to eliminate other players by winking at them. Great for a Halloween party game!
Pictionades (pictionary meets charades): Star Wars version
A game I kind of made up that involves drawing (like pictionary) and acting (like charades). And in this version, Star Wars, in honor of my family’s Halloween costumes this year.
Would you rather
A hypothetical talking game where players choose which of two scenarios they’d rather do. It can get kind of silly/absurd, which is always fun. For example…would you rather play “Would you rather” only for the rest of your life, or never play another game again? 😉
Boo! Halloween Treat Ding Dong Ditch
This is a great Halloween tradition. You spread treats and Halloween cheer throughout your neighborhood, all in secret!
Skittles
A game about cramming as many skittles candies into your mouth as possible. Kind of silly and maybe, depending on your point of view, a little gross, too.
