Hi, welcome to my list of games! One of the reasons I love collecting these games is that I believe quality family time is essential to having a happy family.

Paper telephone

This is a great party game for teens or adults. Kind of like a cross between pictionary and telephone, players write sentences, convert each other's sentences into pictures, and back and forth until the results are hilarious.
Catchphrase

Catchphrase is a fast-talking guessing game, good for big groups of people. This post tells you how to play and includes some printable catchphrase word lists you can play with.

Fruit basket

Fruit basket is a simple indoor game for big groups, easy enough for young kids, and also entertaining for older kids and adults. Players switch chairs, trying not to be the one left without a chair.
