Wow, 2023 is almost over! Tomorrow is the last day so that means it’s almost time to stay up till midnight and welcome in the new year! Here are a few suggestions of fun games your family might enjoy playing together as you welcome in 2024. 🙂
#1.) Pit – This is seriously one of my all-time favorite games. It’s not hard to learn, but it’s a lively game of trading cards while you try to get the corner on one grain.
This is an older version that we’ve had for years so the new game probably looks a lot different. It’s a blast to play but its rather loud, so don’t play it when the baby is sleeping. 😉
#2.) Uno. This is another great game for families. The idea is to be the first player to run out of cards. It’s great fun to make someone “Draw Two” or “Skip” them. Even better is giving them a “Draw Four”. But just be sure that when you dish those cards out to someone else that you are prepared for paybacks! ha! 😉
#3.) Crazy Eights. This is a good game for younger kids that involves matching numbers or shapes.
#4.) Battleship. This is only a 2 player game but still lots of fun. See who can sink the other person’s ships first.
#5.) Scrabble. This game is all about making high scoring words so you need to be able to read and spell to play this one.
#6.) Yahtzee. Another of my favorite games while growing up that was played at our house quite often. It’s all about rolling dice and getting the right combination of numbers to fill up your score sheet. If you can roll the same number on all 5 dice within 3 rolls, then you make….you guessed it…a Yahtzee!
If you have younger children, you might like to try games like Chutes & Ladders, Candy Land or Memory. Our kids loved these games when they were growing up and I guess my husband and I did too! 😉
Whatever you do or whatever games your family plays on New Year’s Eve, I hope you have some great quality family time together! Hugs! 🙂
