What is your Favorite Family Game?
September & October we are focusing on Family Game Night at Learning Express of Roseville. Playing games as a family is a great way to work on sharing, turn-taking, and of course learning how to be a gracious winner or loser! We have had some super fun nights with neighbors, family and the kids. One of my fondest, most-favorite childhood memories is playing Yahtzee with my Gramps. I loved playing that game with him! We would play over and over again, going through sheets and sheets of scorepads. Ultimately we would play for 25 cents a game! Until he passed 2 years ago, he still reminded me about how much he loved that time we spent together. I really want to hear what games you play. What are your kids' favorites games? My 6 year old niece recently go me addicted to Blink - it's so fast and fun. It's SET meets SPEED in one game. My 30 year old niece and I get darn right competitive about Bananagrams, ugh! She really makes me mad because she ALWAYS wins! Yes, I can be a BAD loser! As a mom, I would cringe whenever my son wanted to play Chutes N Ladders....I'm sorry to admit this but I felt like that game would never end. There was never much "fun" after about the 10th ladder or the beloved chute sound effects - weeeeeh!........ Please share, I await your faves! 1 comments from 1 users

We're BIG game players in our family and always have been. Both my husband and I were raised in game playing homes and it's something we do a lot of with our son. Playing cards and board games is WONDERFUL for smaller children and those with special needs. It helps develop their hand-eye coordination, pincer grasp and other imporant occupational goals. Of course, it also is great for social skills (as you already said.) Taking turns, gracious winning AND losing. We also like stranger games like:
