Spending time together as a family in today's fast-paced world is quite invaluable. With all the technology at our fingertips and the amount of entertainment there is easy access to, getting the family together to do something old-school can be a chore. However, these card games for families are guaranteed to be fun and have the kids begging for more family time.
Try Go Fish, which is a really popular game from back in the day that everyone can enjoy no matter what age they are. You can play with 3,4, 5 or 6 players. If there are only 4 players or less, then everyone should get seven cards each. For more than 4 players, everyone should get 5 cards.
Once the cards are dealt, the rest of the deck is put in the center in a pile called the 'pond'. Throughout the game, players may have to draw from this pile to help their individual hands. The winner is the one who collects the most sets of 4 cards. Every play gets to ask someone else in the game for a particular card they need to complete a set. If the other player doesn't have it, they tell the person asking to 'Go Fish', and that person then picks up one from the pile.
Here's one you might remember: Concentration. Perhaps you know it as Pairs or even Memory - it has a number of names but the game is the same. Place each card facing downwards in a random order. Let each person try and match two cards at a time to make a pair.
If the cards don't match, they are returned face down and it's the next player's turn. If they do match, the player gets to keep the pair of cards and have another turn. The player with the most pairs at the end of the game wins.
A game for a much bigger group of people is UNO. There are lots of cards in this special deck, which isn't like a regular pack. The UNO deck features cards with different numbers, colors and symbols which allow for different game strategies. Everyone gets 7 cards and the remainder are put in a pile, with a starter card facing up to begin the game.
The first player puts one of the cards from his or her hand on top of the starter card to correspond with its color or its number. Then it's the next player's turn. If someone does not have anything to place down, they can take something from the pile. Alternatively, they can use of the cards with a special symbol to change the flow of the game, or even change the color that is currently playing. The game gets easier after a few tries and it is also a game of strategy in order to win.
These are just a few games that a family can try to connect outside of watching TV or playing video games. They are good games to teach kids, and can be used on long journeys in the car or on a plane to kill some time. It's also a great way to bond with the rest of the family.
