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.
One of the most classic games to play is Go Fish, which is fun for everyone involved. The best amount of players to have for this game is 3 to 6. For less than 4 players, each person should get 7 cards. Where there are more than 4 people playing, everyone should get 5 cards each.
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 pair picked does not match, they must be returned to their positions face down. The next player plays. If someone picks a matching pair of cards, they keep the pair and have another go. The one with the most pairs wins.
UNO is a very fun game for up to ten players. There are more than enough cards in this deck! UNO cards are unlike a regular deck of cards, as there are different signs as well as numbers and colors on each card. Each player is dealt seven cards and the rest are placed in the middle in a pile. One of the cards is turned over from the pile to start the game.
Each player has to place a corresponding number or color on top of the starting play. If the player has nothing to use, they can take from the pile and it is the next player's turn. A player can also use one of the symbol cards to switch up the order of play or to change the color of play. After a few rounds, this becomes easy to understand but also very strategic and makes for a lot of fun.
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.
