We played this Christmas Day with some of the family and had a great time.
For my in-laws, I stole an idea my sis-in-law has done for my parents the past two years and made a grandkids book through mypublisher.com. I put it together with a page of pictures and a page of questions/answers for each of their grandkids. It wasn't finished in time to be delivered before Christmas, but it arrived a couple days ago, we gave it to them today, and it was a hit.
For the Kids - This year my focus was all about not buying crap. Things that the kids would be bored of playing with three days after Christmas, or that would just be more "stuff" hanging around to deal with and store. I did a lot of online shopping (yay amazon) and found things that I feel fit each of them and would help strengthen their creativity and talents. They were all happy with their gifts, so I guess it worked.
Family Games - We got some great new family games for Christmas this year. By far the favorite is Blokus. We've also played Banangrams several times, tried out Baffle Gab last night during our New Year's Eve fun, and still have a couple others to try out (Hyper Dash and Perquackey).
My late New Year's Eve is quickly catching up with me so I'm going to end this and try to finish up my next post.
I totally love the game idea. Printing out instructions now.
ReplyDeleteYes, start now so you don't have to work on it for 3 days straight right before Christmas. :) I edited the instructions a bit too since I changed the game a bit. I'm happy to send out files of that and the questions. Also, if you click on the pictures they'll both come up bigger.
ReplyDeleteOh you would share your files? I am so on board. I'm thinking of not waiting for Christmas...My Dad's bday is coming up soon.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow, these are some good ideas!! Thanks.
