12 Amazing Games to Give for Christmas

Does your family enjoy old-fashioned board and card games?

I think Family Game Night is a wonderful tradition that should be brought back into play!

Here’s a list of classic games to play with your family this Christmas season!

Monopoly

My son, Jesse, asked for a new Monopoly game almost every single year of his childhood!

One year, I thought I would shake things up a little by getting him a different game.

It certainly shook him up!

He wanted to know exactly where his Monopoly game was!

Okay, Jesse, Monopoly it is.

Chess

Most of my children love the game of Chess.

I am not sure how many chess sets we have gone through over the years.

I have always implemented the power of suggestion in our home.

That means I bought a lot of chess sets and set them out where they could be easily accessed.

The little kids would run off with the chess pieces, and the boards would inevitably get broken.

I would just buy another set until everyone just fell in love with the game!

(I used this same technique with musical instruments, and I am here to tell you, the power of suggestion works!)

The family was thrilled when we all pitched in and bought this amazing chess set that came with actual knights in shining armor and horses!

Uno

Who doesn’t love a good game of Uno?!?

My family absolutely loves to play these good old-fashioned games that have stood the test of time.

Yahtzee

Our family absolutely loves to play Yahtzee!

Christmas just wouldn’t feel like Christmas at the Foote house without a big game of Yahtzee.

When my six sons were younger, I used to say I would only play Yahtzee with them because everything else turned into tackle football!

It is the perfect game for children of all ages.

Even your toddlers can roll the dice!

Checkers

Checkers is just one of those games that every generation seems to enjoy.

We always have a checker board setting on our game shelf.

I really like these checker rugs with huge checker pieces.

My grandchildren’s little chubby hands have no problem holding on to these game piece.

Sorry

The classic game of Sorry is fun for kids of all ages.

We always have Sorry on our game shelf.

Trouble

My family already loves to play the game of Trouble, but they would really love to play the Star Wars edition!

Is your family a fan of Star Wars?

Phase 10

My daughter, Jaimie, has always enjoyed playing the Phase 10 card game.

Skip-Bo

Skip-Bo is another one of those fast-paced card games that my family really enjoys.

Battleship

Remember having to do graphs in math class?

Battleship is basically graphs.

Don’t tell my children, but that is why I always made sure they had the Battleship game to play.

As a homeschooling mama, we sneak schoolwork into every area we can!

Candyland

My youngest daughter, Sarah, always asked for Candyland for Christmas.

Chutes and Ladders

Chutes and Ladders is another fun game to play with your children and grandchildren.
