G is for…
Games!
This one is Carcassonne.
Our family enjoys playing board/card games together. Candy Land, Settlers of Catan, Uno, Blink, Clue and Right, Left, Center are some of our favorites, along with Carcassonne. We just started playing Apples to Apples, too. We found a Disney edition for our RV trip and we all had fun with it. Oh, Disney Scene It, too. Pumpkin Girl and I are almost unbeatable on a team together with Disney Scene It.
We try make sure we play games for Bip’s age level as often as we play games for older children. He loves the Pooh Bear Uno game our Aunt Peggy gave him! When we play games that are a bit too old for him, we let him be on a “team” with someone else, usually a parent. That way he gets to play with the family and he’s also learning to play the game in question, too.
What are the games that your family enjoys?

We love board games. We play Memory (until the baby starts chewing on the cards) and Dominoes quite a bit.
Kate – I forgot dominoes! We like those, too. Phil and I like Tri-Ominoes, but there is math involved, so the kids aren’t too into it.
I didn’t know you all played Settlers of Catan…..
John- We’ve been playing Catan for about a year. It’s slow going since we don’t know all the rules yet, so we don’t play that often (though we do enjoy it), and so we don’t get a chance to learn the rules, so it’s slow going…
We used to play board games a lot, but my son got so ugly if he didn’t win, it just wasn’t fun any more.
