January 30, 2016 By Michelle Barneck 3 Comments

Valentines Day is such a fun day for kiddos, but can be not so fun for parents dealing with them hopped up on sugar or for those kiddos who might have food allergies.

15 Fun Family Reunion Games

June 12, 2014 By Michelle Barneck 10 Comments

Summer is here, tis the season for family reunions. Planning one can be difficult so let us ease your anxiety with a few fun and creative activity ideas. We love playing games and what better way to bond and get to know family. We’ve rounded up our fifteen favorite family reunion games including some for the family history buff, the spunky kids and the strategist. Take a look over our list and let us know what you think.

Get to Know Your Family Games

We’d Like to Welcome

A great icebreaker. Stand if you fit the description read aloud (ie. loves to cook, has been to Disneyland, can play the piano, etc)

Did You Know

People write down interesting facts about themselves and you guess who it is.

Family History Photo Swap

Have people bring pictures of family members, homes, etc and let people guess who/what they are.

Family Face Bingo

A twist on a classic that comes with a template to add in pictures of your family members.

Who am I?

Everyone gets a sticky with a name and people have to answer questions (Are I taller than you? Do I have kids?) to help them guess who it is.

Active/Outdoor Family Reunion Games

Frisbee Golf with Free Printable

A snap to put together with a few laundry baskets and frisbees.

Human Foosball

I’m pretty sure this would be a complete crack up.

Water Balloon Toss

The classic. I remember doing this since I was young.

Rainbow Tag

The basic gist…hide colored popsicle sticks with a face paint crayon. Players find the sticks and mark their faces with that color. First one to find all the colors wins.

Frisbee Dodge

Like dodge ball, but with frisbees.

Shoe Pile Scramble

Another one I remember from my youth. Put all the shoes in a pile and run to find and put yours on first.

Frisbee Tic Tac Toe

Painters tape and a dollar store shower curtain. Done.

Teamwork Family Reunion Games

Roll Out the Marble

A fun relay to see who can get their marble from here to there first.

Spaghetti Structures

See who can build the tallest structure with spaghetti and marshmallows.

Pulling Together

Work together to make the tallest stack.

Did your favorite make the list? Do you have a classic game that has spanned the years of family reunions?
