DOVE FAMILY

As I mentioned in a previous blog, our kids are tech monsters. From video games, handheld games, tablets, computers, phones and more. Even though they love using technology and its part of our every day lives, one of the things we just LOVE to do is have family game night. We have been doing this for some time now and the kids just enjoy this time. We usually do this on a Friday night when we are not rushed to do homework, bath time, read, or pack lunches.
We let the kids take out all their board games- things from Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Ants in the Pants, Don't Break the Ice, Zing Bingo, Hungry Hippos, Hot Potato, Operation and Perfection and Air Hockey. You name it- we play it!

Matthew's favorites are Zingo Bingo (he always wins at this game), Don't Break the Ice and Hot Potato.
Julia's favorites are Candy Land (she always wins at this game), Hungry Hippos, Zingo Bingo and Elefun.

We have a blast playing these games. Some of them only last a minute or two, but then we break out another game and play again!

My only complaint is I never win- seriously. I don't try to lose so the kids or Dave can win. I actually TRY to win and TRY to play. I just always end up losing.....
