Is it just us or when you keep things out and not tucked away in closets you are more likely to use them? When we swapped our ottoman for a traditional coffee table I came across an oversized tray that I had purchased from the Plaid Pineapple and thought it would be perfect for creating a family game station.
Now, we have many more games that fit in this tray but we like swapping them out and trying new ones. Some of our favorites are:
- Dominos (we’ve been playing a lot of Chickenfoot)
- Uno
- Traditional playing cards
- Skipbo
- Puzzles
- Checkers
- Connect 4
- Guess Who
- Operation
- Pie Face
- Monopoly Jr
- Hedbanz
- Sequence
- Sequence for Kids
Our game station has been a great way for us to get down on the floor and play with the kids instead of watching them play. It’s also allowed for a lot of family time that doesn’t involve the TV. Hooray!
This is a very good idea! I love that these games encourage communication and family time away from electronics! Your coffee table is amazing, by the way! 🙂
