1. Steve Harvey’s Family Feud

Parents vs. Kids. The question is posed, “Name things every parent says to their kid?” A player from each team races to hit the red button, but they both get it wrong.

2. Uno

Everyone is dealt seven cards with their game faces on. During the first round, all players keep quiet. The second round gets intense. The one determined to win tries to figure out what’s in the opponent’s hand.

3. Charades

In this guessing game, players must act out what is on the card without talking. There is always someone who purposely cheats and someone who thinks he or she knows all the answers, but doesn’t.

4. Monopoly

During the popular family game Monopoly, players go around the board buying businesses, losing businesses and being thrown into jail. Two hours in and everyone owes Dad money, but an hour later his reaction is priceless.

5. Connect 4

She’s black; he’s red. Each opponent’s eyes are wide open as they try to figure out their next move. She drops one and he blocks her move. He thinks he has her cornered, but she drops her last token and “CONNECT FOUR!”

6. Black Card Revoked

The family’s over and sitting in the kitchen. The cards are out and everyone is ready. The trash-talking is already beginning. The question is posed, “What’s the best music movie of all time?” Everyone looks at their cards with five seconds to answer. They place their cards down and only one person gets it right.
