The holidays are filled with joy, food, and... a little chaos. Between the wrapping paper explosions, loud uncles, and sugar-fueled kids running around, it’s easy for things to feel more hectic than heartwarming. But if you’re looking for a simple, screen-free way to turn the noise into connection, we’ve got you covered.
Here are three fun, easy-to-play games that help bring the family closer—one laugh, challenge, or silly moment at a time.
1. The Card Game That Gets Everyone Talking (and Laughing)
Perfect for: Ages 10+, family game night, bonding time
