Family Board Games

The Bible is surely the greatest moral teaching aid of all. Its myriad lessons and extended parables are still applicable in our lives today. Many Christians turn to the Bible in times of doubt in order to reaffirm their faith. It’s crucial that children are exposed to the world of the Lord at an early age.

Still, biblical language can seem esoteric and abstract to young children. Children’s bibles and other supplemental materials are helpful, but some kids learn through action rather than by reading words on a page. Bible action figures and play sets bring the worlds of the Old and New Testaments alive in a context that makes sense to kids. They can reenact their favorite bible stories and have fun as they learn more about their Christian faith.

The Inklings Board Game is an exciting and unique question and answer game that requires strategy to win! Just flip the spinner and watch the fun begin! If you spin a 1 or 4 you may try to answer the question or sell the question to an opponent. Spin a 2 or 5 and draw a card that gives you special benefits! Spin a 3 and go head-to-head with one of your opponents in answering the question. Spin a 6 and get in a bidding war with one of your opponents to see who is asked the question first! The game contains more than 280 questions. Some sample questions are “Who am I” and What am I”? Each question has six clues. The more clues you ask for, the easier the clues get. But remember, the more clues you ask for, the less points you can win. The first player or team to 55 points wins the game! Don’t know the Bible that well? No problem! The six clues get progressively easier until you get to the sixth question which is multiple choice! Inklings can be played with individuals, or in groups! Inklings is great to play with friends, family, and church groups.

Sometimes, a rainy day turns out to be a blessing in disguise. During the summer months, it means kids miss out on a day at the beach or a run through the backyard sprinkler. But don’t forget that an afternoon spent indoors with the family is never a bad thing – it’s a priceless bonding experience. A child’s natural inclination will be to turn on the television and vegetate for a few hours. As a parent, you can curtail that bad habit by bringing out a good, old-fashioned board game.

It’s easy to forget about those classic board games that are gathering dust in the utility closet. A few minutes of game play will remind you of these games’ addictive nature. Just try playing a game of Scrabble without someone calling for an immediate rematch. Yahtzee is just as engrossing, and the kids will learn to appreciate the extra time they spent in close commune with their family.

 Time to change the way we play games.   I grew up taking your money in Monopoly or Destroying  your opponents troops in Risk.  Since created in 1991 one of the most popular Christian board games is Bibleopoly. Bibleopoly promotes the act of cooperation that children should learn early in life. It’s a great game for the whole family. This game takes about a hour to play, 2 to 6 players  ages 8 and up.

This game is patterned after monopoly with collecting all of one color group and enjoying the fun of a property trading game while learning about the remarkable cities of the Bible! Start “In the Beginning”  BUT the great twist is you can only win by cooperation and helping out your opponents with good deeds or service.  The object of the game is to be the first player in a bible city to build your church.

Fluxx card game starts out as just the average card game. Placing  the Basic Rules card in the center of the table. Drawing one card and discarding one at a time. Then the game can change quickly with different cards being played, changing the goals and the rules. 

This game is for 2 to 6 players from age 8 and up. Fluxx has many different version, and additional card sets that can be purchased to add to the game.

Game two is a Rancher’s Roundup, with this adventure you will change your points of view.  You are ranchers, and your prized horses have just broken free.  You all agree on a friendly contest to see who can round up horses by brand and make it to Green River Valley first.

By playing game two this help children to see the life of a rancher. which is a different look at it then game one. Learning is part of  educational games.

Game one is  Mustang Adventure, where you and your friends play mustangs that have just escaped from a ranch.  To survive in the wild, you must gather a herd of mares and foals.  Watch out for predators, drought,
human mustangs, and other hazards. This is a really fun and one of  the top educational board games that children like to play.
