Family Board Games

It’s important that families get together and have fun in a medium that doesn’t involve a television screen. When families interact with each other, their bond together grows, and it’s been shown that kids who are close to their parents will also listen to their parents when it comes to making difficult decisions that all kids will have to make at some point or another. Parents who share a close bond with their children can communicate to them about drugs, sex, and other issues that will face them later in life. In addition, sharing time together as a family is a whole lot of fun, and there’s no downside to feeling close with family.

Plan a family game night together, and be sure to grab a couple family board games. This is one of the best ways for parents to interact with their children, talk about their lives, and also ensure both kids and parents trust each other. Kids who have strong bonds with their parents are more likely to listen to their parents when necessary.

Discover Lexogon and Lexogon One — the word games where everyone plays all the time and you think about words in a great new way.

The challenge – find a word that uses the clue letters in order – but arranged in the special way required by your color category, (maybe all clue letters together, maybe the first letter first and the last letter last, or one of the other variations.)

Roll the die, move to your square, get a clue that matches the square’s color, find a word that fits the color’s Category Rule in the time allowed and you’re on your way. Be the first to find words for all the categories and you’ve won.

You move around the board finding words. There’s risk, luck and strategy involved: you can be challenged, you can lose a turn or credit for a category,
you can send someone back to start, you can “zap” or be “zapped” by another player – it all depends on the roll of the die, the cards and your way with words.

Lexogon™ and Lexogon One™ stretch your brain, memory, and mettle. They make you think, laugh and want to play again.

When it comes to educating kids about the importance of being a Christian, it can be difficult to reach children on a level similar to their level of understanding. The Bible is the kind of book into which infinite interpretation and importance can be drawn from, but children can’t grasp those difficult concepts. Thus, instead of making an attempt to introduce kids to concepts well over their head, start their education with a few simple and fun introductions to The Bible.

One great way to educate kids about The Bible is to play bible board games together. Most bible board games are centered around fun, but while having fun, kids will also learn about biblical events. Because kids start to understand these biblical events and context, their appreciation for the Christian faith will grow. It’s important that kids understand and learn to appreciate their faith while children, as this will translate into a future interest and passion for the pursuit of faith and God’s teachings.
