Jenga with a Fun Twist!: This Jenga hack is super simple to do and adds lots of laughs to your traditional Jenga game!

DIY Giant Yahtzee via The Pinning Mama: Love Yahtzee? Why not go big! This an oversized, outdoor Yahtzee is great for those of us living in warmer climates.

 

Flashlight Tag  (not shown): It’s #3 on our best family camping games list for a reason! This one’s loads of fun once the sun goes down!

Balloon Tennis via Little Bins for Little Hands: Love that this fun and active family game can be played inside.

New Year’s Family Conversation Starters: Add these printable memory sparking conversation cards to a bowl. Pass the bowl around and have each person choose a card to answer.

DIY Giant Scrabble from Constantly Lovestruck: How cool would a giant game of Scrabble be?! Play in teams for added family fun.

Giant Pick Up Sticks via I Heart Naptime: Be careful not to move the other sticks!

Spoons via Coffee Cups & Crayons: I have so many fun family memories of playing Spoons as a child. If you’ve never tried it, you just have to check it out!

Plastic Plate Checkers on a Giant Checker Board from Crayola: I suggest using tape on the floor (in the place of chalk) for a fun, indoor version.

Bonus game! Charades: The one game guaranteed to have family and friends laughing out loud! Check out our free, printable game cards – we’ve got New Year’s Charades for Families,  Kids TV Show Charades Cards, Cartoon Characters Charades Game Cards and Family Movie Charades Cards.
