Of all the board games, my favorite is scrabble. I used to play this when I was still in college together with my co-student assistants assigned at the Father's Quarter of the school. Even the priests played with us sometimes.
My son designated Saturday as our game night. He said that it would be fun to watch a movie while we are playing a board game. We ended up just playing a board game and not turning on the TV because it would just be a distraction.
I love scrabble because it makes you think and strategize. Both of my kids are very competitive so it makes them think and improved their vocabulary. This is the first time, my husband joined us playing scrabble so he couldn't quite get the rules yet.
When we got done, the dogs are seeking attention too so they were excited to play along.
Having a game night is such a great idea so kudos to EJ for thinking it.
This is one of those things that we added in our routine this year. Aside from that, we also read the Bible every night before we go to bed. We are trying to strengthen our faith by understanding what is written in the Bible.
Hubby and I realized how time flies by so fast so we would love to spend time with the kids as much as we can. Soon they will have to start branching out and finding their own path but for now, we want to enjoy their company.
I helped my son play but my daughter is so independent that she refused to help. At the end though, I helped her strategize in placing some of her tiles which ended up her winning. I love the fact that not only they are learning the game but they are also learning things like accepting help from someone from time to time.
Fun! We do lots of game nights at our house, too! They are always a blast.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of friends that like Scrabble. I think they like it because they can really kick my butt out of. I love almost every game Scrabble still working on that one.

ReplyDeleteHaving a regular game night at home is fun. Much more if the game is truly educational.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun night with the kids. My brother and my hubby was love playing Scrables.
ReplyDeleteI'm a scrabble fan, myself!! I'll be introducing the game to my kids when they reach the right age!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to go dust off that stack of board games that has been hiding under the bed for longer than I care to remember and have a games night.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Your family is so cute! You guys look like you're having a blast playing games together!
ReplyDeleteplaying scrabble is a good family bonding moment..aside from having fun, it is educational as well..
ReplyDeleteI love when we have family game night. It's always so much fun for everyone.
ReplyDeleteWe used to play scrabble too when the kids were young. I agree, it does help them increase their vocabulary and learn strategy. Now that they are grown, me and my hubby play online scrabble once in a while. I also love that you as a family make time to read the Bible.
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute. That a cool way to bonding with your fam.
ReplyDeleteScrabble is awesome! I can't wait until my little guys are old enough to play. My four year old just learned how to play UNO and Dominoes, so we're sticking with those two for now :)
ReplyDeleteWe like Scrabble. I haven't played it in years though!
ReplyDeletelooks like fun! i love board games too! but for now we're enjoying huge puzzles we got the day haha
