Ditch the gadgets for a while and play old-school but with modern table top games!
Without hiding behind any screens, players actually can talk and negotiate with each other. Sure there’s a good amount of taunting but within limits because others are in arms reach in case you step over the line, iykwim!
Over the years of being around the table with my children, as competitive as they are, they know when to hold back and make sure everyone’s having fun. It’s all about the joy of being together, making jokes and having fun. Winning is great but not the main objective.
For sure, the elder brothers are in their teens and they play on the computer or mobile phones with their friends – but they do ask, “Are we playing anything later?” every now and then. The young ones have their screen time too but they also look forward to family game afternoons/nights.
