From the weekend weather forecast, it may not be a great outdoor weekend. Check ahead before you head out to activities and events as some events will cancel due to weather. However, the weather's always right for a family board or card game blitz day. 

There are so many options...  choose your family's favorite or try something new. Some classic board games that everyone loves are Monopoly, Operation, Chutes and Ladders, Checkers, or Candyland. You could play card games like Spot It, or dice games like Yahtzee. My family's favorites are Rummikub, Settlers of Catan, Chess, and Mexican Train Dominos.   

Whether your kids are little or big, a family game day is always a fun way to spend time together!

What's your family's favorite board game?
