What fun family games can we play?

[OneBlueOneGreen]

Without having to go out and buy board games?

:)

What age groups are you? You could do a pub quiz type of thing with a nice box of chocs for the prize?
Pictionary?
The one where you write a celeb on a bit of paper and you stick it to your forehead and everyone else has to help you guess?

The 'write a line of a story, fold it over and pass it on' game. I used to love that when I was little.

Pictionary? My god, the kids chalkboard easel thing has really come into its own this week. Add alcohol if group includes adults.

You can play what is essentially Articulate by using an online random word generator.

Body part Twister works with some coloured stickers (apply to body parts, and to some dice to roll for who puts what where)

Tippett
Charades
Just about any card game
Consequences
Animal, vegetable, mineral
Fizz buzz
I spy
I went to market

That enough??

Oh, and Dibbles is a hoot too

What are tippett and dibbles?

She range is 7 to 13 for kids. And a few adults :)

Tippett is where you split into two teams and someone in one team hides something in one hand. The other team has three goes to find out which hand. You say "Tippett" as you tap the hand.
Kept our DCs amused for ages at about that age - it's a great game to keep them quiet in restaurants.

Dibble - Everyone gets a number.
Ibble-Dibble 1
Ibble Dibble 2
And so on

You have to "call" each other very quickly "Ibble Dibble 1 calling Ibble Dibble 3, "Ibble Dibble 3 calling Ibble Dibble 2" And so on.

If someone hesitated they get a Dibble - a mark on their forehead. So then you become "Ibble Dibble 2 with 1 Dibble".

As people make mistakes they get more Dibbles - "Ibble Dibble 3 with 4 Dibbles calling Ibble Dibble 1 with 2 Dibbles" and so on.

Hilarious.

Do you know games like
Pass the scissors crossed and uncrossed
Black Magic
Umpty Dumpty Dum?

What's my line - can be very funny if you pick bizarre occupations.

When I was a child I used to love doing a treasure hunt - the sort with cryptic clues to where the next item could be found. I wasn't bothered if there was no actual treasure at the end of it either .
