Can you recommend me some family games for ages 8-80?

yes.... sit in a circle. 1 person leaves the room. Pick a leader. That leader will do various actions everyone will copy like hitting hands on lap, everyone will copy the leader. The leader changes the actions subtly as the person who left the room has to guess who the leader is.

Yahtzee. We play this everytime my in-laws visit. You have 5 dice, each person has 3 rolls per turn the aim of the game is to get as many matching dice as possible the mark them on your game sheet. For example if on your fursg your you get 3 threes, a two and five, take outbthe threes a roll the other two dice again hoping to get another or two other threes. Here a pic of the game sheet you can get them in game shops or amazon.

We're having fun with Bomb Busters at the moment, seems best with 4-5 players.

We have a game called Coyote. It's brilliant! It's a set of cards which have actions on, and you go round the circle of people doing the actions. That's a rubbish description, but the game is honestly a lot of fun and good for people of all ages.
