…Need new ideas for family game night? You’ll love “The Bowl Game”…a family favorite that’s quick to learn, easy to adapt for all ages, and quite possibly ridiculous!
I love games. Growing up, we spent many hours playing games of Clue, Guesstures, Trivial Pursuit, and Life. In fact, as the youngest child, whenever I couldn’t find one of my older siblings to play a game with me, I would “practice” the games by playing with myself.
One of my favorite games, however, is one that didn’t come from a store. It was a simple game that required only some pencils, paper, a bowl, and a slightly dramatic and quirky family to make it work.

Lately, I can’t seem to decide whether to be shocked that it’s already December or thrilled that 2020 is almost over.
Either way, Christmas is coming, and that means my kids are acting out “Santa Claus comes down the chimney” in their bedroom each night (which means they take turns putting on a Santa hat and squirming down through the space between their bunk bed and the wall to bring “gifts” to each other…I have no idea where they come up with these ideas).
