Family games

It won't do to be bored.

 So we played lots of games - like "Nerf Wars"

Another game was the "Whisper game" - while one person wore head phones playing LOUD Christmas music, the other person was given a phrase to whisper.  The one with the head phones had to try to lip read and guess what the other person was saying.

 :"Kiss me under the mistletoe, baby!"

The game that was the biggest hit was "Murder in the Dark"!  We turned off all the lights in the house except for some night lights.  Claire picked the person who would be the "it" who would search out his victims in the dark.  If he sliced your throat, you had to "die".  Once another person came across the dead person(s), he would yell "murder in the dark!"  Lights would be turned on and accusations would fly to try to figure out who the real murderer was.

The murderer can drag his victims to an out of the way place to make it harder for the others to find them.  In fact, one time, Jill was able to kill everyone before anyone was found!  So no one yelled "murder in the dark!"  She won!

This game was called Taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza.  Here we are acting out being a unicorn.

 A table game called "The Mind" was pretty fun.

 This next game is hilarious.  Doesn't have a name, that we know.  Sophia found it on Pinterest.  You stand in a circle and everyone looks down.

You decide while you are looking down who you will look up at.  On the count of 3, everyone looks up.  

If you happen to be staring at the same person, you both are out of the game.  It continues until all but 1 or 2 are out, depending on if you start with an even number of people or odd number.

Such fun times!!
