Games for big family gatherings
Step 1 of 3How many players?
Names (optional) Add names so turns are called by name
First names or nicknames, saved only on this phone. Pick a kid’s age so the youngest goes first and quiz cards fit each kid; tick “Adult” for grown-ups: they get harder words to act out and no kids-only topics.
The whole family is in one living room and the kids are glued to their screens? Pass one phone around and everyone plays: team charades, find the impostor, spot grandma’s lie. Choose the number of players, the youngest age and the time, and you get a 10–30 minute plan.
🧧 Tip: mix each team with grown-ups and kids; the youngest goes first. No prizes and no forfeits: the score belongs to the whole family.
