Dinner table games for the whole family
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.
Dinner is when the family sits together, yet "How was school?" only gets a "fine"? These games work right at the table: talk, guess and laugh, nobody has to stand up and nobody needs paper. Choose the number of players, the youngest age and the time above to get a ready-made session.
🍽️ Tip: play while the food is on its way or after the plates are cleared. Put the phone in the middle of the table and turn on "Read aloud" so nobody holds it for long. Talking games like Would You Rather and Two Truths and a Lie tell parents a lot about their kids.
