Get Your Family Game On with Classic Games from Hasbro Gaming
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hasbro Gaming.
We love playing games in our household. We have lots of board games and card games that we play on a regular basis. We are constantly searching for games that we can play together and that everyone will enjoy. We recently re-discovered some of classic games from Hasbro and enjoyed a family game night with several of the games!
TIPS FOR A FABULOUS FAMILY GAME NIGHT
Family Game Night – How do you make family game night fun and special in your home? Could have a nostalgic feel, playing the board games of parent's youth, Monopoly, Connect 4, Life.
1. Set the stage.
We dim the lights, make certain that pillows are readily available and get everyone into their favorite spots. We also make certain that is a little colder than normal because we all get excited when we play which makes everyone a little overheated.
2. Plan great snacks.
I also plan for great snacks whenever we play together.
3. Enforce the rules.
We don't have a lot of rules when it comes to game playing in our family. However, we do not allow sore losers or sore winners. No bragging and no crying. Also everyone has to finish the game. There is no quitting and no walking. We established these rules when we first started playing and have never had any issues.
4. Decide on teams.
We pick teams before we even set down to play. I make certain to alternate so that everyone gets a chance to play with each parent and each sibling.
5. Get great games.
Picking great games is the key to a successful family night. Games have to be fun, winnable by everyone and visually appealing so that they hold interest. Our favorite games are Jenga, Twister, Connect 4, Life and Monopoly.
You can now gear up for the holiday season and bring generations together with the classic games from Hasbro Gaming. These games represent a bit of nostalgia for me but also excitement as we share them and play them with our kids. Everyone including the grandparents get involved and we create some amazing memories.
It's definitely time to “Get Your Family Game On”. What are you waiting for?

WATCH MY SON'S SPECTACULAR JENGA FAIL IN SLOW MOTION
My son lost at Jenga big time. However, the best part was his face as the pieces fell and the sound that the blocks made when falling. It sounds like a bowling alley. I tried to cut off most of my daughter's victory scream at the end of the video.

Jenga is a lot of fun! We play that a lot on family game night.
Family game night is the best! We actually have all of these games. Monopoly sees the most action.
Wow your son is great! We love classic games and we can also expend more time together. Our favorite ones are Jenga, Twister as well 😀
We try to do family game night once a week. The classic games are my favorite to play with my son. All of these are great suggestions.
I love these ideas! Hasbro really does have some classics. We’re having a game night tonight!
We’ve not done a true family game night at home. My youngest is just getting to an age where she can enjoy this.
I love game nights. I remember the first year Jenga came out. I still have my original game. If it could talk I am sure if would have a few stories to share.
I love game night!! Especially when it involves Jenga!!
Having a family game night is such a great way to spend quality time together. My husband and I love to play scrabble!
We loved playing Jenga when my kids were still young. I think I will get a set and try to play it again with my kids now that they are all grown. It will be so much fun!
We got Jenga and twister and it is so much fun to play with the kids! Its amazing how time flies when you have fun playing with the kiddos.
I love JENGA! it is such a fun game for the whole family. I really like that you enforce the rule that there are no sore winners or losers. I think it’s really important to teach kids how to be gracious in their wins and losses.
I’ve been wanting to get that JENGA game for us. I’ve seen it played on TV and it looks so fun.
We love Hasbro Games in our home! There are so many fun games to play! Not to mention these make great gifts for the holidays!
We love to play Monopoly with the kids. I am excited to get the new Star Wars version for Christmas.
I love Hasbro games! We own a lot of their games. My daughters love to play games. It’s always a lot of fun to have a family game night.
Jenga will always be a classic game for me! I even found a way to remix it over the years by writing dares on some of the blocks!
Hasbro makes the best games! I swear I own them all. Nothing better than a good ole family game night!
Definitely love playing games with the family. The day after Christmas we normally get together and play.
We love and own so many Hasbro games. So fun having game nights.
What a coincidence, I got my son a bunch of classic games for Christmas like Chutes and Ladders and Candy Land. Always good to have on hand!
We try to do family game night once a week. The classic games are my favorite to play with my son. Love all the games on your list!
Wonderful tips for an enjoyable family game night! My family and I’ve always enjoyed classic games like Scrabble, Clue, and Monopoly.
