In the colder months, when we are less likely to linger at bus stops or perhaps the mailbox, it can be hard to stay in touch with your neighbors. Rekindle connections by bringing everyone in out from the cold having a game night.
Recommendations for a Community Game Night
Here are a few suggestions for hosting an evening of fun.
1. Try something new
Ask your neighbors to bring over their preferred games. It may help you expand your horizons beyond Monopoly and Clue, and offer variety for your guests throughout the night.
2. Gather the pieces
Verify that your games have all of the pieces before your invited guests arrive, and that extra paper, pens, die and everything else games may call for are handy.
3. Serve comfort food
Cooking up chili is an easy way to feed a substantial group of people and get cozy on a cold winter’s night. Create your favorite recipe – and invite neighbors to bring over something of their own.
4. Award the winners
Have a prize or two available to the winners of each and every game. Consider blue ribbons or trophies, or perhaps an inexpensive game from the dollar section of the store.
5. Go beyond the board
Several great games aren’t played with a board. Take a look at Tenzi, played with dice, or purchase a new specialty card game. For $1.99 on iTunes, you are able to download Heads Up, a guessing game from Ellen Degeneres played by holding your phone to your forehead.
In the classic “Game of Life,” your decision to purchase a house is determined by a spinner. In Real Life, it is a bit more complex than that.
