Game Night !

Game Night is one of our favorite nights at our house.   I hope our kids remember how much fun we had.  
Right now our favorites are :

Hide and seek in the dark - the person that's it gets the flashlight and counts to 20 or 30.   We can only hide upstairs and once found you are supposed to go sit on the couch and not run around telling the seeker where everyone is help the seeker find anyone.   We pull names out of a hat to determine who goes first and  Nathan and Ryan are old enough to count and seek by themselves.   They don't always like to hide by themselves with makes it really hard for an already larger than life body to squeeze another person albeit smaller, into a space in which to hide and not be seen.

Colored Eggs - 1 person is it (the fox).   the rest (the eggs) pick a color.   The person (the fox) picks a color and if the color is chosen that person jumps up and runs around whatever was chosen to run around and if the fox catches the egg that person is out.   If not, the person picks a new color to be and the game continues.

Freeze dance - Music on, dance.  Music off, freeze.   We found out that the better the dancer....the easier it is to get them out. :)

Freeze tag -  1 person is it.   The rest of us run from one side of the room to the other without the person in the middle touching them.   If the person in the middle touches you, you are frozen.   Someone can un freeze you by touching you.  

Our latest game which seems to be a new house favorite is : 
Silly string fight- Everyone is armed with a can of silly string.   Everyone shoots the entire contents of silly string over anyone and it seemed anything.

I can't wait to play more games as they get older.    When they can be set free with a flashlight in the neighborhood. :)
