Bunco is a really fun game that requires no strategy, very little knowledge of game playing, and a lot of luck. Playing Bunco with a crowd is such fun! It’s a fast paced game that require absolutely no strategy, so every one has the same odds of winning as everyone else. This makes it a great game for a mixed crowd, as a 10 year old has the same odds of winning as a 50 year old. Materials needed: 1 table for every 4 players 3 dice per table 1 bell or other noisemaker Bunco cards for all players (download

Celebrate Easter with this fun & free Printable Easter Bingo game! Perfect for Sunday School, parties, or just at home with your children. My mom made an Easter bingo game for my children several years ago and they LOVED it. They begged to play it everyday for weeks leading up to Easter and even after Easter was over. We misplaced that Bingo game in the move from Texas and I’ve been thinking of making a new one for the last few years. When I was making my Taste the Madness Bingo for March Madness, I was reminded of how much

This post is part of the I Love Games Series. Be sure to check out the rest of the series. A little while ago, I made the mistake of letting my children play with our set of dominoes. They wanted to stack them, knock them down, etc. Unfortunately, they misplaced a lot of them. So now we have a little bit more than a half set of double 12 dominoes. We are still looking for the missing dominoes but I didn’t just want to toss the remaining dominoes. I came up with this game which works great with a

I love games!! My kids love games! We all love games! (Well they aren’t my husband favorite thing but he still plays with us occasionally.)

In the I Love Games Series, you will rediscover classic games, find new games to play, and see collections of the best games. You will not only get games from me, but you will also find all the games Jamie shares here as well. All games will be categorized

I Love Games: Golf {Card Game}

I love games. I always have. I even make up games to help the kids clean. I wasn’t the greatest sport as a kid but that didn’t change the fact that I loved games. My best friend growing up wasn’t a great sport either but that didn’t seem to bother either of us and we just shrugged off the card throwing at the end of the game. (Poor Jamie, who was friends with both of us!) When I was in Idaho, that friend came down for a night to visit. We ended up playing games (we taught her to play trash).

This post is part of our July Top 5! Check out the rest of the best here. {No Pool Required} The very first day after school was out, the kids want to have a water play day. I have decided to forgo the pool this summer, since I have a 2 year old that has learned to open the back door. (Ack! Got to keep my eye on that one!) So I asked our Facebook friends for ideas, used some from my own experience and found some on Pinterest. After that first water day and a few others along the way, we were

I have a lot of things to share with you but they don’t really make a whole blog post on their own so I thought I would put them all together. Monkey Cupcakes: Two days after Jamie’s Little Man’s birthday is my youngest’s birthday. (Read about Little Man’s bday here). My Jet was also turning two, (yep that makes them two days apart!). I have been calling Jet “Monkey” for months now, not really sure why but I used it once and it just stuck. So when I came across these monkey cupcakes on Pinterest, I knew I had to make them and they

* This post in part of May Top 5. Check out the rest. * This may seem like a really silly idea, and I admit that I was skeptical when my sister told me to try this, but the kids actually love it! “Magic” paint is simple to put together, super cheap, and yet it somehow occupies kids for quite some time (my kids played for almost 2 hours with the magic paint!). What you need: Water and small containers to put it in Cheap paint brushes Yep, that’s it. There is actually no paint involved, just water. The “paint”

Find out my 5 Favorite Clean Up Games! Getting your kids to help clean up can be fun! Tried and true “games” that get kids cleaning! We have 4 kids. So we clean up all the time! No, I’m not one of those moms who can’t stand to have toys about but I do like to straighten up before lunch, Daddy gets home, and bed. We made the chore chart to encourage clean up before bed but that still leaves several other times a day to pick up stuff. And just like Mary Poppins, I think it’s so much easier to

* This post is part of our March Top 5. Check out the other top posts here.* I won’t lie: gardening with kids is a lot more work than just doing it yourself. However, including them in the process is a great way to get kids who don’t typically like veggies to give them a try. There’s something so exciting about having grown the plants themselves. And getting to go outside and pick food? That’s pretty cool, too! Last year, I let Miss Magoo plant and grow some basil in the kitchen window. She loved it! When people would come
