“Gaming together is a great way to spend time with kids of any age. It lets you step into their world and do something that they enjoy.” – Pixelkin
Working Gaming Time into Family Time Can Bring Families Closer
The idea of a family game night has been around for a long time. But this tradition doesn’t need to be restricted to board games. Video games have evolved to include some great games for families to play together. With 97 percent of kids in the U.S. playing video games, family game night is changing to incorporate family-friendly video games in the mix.
If you’re worried, don’t be. Lots of modern games don’t require a controller with a gazillion buttons. Many family games only require you to press a couple of buttons. Some don’t even require a controller at all. This new wave of motion gaming has some of the best family games available. They provide a great new twist on family game night that gives you the ability to connect with your kids.
