10 Family Friendly Games
Shorpy

Do you want a game night full of laughter? Parties that keep you interested? Good, clean fun for kids and adults? Well, you have come to the right place. Listed here are games for friends and family of all ages to enjoy.

1. Quelf


This crazy game gets everyone involved and quickly acquainted with one another. Your goal is to get to the end of the brick road, picking up the color coordinating cards as you go. Each card deck had a special set of instructions or question for the individual or the group to perform or answer. Endless giggles and smiles will ensue.

2. Princess, Rider, Pony

This game works best with a larger group of people in a larger space. Being able to hold another person it is extremely recommended. Each person will pair up with ONE other individual and become a team. One person will become the caller over the group of pairs/teams, making sure they are able to see all of the teams and be heard by the teams. The caller will then proceed to call out Princess, Rider, or Pony in any order at any speed. When the caller calls Princess, one person in the paired group should hold the other like a princess or bridal style. When the caller calls Rider, one person needs to give the other a piggy-back ride. When the caller calls Pony , one person needs to get on their hands and knees like a horse while the other sits on their back. The goal is to be the last pair standing. If you are too slow to get your position or fail to keep the position until the next one is called, you are out.

3. Pie Face

Pie Face is a game of chance. You spin the dial, giving you a number indicating how many time you turn the handles, all while your face is in a hole, the "pie" sitting threateningly beneath your chin. It is sure to make everyone laugh, no matter the age.

4. Telestrations

Telestrations is like the Telephone games but with drawing instead of talking. It can be confusing and funny with a small or large group.

5. Mafia

This card game is about strategy and secrets. Since this game can get pretty involved, here is a link explaining the rules (http://www.menconi.com/games/mafia.html ). There is also a specific card deck you can buy for this game.

6. Numbers

Numbers is a game of focus and concentration. It works best with a medium to large group of people. All should sit in a circle. One person is designated Number 1, counting off clockwise until each person is numbered. The goal is to get in the Number 1 spot. The Number 1 person calls out another number in the group. The person with the number he calls has to call out yet another number in the group. This goes around until someone either takes too long to say a number, another person answers to the wrong number, a number outside of the group is said, or someone says their own number. When any of those thigs happen, the person who messed up has to sit in the place of the last number, while those behind the person move up a seat/place. For example, if you have eight people, Number 1 could call 2, Number 2 could call 5, and Number 5 accidentally says 5. Number 5 needs to go to the place of Number 8, Numbers 6-8 then move up to become Numbers 5-7, the old Number 5 is now the new Number 8. It gets competitive, but it is satisfying when you finally make it to Number 1.

7. UNO

This card game is a crowd favorite. It is competitive, family friendly, and for all ages! (http://www.mattelgames.com/en-us/uno/index.html?ut... )

8. Apples to Apples Junior Edition

A younger and easier-to-understand version of Apples to Apples for a family to have clean and hilarious fun. (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/74/apples-appl... )

9. Snorta

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
