Do You Know Your Family Game

So what is this family trivia game? Do you know your family is a family-friendly game filled with questions and challenges. The family-friendly trivia questions require players to ask a question about themselves and their family to answer the questions. For added fun, there are challenge chards or action cards. The fun game cards are quick and easy so toddlers and grandparents are welcome to join in on the fun.

Let’s take a look at game trivia questions and family challenges that are a great fit for the entire family.

How Well Do You Know Your Family Questions

If you are familiar with family conversation starter questions, then you will understand how these family game cards work. Typically conversation cards for families require someone to answer in a way that is telling about oneself. However, for a fun twist, in this know your family? game, the fun questions are not introspective. Instead, they require a player to ask interesting questions and the rest of the family answers the questions in observance of the person asking the question.

Let’s look at a few family trivia card questions…

Question: Who is my favorite teacher?
Question: Which song do I know the most words to?
Question: If I could have a superpower, what would it be?

If a family member gets the right answer, they get to keep the card.

Mini Family Challenges

To step up the excitement, there are competitive challenges in this fun card game for families. This allows, in addition to questions, a little bit of friendly competition and action via fun challenges to do at home.

These fun challenges include supplies found in the home but if there is something you do not have, it can easily be replaced with something else so there is no need to buy more than the game itself.

Examples of family-friendly challenge cards include…

Action: Start at a table with chairs. At go, all players must get up and run around the house. The first player back to their chair wins the card.
Action: All players fold paper airplanes. The paper plane that flies the furthest gets to keep the card.
Action: See which player can stack the most coins in 30 seconds using only one hand. The winner takes the card.

In each of these frantic family fun competitions, the winner is the first person to finish and takes the card.

Do You Know Your Family Game Instructions

Now that you are ready to play, it’s important to know the instructions. The how well do you know your fam game instructions are rather simple. The game objective is to collect the most cards by the time the game is through.

To begin, download and print the do you really know me questions and actions. There is an editable page you can use to personalize your own questions and challenges. Once printed, you may choose to laminate your family game card set. This will help you reuse the set over and over. (However, if you don’t, save it to your computer to print as often as you would like.)

Cut your set of cards up to create a deck of cards. You may divide your conversation starter cards and action cards by card type or keep them as one complete set.

Start with the youngest player. Allow them to draw a card from the deck and ask a question or offer a family challenge. In challenges, the first to complete the challenge correctly gets the card. In game questions, the first to answer correctly gets to keep the card.

Make sure everyone has equal playing time. Go around the circle until you exhaust the deck or reach a time limit. At the end of the game, count your cards.

The player that has the most cards wins the game and REALLY KNOWS THEIR FAMILY!

You can twist up this game in various ways. Ideas for playing include…

Play kids vs parents – which set of family members will get the glory of the win?
Play vs the clock – create rapid-fire questions with each answer or challenge having a time limit.
Play in pairs – pair up players especially if younger players might need older kids or adults to help them.
Play in teams – this can be boys verse girls, age groups, generations, and more

Do You Know Your Family Printable

So why are the family challenge games your solution? Well if you’re tired of the same one-word answers from your child like “yes,” “no,” or “fine,” then these conversation cards might be your answer.

The printable family trivia game combines conversation starters and fun action challenges to create a memorable family game night. Tun family conversation starters into a game and use it as an opportunity to spark conversations with your child mixed with really silly challenges.

It’s the perfect game for the whole family and promises you’ll have a blast and laugh. It’s the easiest game to get to know your family. These cost you less than a Starbucks drink but they are priceless on the spectrum of amazing family memories created!

Not only that, but hands-on math games that allow kids to explore number concepts and combinations with manipulatives help them establish a deeper understanding of numbers and operations.

What are some Fun Math Games for Kids?

Kids’ games are just fun. Math games are a break in curriculum and instruction and allow kids to play without even realizing they learning. Often the hands-on math activity creates a deeper understanding of a math concept before transitioning to a new math unit.

A few fun math games to introduce into the classroom or even a family game night include…

These games are fun, but did you know you can make your own homemade math games? Additionally, online math games are fun, they add additional screen time which is not always desirable in the classroom. Let’s get the kids off an electronic device and back into hands-on learning with printable mathematics board games and puzzles.

A quick game is great for kinetic and visual learners in any grade level. If you want to motivate your young learner, try one of the free math games below.

Take a look at these super fun DIY Math Games for Kids – preschool or middle school. Let the fun begin.

Preschool parents definitely know who Pete the Cat is. This fun math game is based on his Four Groovy Buttons! You can play this in several ways. The first is to roll the dice and add that number of buttons to the felt shirt. The second is to start with 10 buttons and subtract the number you roll. What a fun way to work on addition and subtraction and can be adapted into multiplayer games for a larger gorup! | Buggy and Buddy

Springtime is the season of flowers, and this game is sure to get kids excited for all the beautiful blooms they see. You can play the game with real or fake flowers, but the artificial flowers have sturdier stems that will stick in the playdough better. Roll the dice, and add that number of flowers to the pot. Easy peasy. You can practice subtracting, too. | Fun-a-Day

You’ll be very “hoppy” with this math game that helps kids learn how to count to 10 and practice addition. It’s perfect for preschoolers who are obsessed with amphibians or can be used in kindergarten, 1st grade and even 2nd grade as a an indoor recess game. | Homeschool Preschool

This cool math tiny fishing game is perfect for number recognition. You can also create an outdoor fishing game with foam fish and a water table! | Buggy and Buddy

Learning shapes is an important early math skill. This game helps kids recognize shapes in everyday objects — a wheel is a circle, a slice of pizza is a triangle, a book is a rectangle. | A Dab of Glue Will Do

Who says you can’t play with your food? Moms are okay with it if you’re learning math skills! This fun game helps kids learn addition and one-to-one correspondence by using their snacks as math manipulatives. | Artsy Fartsy Mama

Dice, Froot Loops, and this cute rainbow craft are all you need for a few minutes of rainbow math fun. Roll the number, add that number of cereal pieces to the color strip (match the colors), and keep rolling until all the strips have pieces on them. | Housing a Forest

Graphing is a great skill for little ones to learn, and it’s easy with this apple race game! Spin the paperclip, and graph the color it lands on by adding that color pom-pom to the apple graph. Easy as apple pie! | Playdough to Plato

Little astronauts will love this Moon Math printable to practice number matching! The glass gems add to the lunar theme, but you can use any circular markers you’d like. | Stir the Wonder

You can start this Money Smarts game with younger children, but past preschool age, it’s especially important to teach them about responsible spending, saving, and giving. Grab your coins nad dollars and play this money smart game with printable math game board. | Left Brain Craft Brain

Grab your sidewalk chalk and head outside to make this engaging math game that exercises your body as well as your mind. This is easily adaptable for all ages.

Take a classic game and turn it into fun addition games for kids. If your family likes Go Fish, then Tens Go Fish will be a cinch for everyone to play! The goal is to get pairs of cards that add up to the sum of 10. | What Do We Do All Day

Play a game of leapfrog to improve addition or multiplication skills. This game is twice the fun because first, you’ll make origami frogs together before learning to make them “jump” to get to the lily pad numbers. | Teach Beside Me

Practice geometry concepts with homemade dice made out of tissue boxes and duct tape. You can make this simple for little ones (like shape identification) or more complex for older children with questions that quiz them on things like right angles. Adapt the game for children in 3rd grade to 6th grade. | Look, We’re Learning

Do your 5th grade kids have a new skill? Turn into a fun game. Fractions and decimals can be challenging for some learners, but it’s easier to grasp when you make them fun. This fractions-to-decimals game is a great way to do just that. In this printable math board game, using dice to determine the number of spaces you go, the older kids will move around the gameboard, solving problems as they go. When children are first learning this process, you can use decimal grids or even calculators in the game to help them familiarize themselves with the equivalent numbers. This equivalent fractions game is also great for 4th grade or 6th grade.| Math Geek Mama

$fractions and decimals math board game printable$

This Base Ten Math Game is helpful kids ages 2 through 8, but it’s especially useful after kindergarten when kids start learning the concept of base 10 numbers. Plus, it’s a handy way to get more use out of those pool noodles in the garage. You’ll need two colors: one color will be used for all the 10s while another color will be used for the ones (this pool noodle will need to be cut into 10 equal segments). Use them to practice numbers 1 through 100. | The Educators’ Spin On It

Work on multiplication math facts with a basketball-themed shoot and score game. You’ll match the problems to the products to help reinforce times tables. It’s definitely a lot more fun than doing multiplication worksheets. | Look, We’re Learning

We hope you’ve enjoyed this list of math games. Don’t forget to pin the post to come back to later!

Are you looking to get your kids outdoors to explore nature? A nature scavenger hunt for kids is the perfect activity for discovery, fresh air, and adventure! From exploring insects, learning about trees, or collecting rocks and flowers, this scavenger hunt will give your kids a fun and educational way to explore the great outdoors. Get ready to put on your hiking boots and go on an adventure!

Benefits of a Nature Walk Scavenger Hunt

As animals and plants emerge from a long winter hibernation, so can we! There are many benefits to getting outside. While the kids might not care about the benefits, it’s good for us as parents to see how an outdoor adventure can be good for the soul.

Promotes an appreciation for the natural environment.

Going on a nature treasure hunt allows you to observe and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. You get to explore different areas of nature that you may not have ventured into before. A few big-picture observations are obvious, but how about getting down to the nitty-gritty? Observe insects as they travel in and out of the entrance to their home. Watch how the wind creates a dance in a field of wildflowers.

Encourages physical activity.

A nature scavenger hunt encourages you to get outdoors and stay physically active. It is a great way to get your daily dose of exercise and fresh air! A hike through a field doesn’t have to be vigorous. In fact, you might not even realize the motions are you going through as you are distracted by the outdoor activity. Want to make it more challenging, incorporate a set of 10 exercises between each activity.

Fosters teamwork skills.

Scavenger hunts are great for bonding with family, friends, or colleagues. Working together towards completing goals promotes teamwork and collaboration within groups. They also can act as an ice breaker for getting to know new friends. Perfect for summer camp or a youth group.

Teaches problem-solving skills.

Solving puzzles or puzzles while on the hunt requires critical thinking and encourages creative problem-solving skills. While this particular scavenger hunt isn’t very challenging, there is a nature checklist that might require a few great detectives to fulfill all the checks.

Makes lasting memories.

Going on a nature scavenger hunt creates a unique experience that can be fondly remembered for years to come! It is the perfect way to make family memories that will last a lifetime. In fact, fresh air and exploration release endorphins. Endorphins open the memory bank for new files. This out-of-the-box activity will be one they won’t forget and will talk about for years.

Enhances knowledge of nature.

By going on a nature scavenger hunt, you can learn new things about the environment and its animal inhabitants. You can increase your understanding of how different plants and animals interact with each other in their natural habitat. Instead of looking at the bigger picture, you are led through this printable outdoor activity to focus on the little things that together build the bigger picture. (For example the leaves instead of the trees or instead of the forest.)

So clearly, the benefits of nature are important. Let’s take a look at the spy games & activities we can do outside to create adventure.
