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 Do you really 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 family 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

how to make easy chocolate chip cookies recipe for kids with printable recipe infographic

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (chocolate chunks will work too)

Supplies

  • Oven
  • Bowl
  • Measuring cup
  • Measuring spoons
  • Mixer or spoon
  • Scoop
  • Baking sheet(s)
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F
  2. Sift together 2 3/4 cups flour, a tsp baking soda powder, & 1 tsp sodium salt into a mixing bowl.
  3. Cream butter with 2 large eggs, packed brown sugar, white sugar and 2 tsps vanilla extract until fluffy.
  4. In a large bowl, slowly add flour to butter mixture & gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until combined.
  5. Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons cookie dough balls on parchment lined baking tray.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes for a crispy edge and perfect center.
  7. Wait 2-3 minutes and move to a wire rack for cooling.

This delicious recipe batch yields about 30 of the best chocolate chip cookies. Store inside an airtight container to keep fresh and hold a yummy taste.

Can I make these chocolate chip cookies ahead?

Yes, this chewy chocolate chip cookies recipe is actually best if made ahead. That doesn’t mean you can’t whip up the recipe and immediately put the mixture in the oven. However, if you can let your mixed cookie dough chill for up to two hours before baking, your cookies will come out nice and fluffy texture. Chilling chocolate chip cookie dough solidifies the fat in the cookies.

Also consider making your own homemade movie night invitations. These invites can be slid under the bedroom door of family members along with family movie night tickets.

To begin, set up a pretend window and table for a ticket booth.

After you collect your printable movie tickets, offer coupons for a concession stand. Have an area with movie theater candy, hot dogs, pizza and popcorn. Guests can look at the menu and pick their own treats and boxes of candy. USe the movie theater concession stand menu to allow kids to do simple math of how much money is owed.

You can set up a popcorn bar with candy, chocolate, sweet treats and even popcorn boxes. Everyone can put their own concoction together.

Once the yummy food has been passed out the anticipation of the cinema has grown. Allow everyone to sit down in their favorite seat. Pass out cozy blankets.

If you’re looking for a fun activity to do with the kids in your neighborhood, consider this fun neighborhood scavenger hunt PDF!

Let’s get outdoors and begin our local treasure hunt!

What is a scavenger hunt?

A scavenger hunt is a game similar to a treasure hunt. Players collect or identify specific items, usually specified on a list or given in a series of clues. Players are given a list of items to find or collect. This collection can be a collection of similar things or a series of clue cards. There are two different types of scavenger hunt hunts…

  • Scavenger Hunt Checklist
  • Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards

A scavenger hunt can be casual or can be a timed race.  It can be played individually or with a team. There are a few examples of how to declare a winner in a scavenger hunt…

  • Man vs clock: Each player races to beat another players time.
  • Man vs Man: Multiple players go at the same time. The winner finishes the race first.
  • Team vs Team: Players work together to finish their scavenger hunt before the other team finishes first.

At the end of a scavenger treasure hunt there is a prize. The first player to find or collect all the items on the list or complete the rhyming riddles wins the game.  Examples of scavenger hunt prizes can include…

  • holiday gifts
  • birthday presents
  • party favors
  • small prizes
  • a series of items that lead to a larger clue (for example letters to unscramble)
  • candy

How to Prepare for a Scavenger Hunt

Decide on the area you will be searching. This could be your neighborhood, a local park, playground or even your own backyard. In this case, you’ll be doing the scavenger hunt in your neighborhood and by foot or car depending on your area.

Put together clues in the form of a checklist or clue cards. For example, in a scavenger hunt checklist, make a list of items for the players to find or collect. The list can be as simple or complex as you like. For example, at a Safari Themed Party, players might collect different animals found in the jungle that are hiding in the party venue.

If you are created ideas for scavenger hunt clues for kids, you want to have a consecutive list of places you want the kids to go. Then you offer clues so that they find that location.

neighborhood scavenger hunt clue card ideas

An example of a scavenger hunt clue for kids is…

Check out the pathway on the side of the street. On the concrete is a clue for you to meet.

Start the town scavenger hunt. Print out the cards or checklist, and choose the area of the neighborhood you’ll be working in.

What’s in this Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt?

For this neighborhood scavenger hunt printable set, there are actually two types of neighborhood scavenger hunt ideas to choose from: A checklist and rhyming riddles clue cards.

The first neighborhood treasure hunt is more descriptive and great for older kids or teenagers that can read and solve riddles. This could be used on your street or using a car scavenger hunt for a larger area. Second, there is also a list of items for younger kids.  This would be used as a walking scavenger hunt and kids check off the list of items on their visual list.

Clue Cards

Neighborhood scavenger hunt for adults or teens or older kids

This scavenger hunt is great for older children, teens or even adults. Use rhyming riddles and go on a neighborhood walk scavenger hunt on foot or driving scavenger hunt as you locate different clues and ultimately find your prize.

To get started, cut the rhyming clue cards apart. Choose the scavenger hunt clue cards that are best for your neighborhood and plan your order. If you wish, you can add a number to the back of the card for ordering.

Since you are in a larger area, such as a neighborhood, create a boundary where clues can be found. To keep the clues in a larger area, write your own clues on the back. For example, use hints like this is at a house to the left of yours. This is at a flower bush four driveways from yours. Hide your cards in the appropriate spot but save the first card to start the hunt. You can play foot, bicycle, golf cart or car!

In our printable set, you’ll also find a page full of do not touch signs! These signs are great for when you don’t want anyone messing up your scavenger hunt and picking up a clue card before players have gotten to that riddle.

Checklist

easy neighborhood scavenger hunt for kids

The second photo scavenger hunt is ideal for preschoolers or younger children and kids. In this scavenger hunt list, participants can see the picture and from there they can look for the item in the picture. The scavenger hunt includes 16 items.

Example neighborhood checklist items include…

  • sprinkler
  • dog
  • flower
  • mailbox
  • airplane
  • stop sign

Once an items is found, you can use a circle sticker and cover the item (like these on Amazon) or just add a circle or X. This is not a checklist neighborhood hunt where you pick up the item – the neighbor might not like you carrying their dog home. LOL.

What is a Scavenger Hunt?

A scavenger hunt is an engaging game played by children (and adults, too!) Every scavenger hunt begins with a list of objects to find and riddles or clues to help the players locate the items. To play the game, divide the players into at least 2 teams and give the teams or individual players copies of the list of clues. A scavenger hunt is similar to a treasure hunt in that there are clues to solve and at the end is typically a scavenger hunt prize or present.

Scavenger Hunt Printables for Kids

What are the Scavenger Hunt Rules?

Scavenger hunts can be played individually or in groups — either way, whoever finishes first wins! There are two types of hunts. Hunts can be consecutive where a team or individuals are given the first clue which leads to the second, third, fourth, and so on. Alternatively, hunts can be done using a checklist where the full list of “must do’s” are provided at the beginning. Provide players with a writing utensil, and they can check off their finds as they go!

Individual Scavenger Hunts

Individual scavenger hunts are a great way to busy a child or give them individual gifts on a special day. At each stopping point, before the next scavenger hunt riddle clue is given, gift your child a piece of their larger present. You can do this on birthday or even collecting their Back to School Supplies. Yes, you can do a scavenger hunt at home to make even Back to School Supplies exciting!

To begin, supply the player with the first scavenger hunt clue. The first riddle will lead them to the second. The second will lead them to the third clue and so on until the scavenger hunt is over. You can also provide a scavenger hunt checklist where the entire list must be completed before a prize is given.

Group Scavenger Hunts

Group scavenger hunts are perfect for sleepovers, lock-ins, class parties, and more. Even adults can find their inner child and have fun challenging each other in outdoor venues like parks, concerts, the mall, or in a city hunt challenge around town.

Either supply your groups with a scavenger hunts riddle and clue #1 or provide them a list of things to get on a piece of paper. This list is their checklist and must be completed in order to declare a winner. A checklist Scavenger Hunt is typically easier for large groups, so you don’t have to go around hiding multiple sets of clues for each team.

cheap birthday party ideas low-cost party for kids and adults

Birthday celebrations can be expensive. But there are cheap and inexpensive ways to make an adults’ or kid’s birthday fun. These fun ideas are affordable and easy to set up for friends and family of any age.

I’m going to walk you through having a fun birthday party on the budget. From party ideas to activities, you will be able to put together an amazing party and all on a budget!

How to have a birthday party on a budget

Are you looking to celebrate a birthday but don’t want to spend a lot of money? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. According to a recent survey, the average person spends about $600 on their birthday celebrations. But there’s no need to break the bank just to have a good time.

Cheap birthday parties for those on a budget can still turn out great. You really just have to focus on the areas that you want to spend money on and the other areas you can do on a budget! For example, you may want to go all out on the cake, but save money on the gifts. With a little bit of creativity, you can still have a fantastic birthday party without blowing your budget.

Here are some tips for cheap birthday party ideas:

Set a budget and stick to it

This is probably the most important tip when it comes to having a child’s birthday party on a budget. Decide how much you’re willing or able to spend beforehand, and then make sure all of your decisions reflect that budget. Start with the item that is most important to you. One that you are not willing to spend less on. Start there and then start researching the rest of the party ideas.

Get creative with the guest list

Instead of inviting everyone you know, be selective about who you invite. You can still have a great time with fewer people in attendance. Plus, this will allow you to focus your spending on making sure those who do attend have an amazing time. The individuals that were not invited to this party can be guests for another occasion.

DIY as much as possible

Another great way to save money is by doing things yourself instead of hiring someone else to do them for you. For example, if you’re good at baking, why not make your own cake instead of buying one? Or if you’re crafty, you could make your own invitations or decorations instead of buying them from a store. Pinterest and bloggers provide a lot of ideas for DIY party favors, printable banners, and even low-cost themed birthday party ideas.

Think outside the box when it comes to activities

Just because there’s no money for entertainment doesn’t mean your guests will be bored. There are plenty of fun games and activities that don’t cost anything to play. For example, charades, scavenger hunts, karaoke and printable themed party games are all great options that are sure to keep your guests happy and entertained.

Save on the Venue

In addition to thinking outside the box for birthday party activities, also think outside the box for the party room. Public, national, and local parks are often affordable places. Think of all the places friends have had parties. Now cross those ideas off. Why, because they are popular and popular means there is an up charge in cost – supply vs demand.  This past year, we found a small fish tank aquarium. It had an outdoor place for the kids to play and it might have been the best, most affordable party we ever had. Parents raved about the venue and no one had every been there before. By finding something that was not “common” we saved a lot. If the venue place is still too much, have a party at your home or in your backyard.

Having a birthday party on a budget is totally possible, you just need to get creative! By following these low-cost party tips, you can throw an amazing bash without breaking the bank in the process!

What activities do children like to do on their birthdays?

Here are some great low cost party ideas for celebrating birthdays with kids. Create these fun birthday ideas with a party of two to a party of 30!

Let your child help you make their birthday cake! Make your own DIY cake mix or pick up a boxed mix. They’ll love being able to help out and will be so excited to eat their creation. You can even let them make their own miniature cake (or cupcake) and have a larger cake for the family to share. This can be done with themed party food or party snacks too.

Kids Party Games

I mentioned earlier, saving money on the things you can. Decide what’s most important to you, then save on the rest. Having a birthday party allows your child to feel important. It puts them at the center of attention.  The goal is a fun birthday party that gives your child self affirmation and positive feelings of oneself.

Now that you have honored your child with the special occasion, honor your guests with fun. One of the most expensive items for birthday parties, is the entertainment. Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience or gives pleasure and delight. We have many low cost party ideas for entertainment but one of the best ways to offer affordable entertainment is through Kids’ birthday party games. Our low-cost printable games offer a list of party game instructions and a supply list so you are organized with the party entertainment.
