Braden Family Games

Games that we play during holidays such as
Thanksgiving and Christrmas,
and games for other family get togethers

Games:

All families have their favorite games. For example, beach games can include kickball, volleyball, bocce ball, and paddle games using a small ball. And there are games of playing catch, both on the beach sand and in the water.

And when families gather in homes, there are also active games such as charades, and card games such as Go Fish, bridge, euchre, rummy, spades, slap jack, and war. Plus there are commercial games such as Uno, Battleship, and Scrabble.

The Braden family also has its games, mostly - but not exclusively - for indoor occasions with small groups of 10 to 12 people. If possible, most games are played in groups of four. That way the contest is a team effort and no one should feel bad about the overall results. Also note that answer choices are multiple choice . . . for the same reason. If you have a deck of cards and 12 players, for example, pull four hearts, four spades, and four clubs from the deck. Then mix the cards and have everyone draw a new card for each game. So Player A draws a spade and is directed to sit at the Spades Table for this one game.

A number of these games have been collected off the Internet and they are listed here, not to plagiarize their contents because most of the games you see here appear on multiple websites with multiple owners, but to share them without any profit motive.
