As fun as they are, family nights out for our bunch usually put a bit of a dent in our pocket book. Think about it – 8 movie tickets (yes, we do have to pay for Noah now!), popcorn, drinks, red licorice, and M&M’s – now, that’s quite the small fortune! Most often, these days, we will save the trips to the theater for special must-see-on-the-big-screen movies, and wait for most to be released on DVD.
Besides, spending our family nights “staying in” can be way more fun! On these much anticipated evenings, we’ll all get our jammies on, make buckets of popcorn, break out the sweets, and sprawl out on the floor in our living room. We’ll then either pull out the games, or pop in a movie, and we’re set to create an evening of fun with our kiddos. It’s totally okay if Noah hops up and wanders around a bit, the kiddos can find the bathroom themselves, Dadddy and I are way more relaxed, and our pocket book thanks us!
To help families across the country make special memories, Walmart and Hasbro have partnered together and created Family Game Night aisles, perfect for helping you put together your own Family Game Night for under $40.
Yes, you heard me right… Under $40!
Thanks to Walmart, we turned $40 into sweet fun with Candyland and the sugary sweet movie Pollyanna. In addition to our popcorn and licorice, we grabbed all the fixings for Root Beer Floats, so we could complete our Family Game Night with a sugar high. Boy, will it be fun!

We play a game called UPWORDS. It is kind of like scrabble, but you can also put letters on top of the tiles to make new words
We like Scrabble
Since I am the only female in my house, I usually end up watching some kind of adventure or superhero movie, such as X-Men. Every now and then I can throw in something like Monsters, Inc. so it all works out pretty good! Thanks!

We have a regular Saturday night family game night and each night a different person picks. Our current game is a 4 player game called Bloxus, where you lay down multi-shaped tiles on a board trying to use all your tiles and also block other players from laying theirs – they all to be connected. It is very strategic and also plays fast – maybe 30 mins for a game.

WOW! My family loves game night and with a 13,15, and 16 year old it gets really interesting especially when we play monopoly or some other game with strategy cause they all are out to get us !! We really enjoy the time we have together though because before too long they will be all grown up and gone away.

I’ve loved Scrabble since I first found out about the game. I enjoy playing it non-competitively, meaning helping each other out when someone gets stuck. I still like to keep score, just for fun, but it really doesn’t matter who wins and loses.

My family’s favorite game is Scrabble.
