Enjoyable Card Games For Families

By Beryl Dalton


Spending time together as a family in today's fast-paced world is quite invaluable. With all the technology at our fingertips and the amount of entertainment there is easy access to, getting the family together to do something old-school can be a chore. However, these card games for families are guaranteed to be fun and have the kids begging for more family time.

One of the most classic games to play is Go Fish, which is fun for everyone involved. The best amount of players to have for this game is 3 to 6. For less than 4 players, each person should get 7 cards. Where there are more than 4 people playing, everyone should get 5 cards each.

The remainder of the cards gets put into a pile known as the 'pond'. This is the pile from which players will draw cards over the course of the game if necessary. The aim of the game is to collect the most sets of four. Each player takes a turn in asking another player for a specific card to help them make a set. If they don't have the required card, the asker is told to 'Go Fish', which means they have to take a card from the pile.

Another easy but fun card game is Memory. Other names for this game are Concentration and Pairs. As all names suggest, players must take turns to try and picking matching pairs of cards. The cards are placed face down in a random order.

If the pair picked does not match, they must be returned to their positions face down. The next player plays. If someone picks a matching pair of cards, they keep the pair and have another go. The one with the most pairs wins.

You may remember a game called UNO, which is not played with your everyday deck of cards! The UNO pack is very special and the game can accommodate 10 people playing. This is great for bigger families! Deal seven cards to each person and place the rest in a pile and 'kick' one card to show face up.

The starter card is what dictates what the first player should play. They have to match the card's number or color, or if they cannot do this, they can take one from the pile and let the next person play. A player can also use one of several special cards to change the play order or even dictate the color to play next. It is quite easy once players get the hang of it, but it also becomes very strategic.

Games like these will help you and your family to bond while having fun. You can show your kids that there is a lot they can do without video games, computers and TVs. You will also be teaching them how they can entertain themselves when the power it out or even on a long trip in the car or plane.
