If you’re short on time but don’t want to be short on fun, try one of these 10 family board games! Each are great for families with players ages 6-8+ and can be enjoyed in about 20 minutes or less! 

It’s my belief that a parent can never have too many quick activities to do with their kids. I’m always on the hunt for games that have fast play times for the days that either my to-do list is too long, bed time too close, or attention spans are too short.

Any one of these below games are what I happily reach for! They are fun and engaging for kids and parents while only taking about 15 minutes or less to play. A win for everyone!

Many of my favorite holiday memories come from the fun games played with friends and family. Whether you’re enjoying a warm cup of cocoa with a classic card game, dining on cookies while you laugh with a new party game, or taking advantage of those silent nights with a strategy game, the moments you spend playing games with your loved ones is time well spent.

Below we’ve rounded up our top game recommendations for 2022! To help you, I’ve separated into categories by age.

Five is the year I felt like my little babies became kids. So many changes happen. They stop looking like little babies, they are ready or almost ready to head to Kindergarten, and they’re able to do many things on their own without the assistance of a parent. All these physical and emotional developments make them the perfect age for some new and exciting board games.
