Create Your Own Family/Friends Game Night

Family and friends.  together at a table playing board games.
Making memories, sharing laughs, and enjoying every moment together.

Every second week of November, libraries around the world celebrate International Games Week, inviting their communities to come to the library for games, fun, and community building. It’s a terrific way to meet new people in your community and connect with your local library. And if your local library doesn’t host an International Games Week event yet, you could be just the person to volunteer to organize one!

If International Games Week reminded you that you like playing games and wish you had more fun in your daily life, it may be time for you to set up your own Family/Friends Game Night to strengthen your connections and have some fun.

Who do you want to play with?
Family? Friend group? Coworkers? Neighbors?
Are you looking for age-appropriate fun for the whole family, or grown-ups only? Do you want to bond with your immediate family, or do you want a more social event? What about a recurring family game night where sometimes you invite one of the kids’ friend’s families to join in? How about a couples’ night where everyone gets a little time for connection outside of the usual date-night ideas? Talk to some people and see who might be interested!

Where do you want to play?
Your family might want to set up at the kitchen table or in the living room, while friends may want to take turns hosting or meet up at a local coffee shop or pub.
You’ll want to make sure the space has everything you need to play comfortably – comfortable seating, a sizeable tabletop, lighting, open space, or equipment.

What do you want to play?
There is an endless array of games to choose from. There’s a variety of board games, cards, and tabletop games to suit any age and interest. Some people have rec rooms outfitted with pool tables, ping pong, darts, air hockey, and more, or your town may have arcades, bowling alleys, and game rooms open to the public.
Set up a multiplayer video game on a big screen or projector for group play. You can even set up your own games like balloon tennis, indoor minigolf, scavenger hunts, or get creative and design your very own board game!
 

When will you play?
The biggest challenge may be finding time to play. Life can get busy. Scheduling conflicts can be difficult to manage. It’s easy to let fun little things like game night fall by the wayside but dedicating this time to building your relationships and having a little fun is one of the most important things you can do in your life.
