Talk about learning vocabulary! My hubby used to do the NY Times crosswords, so he has plenty of extra words that always get me stuck. So we sometimes end the game with a few letters (&amp; words) that I can\u2019t use. It\u2019s all in good fun, though. And I am learning new words &amp; meanings. When our children were all home, we had a family night every Friday, where no phone calls were allowed, no neighborhood kids, and no TV. Just project &amp; wintertime game nights. Their favorite game was always Sorry. We even had tournaments. Ah, the memories! Now my grandgirls are growing up playing games. Their favorite right now is Sorry. They sure keep the pace going, even the 4-year-old. But I love every minute of it. BINGO would be great fun to play with them. By the way, our kids still love to play games, &amp; Trivia is their board game, with Euchre as their favorite card game.<\/p>\n<p>AND<\/p>\n<p><strong><cite>Debbie Christin<\/cite> said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Just this past weekend, my family and I played card games (Gin Rummy, Wild Card, Old Maid).
