Raves, Craves, and Not So Faves – Clue

Now that my two oldest (10 and almost 9) are old enough, we have been having a great time playing the game Clue by Parker Bradley. Most parents probably remember it from when they were a kid, the whodunit game with Professor Plum and Miss Scarlet. It is a great game for family game night, it teaches kids deductive reasoning and strategic thinking skills while being fun for parents too.

Letter to the Future

Take advantage of your family get together at Easter this year to create a family time capsule. Ask all of your family members to bring an item that represents them (i.e. a picture, favorite recipe, book, drawing, etc) to the Easter or Passover dinner. Place all of the collected items along with a Letter to the Future in your time capsule and store it away until some agreed upon future family get together.
