 Kids have fun Dec 29, 2008
By Val M.
Wasn't sure how to rate this. The overall concept is very simple, and the activities easy enough where the cards are almost silly. The thing is, they are simple, so why did we never think to do them before? It does help spark some dinner time fun, but once we read through the cards, it's not something we look back at. For example, one game is to do a round robin and each family member says a word in a different language. Another is to take something off the table and guess what is missing.
The kids do have fun with the games, and with some imagination you can do this one on your own.

 Family Time Dinner Games Nov 11, 2008
By Jamie White
Nice tin & good ideas on the cards.
My only problem is that it states up to age 12 for this one, and it was a little boring for my 10 year old. I do think that children under 2nd or 3rd grade will love playing this, so I will keep it in mind for the younger ones, but the age recomendations are not totally accurate.
It does have great ideas you could even use on road trips or just for fun anytime, so it's a keeper. Nice little tin it comes in too, easy to pop in your purse for when the family is eating out and need something to do while you wait for your food with younger kids.

Family Time Fun Dinner Games and Activities Dec 12, 2008
By Rubygirl
Excellent dinner entertainment. The game arrived in time for use at a Thanksgiving dinner I attended. We utlized several questions/activities during and after dinner. The oldest adults were in their forties and the youngest child was six, and we all enjoyed the activities. I can see this box of ideas becoming a requested dinner party activity for years to come.

Was hoping for more conversation, less distraction Dec 14, 2010
By Nashville, TN
I think what I wanted when I bought this was Table Topics Family. We found ourselves skipping over over half of the cards in here because we were using it at the dinner table (as the title suggested) but I think having kids pass around a sock at dinner is a bad idea and just ramps them up too much to focus on their meal. A lot of the "games" are physical and are terrible for a dinner table atmosphere, IMHO, but I see that it's still very popular. Just wanted to put another perspective out there.

It's completely changed our dinner time! Mar 16, 2010
By Doughnuts
This has changed everything! We have always tried to have dinner as a family, but with complaints about the menu, sibling arguments, and general fatigue at the end of the day, it's made me wonder if it's worth it. This game has reminded me that it is! Every night we have fun at dinner.
- Games can be enjoyed by a wide variety of ages
- The varied topics prompt sharing, silliness, test memories, and help the older ones teach the younger ones
- They are so simple that the children can modify them to come up with their own new games
Now we linger at the table, kids eat without complaints so we can keep playing (including young guests who insist they don't like salmon or spinach salad!), and my children say, "Are we eating at the big table tonight? Do we get to play Family Dinner Games?"
