10 traditional games to play when rellies descend and screens are banned
The holidays are here and with them come the onslaught of relatives. This is no time to spend hours in front of the telly or play video games until your kids’ fingers grow calluses. No, it’s time to make some new memories and have some good old-fashioned fun with Aunty Jane, great Uncle Sam and all the crazy cousins! Step back in time and enjoy some quality family fun together with these old school games.
1. Quoits
Thanks to its funky retro nature, this fabulous game is making a comeback. A traditional quoits pack features a stick held in place by a small platform and a set of rings made out of rope or rubber. Then the game heats up as the contestants throw their rings towards the spike. The person who gets the most on the stick, wins! It’s a great game for all ages – and if the littlies are too tiny to reach the peg, they’ll love collecting the quoits after a throw. Ages 5+
