I have come to love game playing at gatherings. Games are not only effective ice breakers, but they’re also great bonding experiences. You can learn a lot about people by playing games with them (like how competitive people can be, not that that’s a bad thing). There’s certainly a plethora of group games you can purchase, but I like the easy and free kind. With that in mind, I bring you 10 great group games for gatherings.

How many of us realized back in March, that so much of our lives would still be virtual? From church services, to school, we are very much tied to the online world.

With families homebound (at the time I wrote this post) due to the shelter in place order, it hopefully means families are also eating together more.

Some of the games I listed required pencil and paper. The games on the list here don’t require any materials. They truly are simple games to play around the table.
