Off the Shelf: Family Game Night

Our Family Game Night is a monthly event where everyone can come and play different games with their friends and neighbors. People can play board games, card games, and even games that our patrons have brought in to share! We have games for every age group and level, so there’s always something to do.
Family Game Night isn’t just a fun way to pass the time; it can also be an important part of your child’s development!
For little kids, games can help with fine motor skills. Any time they have to toss dice or handle a hand of cards, they’re developing motor control and hand-eye coordination.
Playing games is also a great way for kids to learn how to problem-solve with others in a low-stress way. Giving everyone clear rules and a goal helps them know what they’re doing and makes it easier to get along.
Different games also encourage strategic thinking at any learning level (the strategy behind Connect Four is very different from chess!). No matter what game you play, it’s an opportunity for everyone to have fun! After all, you can learn a lot about your friends from how they play Clue.
Come join us for Family Game Night next Thursday, November 19, from 5:00-6:30pm. We’ll have snacks, drinks, and a ton of fun games ready for you!
