Giveaway: Create Your Own Family Game Night

In today’s economy, a family outing to the movies can put a strain on most budgets! You don’t even want to know what a recent trip to the movie theater cost our family. We dropped over $100 and didn’t even get to watch the entire movie between bathroom breaks and tantrums. From now on, we’re definitely waiting for the DVD!

Luckily Walmart and Hasbro have partnered to help families make memories and enjoy each other at home. This week, stores across the country have Family Game Night aisles dedicated to helping you put together your own Family Game Night for under $40.

Choose a theme like Sweet Tooth Sunday — with Candyland and the sugary sweet movie Pollyanna along with soda and makings for a homemade ice cream sundaes — or Special Mission Night — all about solving puzzles and using your smarts to uncover a mystery and play Pictureka along with secret recipes of creative snacks to enjoy while you watch National Treasure. Or pick from your all-time favorites at affordable prices.

We headed out to Walmart today with $40 in hand to check it out, and the kids were thrilled with both the selection of games and movies. We finally narrowed it down to Trouble and Operation (both faves of mine when I was younger), and the girls picked out High School Musical. We snagged all 3 for just $35, so we have $5 left over to pick up some simple snacks. $40 for a fun and relaxing evening at home compared to $100+ for a disastrous and stressful outing is a huge bargain! Plus the entertainment isn’t limited to a single 2-hour span.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom winner will receive a $40 Walmart giftcard to put together their own Family Game Night theme!

    since my boys are still young, we stick to the kid games around here – Candyland is my son’s new favorite

    We’re into memory games right now. My son is only four, so we’re just getting into the games – we need to build up our game collection – which consists of 2 games – haha! We’re currently playing Spiderman Memory!! :)

    My favorite board game is scrabble. My husbands favorite is monopoly. As far as the kids go, they are still to young to have a favorite. They just love messing whatever we are playing up.

  19. Melinda

    My favorite game would probably be Boggle, not my hubbies though!! My kids is Trivial Pursuit Disney Edition and Candyland.

    The favorite in our family for both the kids and my husband and me is Yahtzee! We don’t have a whole lot of choices at home right now, so this would be great!

    My favorite family game to play is one we made up called Army Men. We have to teams on each side of the living room. We each set up about 15 army men we get 1 ball and roll it accross the room trying to hit the other teams army men. The team with army men still standing while the other’s are knocked down wins! My boys love this!

    My girls love Battleship! My oldest (7) keeps begging us to play chess but I don’t really know how to play. They are asking for Mousetrap for Christmas!

    Our newest family game (not sure you would call it a board game) Is Dominos and the Mexican Train game. So fun! Can think of so many “themes” to go around it…
