Winter – the perfect time to get together and play some board games!
I’m all about being outside and playing in the snow. But when all that is done what a better way to spend the evening than getting all cozy inside and playing winter board games.
These ideas would be great too when the school is closed for a snow day. Or if you are otherwise looking for indoor activities for your kids.
I searched for some fun board game ideas for kids and found some very cool ones!
