Check out these FamilyTimeFun Dinner Games! A selection of great Family games that help you connect with your children as you spend quality time together. Let's face it, in today's fast paced world many families barely have time to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Other things seem to take your time and spending quality, fun time with your family becomes more challenging every day. That's why John, father of two children, created the FamilyTimeFun games.

Beginner Dinner Games are for families with kids ages 3-6. Original Dinner Games are for ages 6-12. And the new Gather ‘Round Dinner Game with push-button action is for ages 5 and up.
Thanks to FamilyTimeFun we have one of their new Gather 'Round Dinner Games to giveaway! Please go to their site: www.ftfgames.com and name one of the games listed on the Sample Games page. Leave your answer in a comment with your email address for a chance to win!
Check out even more reasons to take the time to spend family meal time with your kids:
There are not many things better for a family than to simply have meals together. Families, especially kids, benefit enormously from frequent positive family meals:
- Improves family communication
- Improves nutrition and eating habits
- Improves literacy development among preschoolers
- Develops a protective factor for adolescents against tobacco, alcohol, drugs and low grade point averages
The more meals your family has together, the more you'll enjoy these amazing benefits! And remember, keep the meals positive, lighthearted and fun.
More specifically, according to research by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University, children and teens who have frequent family meals:
- Are at half the risk for substance abuse compared to teens who dine with their families infrequently
- Are less likely to have friends or classmates who use illicit drugs or abuse prescription drugs
- Have lower levels of tension and stress at home
- Are more likely to say that their parents are proud of them
- Are likelier to say they can confide in their parents
- Are likelier to get better grades in school
- Are more likely to be emotionally content and have positive peer relationships
- Have healthier eating habits
- Are at lower risk for thoughts of suicide
- Are less likely to try marijuana or have friends who use marijuana

Happy Tuesday! What a wonderful concept for games. Our family of four sits down almost every evening for dinner together. This game would add some punch to our meals! I really like the "Memory Game!" Please enter my name in your game giveaway drawing. Thanks.....Cindi

My kids are too little for some of the games, but I think they could play "what's missing"...maybe we'll even try it tonight

"What's Missing" is one of the options! They are loads of them, though.
