Women’s Game Night-Do it up Right!

Every Mom, working or not, needs a little break from the daily routine. SharpMoms thinks spending some time with girlfriends is a great way to unwind. Rather than meeting for the traditional dinner date with friends, try planning a monthly game night with your gal pals. This idea is fun, cheap, and a great way to spend time gossiping and catching up with your best girls. Not sure where to start? Here are some tips:

Game night should be stress-free and kid-free! Plan a simple menu of appetizers and drinks. Perhaps ask each friend to bring an appetizer or drink of choice. Plan on getting a sitter for your kids and your friend’s kids as well. Maybe there is an older teenager in the group that can watch the younger children, or, better yet, corale the husbands into watching the kids!

Game Options:

1. Bunco is always a great game choice. It is mindless, easy to play, and fun.
2. Relive your childhood with a night of Twister. Everyone will get a good laugh!
3. Find your inner “man” and play a few rounds of poker.
4. Who’s the best liar in the group? A good game of Bull Shit should help you figure it out! The object of the game is to discard all the cards from your hand.
5. Stay traditional and play a round of Monopoly or LIFE.
6. Apples to Apples is a great, fun game. It works best if you know at least a little about all the players. The object of the game is to guess which one player will choose from a list of options.
