DealDash Family Game Night Ideas for February

My family loves games of all types on game night such as board games, video games, card games. What is your family’s favorite type of game?

Cold and snowy winter nights can make everyone a little stir-crazy, but family game nights are the perfect way to bring everyone together for some fun! Whether you’re into board games, active games, or DIY challenges, there’s something for every family. So, grab some snacks, cozy up, and try these game night ideas from DealDash to keep the winter blues away!

Classic Game Night Board Games with a Twist

Board games are a game night staple, but you can make them even more exciting with fun house rules! Try these suggestions, or make up your own rules. Just be sure that everyone understands and agrees when you go “off the beaten path” rules-wise.

• Speed Monopoly – Set a timer for 60 minutes and whoever has the most assets at the end wins. No never-ending games!
• Reverse Uno – Every time you play a reverse card, swap hands with the next player. Chaos guaranteed!
• Themed Scrabble – Pick a theme (movies, food, travel) and only use words related to that topic.
• DIY Prize System – Let winners pick a small prize (think stickers, extra dessert, or a no-chores pass).

Active & Silly Games to Get Everyone Moving

If your family prefers more interactive games, these will get everyone having fun on your next family game night.

• Minute to Win It Challenges – Try stacking cups, balancing books on your forehead, or racing to wrap a family member in toilet paper like a mummy.
• Indoor Obstacle Course – Set up couch cushions, chairs, and string for a fun challenge. Time each player and see who can finish the fastest!
• Charades with a Twist – Instead of acting, try drawing or using only sound effects. Bonus: Use a theme like “Disney movies” or “famous landmarks.”
• Freeze Dance Party – Play upbeat music and have everyone freeze when the music stops. First person to move is out!

DIY & Tech-Free Game Night Ideas

Sometimes, the best games don’t come in a box! Try these easy, no-equipment games:

• The “Would You Rather?” Challenge – Take turns asking silly or tricky “Would You Rather?” questions. Example: “Would you rather have to sing everything you say or dance everywhere you go?” Check out the Best Ideas for Kids website for printable “Would you rather?” questions.
• Storytelling Relay – One person starts a story with a sentence, and each person adds a new sentence. See where it goes!
• Guess That Sound – Blindfold one person and make different sounds using household objects. Can they guess what made the sound?
• Secret Code Messages – Use a simple cipher (like shifting letters) to send each other coded messages. Fun for older kids!

DealDash Has Fun and Games for All Ages

Now that you’re excited for your next family game night, why not take a peek at what DealDash has to offer? As a child of the 80’s and 90’s, when I hear “family games” I think of Nintendo before I think of board games! If you want to pick up a Switch or a couple of games, DealDash should be your first stop. However, if your family doesn’t like video games, you will also find Legos, puzzles, and board games.
