When my son was born, my husband and I would sit around talking about all of the traditions we would have as he grew older. One of the things I kept saying is that I wanted Friday nights to be pizza and board game night. I couldn’t wait until Hayden was old enough where we could start this tradition and now he finally is! I love family friendly board games because it’s such a great bonding experience for the whole family and we always have a fun time!
If you’re looking for a place to find a wide variety of games that you know your child will love, look no further than Wonder Forge games! Wonder Forge makes over 85 games that have won more than 140 of the industry’s top awards for product excellence. You’ll find games that feature all of your child’s favorite characters – from Dr. Seuss and Curious George to the Justice League and Sofia the First!
We already were a huge fan of Who Shook Hook {it was #1 on my son’s list last year!} and the Chuggington Matching Game. We were sent three games from Wonder Forge for my 5 year old which were all very high on his Christmas list! All 3 are new for 2013 and are sure to be HOT this holiday season!
Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Shipwreck Beach Treasure Hunt Game: Yo ho, let’s go! Captain Hook has buried pirate booty all over Shipwreck Beach. Flip over the gold doubloons and use Jake’s spyglass to decode the secret clues. When you get a match, get up and go! Snag the correct treasure with the foam sword and hurry back to score! This game is great for ages 3 and up with more than 2 players.
Disney Eye Found It! Hidden Picture Game: The jumbo game board is rich with whimsical artwork and favorite Disney characters, making this game a family favorite. Join Mickey Mouse and friends on an exciting race through 12 exquisitely illustrated Disneyrealms, from Radiator Springs and Alice’s Wonderland to Peter Pan’s Never Land and Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood. Throughout the race, everyone searches for iconic Disney objects…and gets a chance to say, “I found it!” This game is great for ages 5 and up with 2-6 players.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Flying Attack!: Send the Turtles flying to knock off Shredder’s Foot Clan as they climb the big, teetering tower, or play as Shredder racing to get your ninjas to the top to win! This game is fun for ages 6 and up and 2-5 players.
All of these games from Wonder Forge are not only great for family game night, but also for play dates! We have several play dates set up over winter break and I can’t wait to pull out these games for all of the kids – I’m sure it will keep them busy for hours!
There’s also a great selection of games for kids ages 8 and up and adults. I know quite a few tweens who will love the Mythbusters game and I can’t wait to bring “Thanks a Lot?!” to my next family gathering!

We haven’t managed to make game night regular yet, but we do try to get it in. Thanks for letting me know about the new games!
My husband and I have been wanting to start a family night with our girls. They are finally old enough to really understand. I love that Jake and the Never Land Pirates game!
the ninja turtle game has caught my attention- and my friend karly JUST asked me wha tshe could get my 6 year old for christmas! this works out perfect
i should get hubby the mythbuster game for christmas
we have a BIG jake and the neverland pirates fan in our home. The treasure hunt game looks safe and fun for the whole family!
My 24-year old daughter and I played Who Shook Hook last year and I had already done the review the month before. We did it for fun! lol Their games are really well done, and I’m kinda loving that Eye Found It game!
the eye found it looks like a game my whole family would love to play together!
I’m not sure how well a game night would go over with our 2.5 and 1.5 year olds, but I’ve been eyeing all of the games that are out for ideas. We have a Jake fan and a Sophia fan, and I know they make themed games so we’ll have to try some night!
Family game nights can be so much fun. My son would have loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game when he was younger.
We used to have family game nights often before our son came along. He is getting old enough to play games with us now, so we need to reinstate Fridays as game night here too!
I think my kids would enjoy all of these games. We have had family game nights on occasion, but I want to make it more of a weekly tradition.
My little boy is 3 years old and would love these! Maybe Santa will bring him some…
My kids will be getting these games too! I am looking forward to playing the Disney game.
eye found it sounds fun. We have game night at least once a month some times more and my kids are always excited they even help with cleaning the house!
My son is a huge fan of Mythbusters. I bet he would love that game.
I love the Wonder Forge brand. Of the games you featured, I really think my daughter would love the Disney Eye Found It! Hidden Picture Game.
Look like fun ones to me!! Game nights are great nights to have regularly!
These look like some great family game night games. I was hoping to put in a request for family to get some new games this year as presents…but they never asked:(
We love Jake at our house! That game looks like it would be a blast to play with my littles!
I love wonder forge games!! My favorite is Richard Scarry’s eye spy game! It is so creative and very cute! I bet it’s very similar to their newer Disney version.
What a fun assortment of toys! It looks like everyone is going to have fun!
I need to check out the Wonder Forge site, apparently. I’m not that familiar with them, but a lot of the games you showed – like the Disney Eye Found It! game, especially – would be of real interest to my family and our game nights.
We have a bunch of Wonderforge games under the tree this year too!
I don’t have any of these games but I know my daughter would love them!
Our family also has family game night. It is such a fun and silly time for everyone, we really enjoy it.
We love game night! Hubs and I play board games with our friends(while the kids all play something else in another room). But I’d love to find something we could play together. Thanks for the suggestions.
I would really like to play the eye found it game. I have read the reviews and the game sounds pretty engaging and fun for kids and adults!
