If you were looking for a classic family game, take a trip down memory lane by looking at our guide on Twister. Otherwise, the Honey I love you game, Trivial Pursuit and Exploding Kittens are also great.

If a team gets the question wrong, then they cannot move their game piece and their team’s turn is over.

WHAT'S HAPPENING

We recently received Beat the Parents board game from Spinmaster and could not wait to start playing. After opening the box and familiarising ourselves with the simple rules myself and my niece were ready to go.

There are better trivia and family games you can consider, but beat the parents is easily a non-expensive addition that can be added to many families tabletop game collections.They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. KID-FRIENDLY TRIVIA: Kids and parents live in different worlds, so each generation gets their own set of questions. Parents, do you know what your kids know? Kids, just how smart are your parents? For 2 to 6 players, ages 6 and up. And as a parent, getting to see your kids win a trivia game against you is, well not as magical as it is if you were the kids, but the feeling of pride you feel is pretty good. Plus, you get to see what your kids know, and find new things to talk about. A good win for parents even if they loose the game.
