Card Games

Depending on the size of your group, you might find that card games are the perfect way to while away the hours.  From smaller group games like gin, gin rummy, king’s corners, war, and old maid to big group games like spoons, a deck of cards can be the answer to your boredom problem.  Challenge the teenagers in your group to learn something tricky like pinochle, bridge, or canasta, or introduce a younger child to the rules of solitaire.  Spoons—a card-game version of musical chairs—is especially good for a group with a little excess energy.
