Don't forget
Make game night stick with downloadable reminders! Use the small ones to save the date on your busy calendar and the large ones to build excitement for the big event -- stick them on the bathroom mirror, on the fridge, in sack lunches, or on the dashboard of the car!

Picture perfect
Game night décor should be simple, easy, and fun! Make your own Zooma puzzles by taking close-up pictures of your family members' favorite belongings. Hang the photos around the room and see who can identify them!

Something for everyone
You can't have a game night without snacks. For a quick (and tasty!) solution, have each family member choose an ingredient for a Star Performer snack mix (nuts, chips, pretzels, cereal, marshmallows). Mix it together and enjoy!

Our family
Game night is a great time to celebrate all the things that make your family unique. Before the games begin, roll the Cranium Cubes from The Family Fun Game and work together to come up with a word that starts with each letter and reminds you of your family. Download Our Family Letter Line-Up, write down your words, and hang it on the fridge.

Everyone Shines
You'll never forget your brother acting out "supermodel" or your Mom pushing an alarm clock across the floor with her nose! Celebrate the shining moments of your family's game night with customizable awards. Download our Cranium Shine Certificates or make your own!

Make it last
The fun doesn't have to stop when the game's over. Make it last with our Piggyback download. Choose a Piggyback category from The Family Fun Game or make your own (things in a toy box, at a carnival, or on a pizza, for example). Then write your category on a piece of paper and hang it on the fridge.

Over the course of the week, take turns listing words in the category. (Remember: each word should start with the last letter of the previous word.) Can you get 20 words before the next game night?

Thanks for the memories!
Savor those hilarious moments by making a game night scrapbook. Keep your favorite snapshots, Sensosketch drawings, Our Family Letter Line-Up lists -- anything that reminds you of game night!

Make your game night an outrageous success! Check out the games and fun available.
