At our house we try hard to all sit together at the dinner table every night of the week.  Its not that we are ultra strict about this but the kids eat better, we get to visit with them at the end of the day, and it just feels good to be a family.  Now every night is not supper with Wally and the Beaver but we still try to make it an organized part of our day. 

For Christmas we bought the kids these two tins of games from Family Time Fun called Dinner Games and Beginner Dinner Games.  Each tin contains a number of laminated cards with quick little games everyone can play while you eat dinner, even our 4 year old.  Some of our recent favorites are "Virtual Hide and Seek" where everyone at the table thinks of a place they would hide in the house.  Each family member at the table has to ask a yes or no question to figure out the secret virtual location.  If you guess it wrong you have to take a sip of milk and move to the next person.  James is actually drinking his milk, which is amazing in itself. 

The games are fun and help kids start great conversations with you at the table.  Since we started playing with the Dinner Games the kids get excited about sitting together and enjoying dinner.  It has really made dinner something we look forward to at night as a special time with the family rather than just another task to get completed before bed.  We highly recommend picking this game up for your family dinner time.
