Rainy Weekend Fun: Family Board Game Blitz

Instead of letting the rain put a damper on your day, embrace it with a board game day!

From the weekend weather forecast, it may not be a great outdoor weekend. Check ahead before you head out to activities and events as some events will cancel due to weather. 

The weather's always right for a family board or card game blitz day. Let each child choose a favorite board or card game to play. Grownups can pick a game too. 

Here are some classics to try -- or choose your family's favorite. Whether your kids are little or big, gather the family and enjoy a family game day.

Some of our family's favorite board games are old school games: Monopoly, Operation, Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, and others. We also love card games, including Spot It, and dice games like Yahtzee. 

In the Lynchburg area, you'll find a huge selection of both old school and newer board and card games at Givens Books and Little Dickens, located at 2236 Lakeside Drive in Lynchburg. It's our family's go-to for board game fun. 

What's your family's favorite board game?
