I've played Scrabble with friends who get downright agitated if you put the word "if" or "no" on the Scrabble board. They are VERY serious about their Scrabble.
My wife and I play with our eight year old who does amazingly well at this game. We do strive to avoid two letter words and we can get a bit competitive - currently my wife is the reigning champion!
Family game night is a great alternative to watching TV. Did you forget TV Turnoff Week is THIS WEEK? I'm here to remind you :) So, pull a game off the shelf and get started. We try to play a game together once a week. Once you start this family tradition there's no turning back. Your children will remind you because they LOVE it...even better than TV!
