Taboo Kids vs. Parents Family Board Game

On the next family picnic, get the entire group to compete with Taboo Kids vs. Parents ($16, originally $20). Kids play against parents in the race against the clock to get as many words as possible! It's a fun take on the game — the best part might be the squeaker that's used to squeak at the person who uses a forbidden word.

You can never go wrong with a classic game of Jenga ($17). It follows three easy steps: pull a block from the stack out, place it back on top, don't let the tower fall! Here's the catch: you can only use one hand, meaning you can't try to stabilise the tower if you see it falling.
