Hi

We have Yahtzee as well, and who's in the bag, we also have a travel trivial persutes and when my sons where younger we use to have kid trivial card so they could join in, now the youngest is 14 he just uses the normal cards, also Articulate is good, we dont use the board just a pad and pen to keep score. oh and pictionary is good as well, WH Smiths do there own version of quiet a few games and the boxes are smaller and they also have a good selection of travel games.

Sticky foreheads! Just need some post its and each player writes the name of a person or character (eg Micky Mouse,Robbie Williams, Jesus Christ) on one post it and sticks it on someone else's forehead (without them seeing it). Then you take it in turns to ask questions to get a yes or no answer (Am I a real person, am i dead, am I a singer, etc). You keep asking questions until you get a "no". The first person to guess who they are is the winner. Good game if you have different age groups - you just vary the difficulty of the names according to age.

Boxes - draw dots in a square (10 x 10 or however big you want). Take turns to draw a line from one dot to it's immediate neighbour ( hoizontally or vertically, not diagonally). Keep going until one person adds a line which forms a square of the 4 dots. Put your initial in that box. You get another go each time you form a box. Count up the initials at the end for the winner.

Book of bingo tickets and pack  of marker pens fom poundland.  We just call the numbers at random from a strip of 6, and tick them off,so no need for bingo machines. . Charge everyone 20p to play and winner takes all.

Dominoes, in wooden box, again from poundland.

Those scoobydoo string things kept them amused last year, but now they're out of fashion........... who knows.
