Family time at Christmas is extra special. It has its highs \u2013 with games and food and catching up. But, it can also have its lows \u2013\u00a0when the cabin fever sets in after a few days at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good way to keep spirits high during the holidays and to channel that restless energy is by playing family games. They\u2019re a great excuse to switch off screens and reconnect with the ones you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve picked our top 6 festive family games to play that will keep everyone engaged but also support learning for teens (and adults!):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A classic favourite that\u2019s sure to get your family off the sofa is charades. Whether you\u2019re acting the part of \u2018Ebenezer Scrooge\u2019 or grappling with an extra tricky clue, your creative thinking skills are put to the test.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A huge bonus with charades is that you can adapt the game to suit your family\u2019s interests. You can even help your teen revise for exams by including categories like historical figures or characters from GCSE<\/a> books. The sky\u2019s the limit!<\/p>\n\n\n
