This year British Columbia began to celebrate Family Day on the second Monday of February. Except in British Columbia, the timing of Family Day coincides with Presidents Day in the United States.
The second and third Mondays in February are regular working days in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the territories. As Family Day is not currently recognized in the federal sphere, federal employees in all provinces (such as public servants and postal workers) still work on this day. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the third Monday of February is a school board holiday, but not an official provincial holiday.
A little confusing right??
Well if it's a holiday for you Hasbro Canada thinks it's a great day to Play!
This Family Day holiday, Hasbro wants to give families a chance to take a break from hetic schedules. Switch off the electronic distractions and take part in an evening of game play to reconnect and reenergize relationships and most importantly, create memories together.
Hasbro Canada has games for every family and every age. We introduced our boys to a fun new version of JENGA, that is perfect for little boys as there's an explosion! JENGA Boom - Just like in the classic JENGA game, you’ll need a delicate touch to pull blocks out of the stack without knocking it down. But in JENGA Boom, you have to move fast, because you start the detonator before each turn – and you have to get your block out before your time runs out and the stack "explodes!" We have been having lots of fun with this, and I was kind of surprised the boys actually have the patience and skills to play JENGA - who knew!, we've been having lots of fun!
Another fun family game is Draw Something - have you been playing this one on your phone like hubby and I have? Now you can play in your living room! While one player draws, everyone else shouts out their guesses at what they're drawing. Whoever guesses the word earns coins along with the drawer, and the harder the word, the more coins you earn! Collect 15 coins for the win!
My absolute favourite game, and one I am so happy to have (previously we only had The Simpsons version) is the CLUE The Classic Mystery Game. Ransack the mansion for clues, ask cunning detective questions and leave no card unturned. Solve the murder first to win! Hubby and I have been enjoying this one at night after the big kids go to bed, I love it!
This Family Day is the perfect day to stay inside and break out a new game. When we play games in the living room or at the kitchen table we have so much fun and I'm always surprised by how much we begin to talk, the boys are always more open to share things that happened at school the previous week, their thoughts and ideas and something silly always happens that we can reminisce about later. Why not surprise the family with a new game from Hasbro Canada this Family Day, and enjoy each other!
