Games
The hot game this year for teenagers is Kids Against Maturity: Card Game for Kids and Families. Super fun and hilarious game to play on game night.
T(w)eens are fun to play games with. No, really! Get them going, and they are all in. Bounce-Off is the ultimate head-to-head competition game. You race to recreate the pattern on the challenge card by bouncing balls into the grid. The first color to complete the pattern wins the card! Active and fun!
Get ready for a hilarious and unpredictable game night. Quelf is a board game that gives Random a new name. Winner of over 6 awards, including Board Game Of The Year, Quelf will make you laugh until you cry! We played it the other night and had a blast! Even our son, who's tough to please, had a good time and cracked a smile.
There are no right or wrong answers, just read each card aloud and follow the instructions!
Taboo challenges you to guess words and phrases. You lose a point if you use any of the Taboo words. It's that simple. When the describer uses any Taboo words, someone uses the squeaker to squeak at them. Our kids love that part!
A new game that is fun to play is What Do You Meme? Family Edition. The hilarious game you know and love, now with all the R-rated content removed for family-friendly fun.

This toy fits comfortably in your hand for hours of mind-challenging fun. Plus, it's highly rated by fans!

These are all really great ideas for teens and tweens. I have a few of them myself and find that they get harder to shop for every year because they become very finicky at this age. Thank you for all the great ideas and Happy Holidays!
Erin
Yes, I know what you mean...they do get harder to shop for! Happy holidays to you, Mary!
