NATIONAL GAMES AND PUZZLE WEEK

While the family is gathering for Thanksgiving, it's time for National Game and Puzzle Week.

#GameAndPuzzleWeek

It's an excellent time to break out the board games and puzzles. With so many family and friends gathered in one place, set up a tournament. Get conversations started with complex puzzles. Puzzles and games keep the brain sharp after carbohydrate loaded meals. Cousins and siblings challenge each other in a variety of card and board games. At the same time, they learn who has the best memory and who is the sleuth. Of course, someone is always a strategist, and then there's the quiet one who comes from behind and wins it all.

Every family member can play, too! From grandparents to the youngest, get everyone involved in some way.
