(NAPSA)—Finding fun games to play with the whole family can be a great way to spend time together—and help you score points with the kids at your next get-together. Here are a few ideas: Come Out Wherever You Are Try playing a gamelike “sardines,” which puts a fun twist on hide-and-seek. Here’s how it works: Every player except one is designated “It.” The “Its” close their eyes and count to 25 as the one person finds a hiding spot. After the count, the Its begin their search. When one of them finds the hider, he or she must join the hider in the hiding spot without being seen by the otherIts. As more Its find the hider, the spot will become increasingly crowded—hence the name “sardines.” The game ends when the last It finds the hiders (usually by following the soundof laughing). Just Shake It A video game for Nintendo Wii—one of the season’s top-selling game systems—called “Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party,” has a party-play mode that lets up to eight people compete at once.
