These are fun moments you can share while bonding as a family. According to Reserve America, play a few family reunion games to make this gathering one to remember.

They are not only enjoyable for people of all ages, but they also make wonderful memories and cause a lot of laughing.

You don't need to leave the house to have family fun. Looking to have fun while staying at home? Check out these enjoyable activities for families that you can do at home.

Below are the games that you can do together:

• Make a family album

Establish a space where individuals can come together to work on crafts in between events and meals. The best spot to put up would be in a second screened-in tent big enough to house a family or a pop-up shelter. Request that copies of any family photos be brought so that they can be assembled into a family photo album. Encourage everyone to personalise their own pages during the course of the weekend.

• The banana game

Request the line-up of all participating family members. Put a baseball (or a similar hard type of ball) in front of each player, then tie a thread around a banana and suspend it from each player's waist so that it hangs just above the ground. Swinging the banana such that it lands on the ball requires the participation of the hips. The winner is the first player whose ball crosses the 9-metre-distance finish line. Although that seems weird, it's hilarious.

• Play Ball

Because they allow everyone to play together, group ball games are some of the best family reunion activities. Some games that are simple to prepare for are:

• Soccer
• Volley Ball
• Rugby
  
• Water balloon toss

This family reunion game is essential on warm days. Each person should choose a partner andstand facing them. Beginning with your feet 60cm apart, take one step backafter each toss. The winning team is the one who cans the balloon the farthest without having it pop.

Having rewards ready for the winners is always enjoyable; even something simple and silly will do.

• Egg Race

The egg race is a favourite activity at family reunions and works well with large groups. Each person should choose a partner, face them, and then take a position around 60 centimetres apart. All participants are required to eat with spoons. The first player puts an egg on a spoon and passes it to their teammate who is standing across from them. Without letting the egg drop, they must move it from their spoon to that of their buddy. To win, the teammate must then run the egg back to the opposing side.

Everyone is competing against one another, and your team is eliminated if you drop the egg.

• Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt can involve looking for and gathering particular items and deciphering clues that reveal hidden treasures. You can make this as simple and complex as you like. Children can play alone or in groups of two or more if you want to foster relationships between siblings and cousins.

They may have the following items on their list:

• A specific variety of locally indigenous leaves or flowers
• Firewood kindling
• Recycling-friendly trash
• bark from a pine tree
• Forage mushroom
• a signature from the reunion's oldest participant(let the kids figure out who it is)

You can generate hints that they must decipher along the route if you want to get fancy.

A quick tip: Establish boundaries by stating that children must remain within 50 or 100 feet of the campsite or within the visual range of the camping area.

Family Trivia

Before the reunion, send a questionnaire to every family member to gather information. You can use this to make a list of interesting facts to bring up at the reunion.

Divide the group into various teams during the gathering; the number and size of teams will depend on how big your family is. This can be done in a Jeopardy-style format, or you can play conventional trivial pursuit by taking turns asking each side a question.

You can create categories such as:

• Love and Marriage
• Work Life
• Sports
• Art and History
• Middle Names

Detention (what different people have gotten in trouble for over the years—stick to minor, funny offenses)

And here are some sample trivia questions:

Grandma and Grandpa got married in which year?

Uncle Ernest played soccer for which position on the college team?

Someone in this group has always wanted to be a Nurse, who is it?
