Turn 30 Days Into 30 Family Memories
Welcome to our 30 day board game challenge activity for families. Are you looking for family bonding activities as a way to connect or just alternative options for screen free time for families? You’re in the right place. Our 30-Day Board Game Challenge is designed especially for families with younger children—think ages 3 to 10 years—and it’s packed with simple, creative prompts to spark imagination, build teamwork, and bring a whole lot of laughter to your home.
This isn’t about who wins or loses—it’s about connecting, playing together, and making memories along the way and possibly helping to fill in the holidays. It may be that you are looking for new activities to do as a family or fun activities for families—either way, this is a fun way to bring some excitement and flexibility into your family connection time.
You can also use this 30 day board game challenge as a way to help improve word knowledge with preschoolers with word board games or board games that improve fine motor skills, or step outside for fun outdoor activities for families with giant outdoor games.
How does the 30-Day Board Game Challenge work?
Each day of the board game challenge brings a new, bite-sized challenge. Some are as easy as picking a favorite game. Others might ask you to invent a mini award, play in a silly voice, or invite a friend.
The board game challenges marked in red may take a little extra planning (like swapping games with a friend or recording a fun video), so feel free to move those around to suit your week.
You can print the calendar, add stickers, write in your game of the day, or just follow along casually—whatever works for your family.
Share your Family Play
This challenge is about community, not just competition. We’d love to hear about your board game adventures. Here’s how to join in:
- Share your stories, photos, or videos of your family doing the challenges.
- Tag us on social media so we can cheer you on.
- Prefer to share privately? Head to our Contact Us Page to send your updates directly to us.
We’d love to feature some of your stories (with permission, of course) to help inspire other families.
Share Your Own Ideas
Do you have a brilliant board game challenge that other families would love? I’d love to make our calendar even more fun.
Drop your suggestions via our Contact Page or comment on our social posts—we might include them in our next version of the challenge.
Let the Fun Begin
This was designed for longtime game lovers or those wanting to get started. I want the challenge to introduce variety and fun into your routine, which could also be used to help make educational games fun. I aimed to make it friendly, flexible, and packed with playful prompts younger kids will enjoy.
So gather your board games, clear off the table, and get ready for 30 days of laughs, learning, and connection.
