Games

I like to organize.

There I said it.

I am sometimes a little obsessive with it.  I often get teased in my family for it.  Dh will not do things like unpack (or if he does, he asks permission) because he knows I like to organize.

I know, weird hobbies, but that is mine.  (ha ha)

The other day I was browsing pintrest and came upon an idea that would let me organize some more...YAY said me!

This lady had taken all her games and condensed them into one box. 

We have alot of games.  I use many games in school, and we like to play games as a family.  We have games to play alone, games with just a few players, and games for many.

What a great idea it would be to get them all in one box thought I.

This is one of my boxes:


I managed to fit over 22 games in there.  (I think it is 24)

I wanted to put dividers in there, but I couldn't fit as many if I did, so I went with baggies and elastic bands.

I also had some that had bigger board games though that wouldn't fit in there so I had to get a longer container.  So, over 60 games in two containers!  Yahoo!

I thought it would be fun to tell you some of our favorite games.

Scrabble Scoop (great for my youngest)
Upwords
Pick Two
Super Scrabble (way more tiles and bigger board for longer game play)
Rook (classic "Mormon" game)
Clue (both the card game and the board version)
Settlers of Catan
Sequence
Monopoly Deal
Sorry (the card version is our fav, but we like the board one too)

I know we have many more games that we love but those are the ones we keep coming back to.

How about you?  What is your favorite organizational tool?  How about your favorite game?  I would love to hear about them.  We are always looking for more ideas.

Cheers
