  • Or, for a fun, but quieter family game night, look to any of the 20+ redesigned Professor Noggin card games, like Outer Space!
  • If you're more of a sit back and watch TV kind of family, visit our Watch Videos page or YouTube and play along with pedestrians “on the street” as they answer questions from our trivia board game: American Trivia Family Edition and Canadian Trivia Family Edition.  You'll learn lots of fun facts about Canada and the US, and probably share some giggles too.
  • Parents in need of active kids game for wee ones should try Picture Charades; there's no reading required! But, if you want to sit and play a board game, choose one of our preschool and early education games from Noggin Playground. We have a fantastic cooperative board game called Dragon Dash where fearless knights traverse Dragonwood to create a safe path for all. 

Board games are a great way to spend time together, off-screen.  So whether you're looking for laugh out loud fun or a simpler quiet night together, we have something for everyone.
