Board games and cards are an excellent way to while away a few hours while you are waiting for the drizzle outside to stop. Many beach houses even stock cards and board games for just such occasions. For younger kids, play fun games like Go Fish and Memory. Older kids will enjoy playing more complex games such as Rummy, Hearts and Spades.
Jigsaw puzzles are another great way to spend some time when the weather is less than perfect outside. Clear off a table and have the whole family get involved in putting together a masterpiece. Before you know it, you will find yourself so engrossed in finding the right pieces that you will have forgotten all about the weather outside. One thing is definitely certain; your kids will probably develop an entirely new appreciation for ‘old-fashioned’ games that aren’t run by electronics.
