When it's too cold to go outside or we are having a quiet weekend at home, my family brings out their favorite board games. Below are our top 5 favorite board games.
1. Mouse Trap
Why my kids like it: They love to try and trap each others mice, and like building it along the way.

2. Candy Land

3. I Spy BusyTown Edition

4. Trouble

5. Sum of Which
