As a parent of a five-year-old and a seven-year-old, we fostered a love of video games from a very young age and now have two additional gamers. We have used family gaming to stay connected and bond. Now, instead of our kids waking up early on the weekends for Saturday morning cartoons (anyone else used to love the show Bobby’s World?), my kids run...
Parents can also use video games as a tool to pose complex philosophical and moral questions to create a dynamic context for learning and development. For example, character behavior in video games can bring up questions and responses on acceptable choices and the consequences that ensue after such actions. Video games also provide an opportunity f...

1. Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
This 3D Mario takes everything you loved about the classic 2D side scroller but opens it up to a whole new multiplayer world where everyone can play at the same time. Mario and his friends can use fun power-ups such as turning into a cat with a super bell, climbing up walls, and scratching. This game has dozens of color stages to explore and pounce through. This game can be played with the whole family, up to four players, and is excellent for siblings or parents and children. Rating: E (Ever...
2. Super Mario Party Superstars
This is a perfect party game for a family fun night. It contains the original board game style layout with some more engaging features such as dice blocks for each character, chances for allies, and other built-in elements to make each turn exciting. The mini-games are a hoot to play with your kids and some of them work with fine motor skills and physical engagement. Sometimes you will be on the same team and other times you will be competing against each other. Rating: E (Everyone) Max Playe...
3. Super Mario Bros U Deluxe
Classic Mario Bros update to the Nintendo Switch. All the familiar nostalgia classic of the 2D side scroller, so it is easier to navigate than a 3D game. The screen becomes a bit too hectic if there are more than four players, but then again, it adds to the fun. Rating: E (Everyone) Max Players: 4 User Score (fromwww.metacritic.com): 80/100 Where to Get: Can be purchased on Amazon, at most large retail stores, and on your Nintendo Switch console.
13. Portal 2
Portal 2 is a first-person perspective co-op challenging puzzle game. At first, it can be pretty confusing, but once you get the hang of it, the puzzles are exciting and mind-bending. By using portals to manipulate space and solve puzzles, this is a great way to introduce your child to physics, cause and effect, as well as puzzle solving in one’s own pace. Fun fact, this was the very first game my daughter beat on her own, at the age of six and I still don’t understand this game! A great game...
14. Unravel 2
In this co-op game, you play as a “yarny” (a character made of yarn) and it is an adventurous puzzle game. Most of the puzzles require the players to work cooperatively to solve them. For example, one “yarny” will need to stand on one side of the fallen branch and the other “yarny” will jump down creating a catapult to launch the original “yarny” on a high ledge. The “yarny” that was launched up will then need to lower its yarn for the other “yarny” to climb up. Rating:E (Everyone) Max Player...
15. Rocket League
Super fun and easy family game. In this game, you are essentially playing soccer with cars, and you can bump and crash the cars out of your way to try and score the goal. Unravel 2 includes plenty of fun ariel maneuvers and exciting last-minute quests to keep the whole family at the edge of their seat. Rating: E (Everyone) Max Players: up to 8 User Score (fromwww.metacritic.com): 86/100 Where to Get: Can be played on PlayStation, XBOX, and Nintendo Switch and can be downloaded here.
