Spending time together as a family in today's fast-paced world is quite invaluable. With all the technology at our fingertips and the amount of entertainment there is easy access to, getting the family together to do something old-school can be a chore. However, these card games for families are guaranteed to be fun and have the kids begging for more family time.

Go Fish is a classic game with cards that everyone is sure to enjoy. It is best played with three to six players. If there are less than four players, each player is dealt seven cards. However, for more than four players, each player gets five cards.

Place the rest of the cards into the 'pond' pile. If you or any other player doesn't get the card they need when it's their turn, this is the pile they have to draw from during the game. Everyone gets a chance to ask someone else for a specific card. If they have it, then they must hand it over. If they don't, then they tell the person asking, 'Go Fish!' and they must go in the pile. Whoever ends up with the most sets of four when the pile is done wins.

Another easy but fun card game is Memory. Other names for this game are Concentration and Pairs. As all names suggest, players must take turns to try and picking matching pairs of cards. The cards are placed face down in a random order.

If the cards don't match, they are returned face down and it's the next player's turn. If they do match, the player gets to keep the pair of cards and have another turn. The player with the most pairs at the end of the game wins.

A game for a much bigger group of people is UNO. There are lots of cards in this special deck, which isn't like a regular pack. The UNO deck features cards with different numbers, colors and symbols which allow for different game strategies. Everyone gets 7 cards and the remainder are put in a pile, with a starter card facing up to begin the game.

The starter card is what dictates what the first player should play. They have to match the card's number or color, or if they cannot do this, they can take one from the pile and let the next person play. A player can also use one of several special cards to change the play order or even dictate the color to play next. It is quite easy once players get the hang of it, but it also becomes very strategic.

These are just a few games that a family can try to connect outside of watching TV or playing video games. They are good games to teach kids, and can be used on long journeys in the car or on a plane to kill some time. It's also a great way to bond with the rest of the family.
