Nancy is looking for wholesome games/activities for younger ones. 

 

I apologize Nancy for selecting the wrong quote above. I tried to fix it. Anyway...  

 

Since I know you a little, I think it's safe to say you are looking for fun wholesome games /activities for your teen age son and his friends?  Since we are talking about a young man, most likely he's interested in something that may not be sports like basketball, but still offers exercise. Is that correct? 

 

Can we help Nancy? What works for the young ones you all know?  What ideas have you found that might appeal to this demographic? 

 

Here is a suggestion for a capture the flag style game that does not use guns

We had a game day after the meeting today, the first one in some time. Everyone brings their card, board games, etc. I did something a bit different... I brought my laptop and a few controllers, asked another to bring some controllers, and managed to get some 4 player Puyo Puyo Tetris going. Might be easier if I had Nintendo Switch, but this is much cheaper. Tetris is still a beautiful thing, and puzzle games are wonderful for your cognition.

We play volleyball.  The younger ones around here have skate parties at the local skating rink. Some go ice skating. They also have theme parties. Bible characters, 70 or 80s dance parties.. I routinely have karaoke parties, but I don't know how much exercise is involved there.

 

Great idea, @Myew. Tetris will never get old!
