Wii again

But I'm only one generation away from those who used to play hopscotch in their spare time.

hopscotch is hundreds of times better than ludo and snakes and ladders.
Only purpose ludo and snakes and ladders have is to teach kids how to count

One ? Another illusion sadly shattered. I thought you still played.

Which is why it should be in the school curriculum.

Denny, my kids are 16 and 17, so wont be happy to sit down to board games at this age, when they can more interesting stuff like chatting to friends on msn etc..

However the board games are really good for when on family holidays and not a huge lot to do at the evenings.

Anyway, Pool game is best IMO for the purpose, can be played by 1 person or by a team, social and fun.

what I find about the Wii games in general is that they are sometimes physical ie u have to stand up and swing about to play some games so it makes them quite social experiance on the 2 player.

I dont understand why the weather is stopping you from doing your other outdoor activities.
Mud and bogs makes mountain biking more fun and a sharp frosty day makes for clear weather and terrific views across the majestic lakeland fells.
Embrace the weather in all its glory for it is what makes this such a green and pleasant land.

Dodgy weather is also a good excuse to call short a day out and to spend the rest of the day in a quaint country pub.

Wii Boxing, let your kids batter each other senseless without landing a blow

Wonderful little console, I would highly reccomend it.
