How to Throw a Game Show Party

Here's my current political projection: a lot more people are going to feel a lot safer at home, and a lot of them are going to want most of their entire, extended family with them. Consequently, games that whole families can play, and games the kids can go off somewhere and play, will become increasingly valuable family assets.

As Major FUN, Defender of the Playful, I have no choice but to reprioritize. I have been forced to launch "Operation Family Sanity."

Luckily, there is much good news.

Here, for example, is a publication that should be considered for every family's mental survival kit: Mike Suchcicki's How to Throw a Game Show Party. Mr. Suhcicki is the virtual proprieter of Pfunn.com. (Click on that website with caution. It connects you to a weblog and the tip of a virtual iceberg of humor resources and fun commentaries.)

It turns out that just about every TV Game Show you can think of can be a game almost the whole family can play. OK, maybe not Jeopardy, with the 3-year old, and Uncle Fred, but how about Family Feud or Hollywood Squares or maybe even Pyramid?
