How can families use their time together to stabilize their relationships while the world's outside forces tend to pull everyone in different directions? Play a family game where everyone is a winner.

The High - Low Game

It's not an official game with a board, a pair of dice and a set of rules. You can't buy it at Toys-R-Us or Wal-Mart. You can't find it in a box or on a shelf. But you do have all the required parts.

How to Play

Its a simple game. No matter where you are, all together, ask two questions of each child and wait for two answers from each.

"What is the high of your day?" "What is the low?"

At first it might be hard to get the discussion going, but you will learn so much about your children and each other by answering these two questions as you play the "High - Low" game. Its the perfect way to teach your children to share their day while they share their inner thoughts.

Two Rules

The first rule is that this game can be played anywhere. Sit at the kitchen table. Drive in the car. Sit on the couch in the living room. Picnic in the backyard. Bedtime pillow talk.

The second rule is that its essential to play every day. Make it a habit. Play it daily with your family members and you will enjoy the benefits of knowing each other, growing together as more understanding is passed from one to another.

Ongoing Benefits

Connecting with the members in our family can be a challenge. Our lives are fast paced with everyone running to this activity or that one. With the High - Low Game everyone wins and the victories last for years and years.
