Siblings have ups and downs but are family, making them essential. They may not be your only friend, but they are probably the most predictable ones—you know what to expect from them, at least more than anyone else in your life. That’s why taking advantage of every opportunity to get closer to them and learn more about who they are is essential. One way of doing that is by playing games with each other regularly! Here are 10 sibling games to get to know each other better.

The Alphabet Game

Start by writing down the letters of the alphabet on pieces of paper. Give each sibling a letter and have them ask each other questions beginning with that letter. Let them answer however they like, whether short or long, funny or serious. For example, if your sister was assigned A, she might ask you: Are you feeling okay?

Where in the world would you like to go

Ideally, you want your dream vacation location to be entirely new and unexplored for you and your sibling in Sibling Games. Picking a place like this will allow for an all-new experience together and give you some time just by yourselves in the process! To pick the perfect destination, make sure it’s somewhere that offers things for everyone in the group. Be prepared with a list of ideas (reasons) why this specific place is perfect.

Would you rather…

Would you rather always have gumballs in your pockets or carry around a hamster in your shirt?

I would rather have gumballs in my pockets because I’m allergic to hamsters.

If we were all famous for something…

• What was your best day ever?
• What is one thing that you are good at doing?
• If we were all famous for something, what would it be?

If you could get rid of one law

If I could eliminate one law, it would be the American Disabilities Act. In my opinion, if a person can perform their job and do things alone without help from others (no matter how difficult), they shouldn’t be considered disabled and prohibited from taking on any new jobs or positions.

Would you do this differently if you knew everyone was watching

But really, the internet is a powerful tool. Yes, it opens you up to criticism and judgment. That’s why I always ask myself these 10 questions before posting anything. I believe they can help shape and influence your decisions around what you post on social media– especially if you’re a business owner or in a leadership role.

1) What do I want people to know about me? – One of the most important things we can do for ourselves is be honest about who we are and what we want from our lives. You can’t go wrong by asking yourself this question as many times as needed throughout the day!

Who would you take with you if

Who would you take with you if you were going on a hike? Who would you want at your wedding? Who would you want by your side if someone came into your home and threatened your life? If it was Christmas Eve, who would be the first person to call or text? Think of the essential things in your life and try each question on a different sibling in Sibling Games.

If you have siblings, you probably remember spending time together as kids playing games like house and tag. Those were fun and all, but there are many other games you can play with your siblings now to get to know each other better as adults. Siblings spend so much time together that it’s easy to take them for granted, but don’t let your sibling relationships stay stagnant.

Who was the first person I talked to when they came home from school?

When my brother came home from school, the first person he talked to was the dog. My sister usually asked me to help her with homework when she came home from school. But, sometimes, I would just read a book.

What did I want most of all in life when I was tiny?

I wanted to be loved. Every night, I would lay in bed and stare at my ceiling, hoping that a beam of light would appear and shine on me, showing me love. It never happened for some reason; instead, my life was filled with darkness.

What did I want most when I was younger? That’s right! I wanted the attention of a mother or father figure! It didn’t matter who it was as long as they gave me the time of day! But now that I am older, if someone doesn’t have time for me, it makes me feel worthless.

What got me into trouble with Mommy/Daddy as a kid?

I would hit my brother if he took something from me, even if he borrowed it. I knew how to share with him but didn’t want to make an effort to get him a toy or game for his birthday or Christmas. 

To avoid arguments, I would typically give in and let him have whatever we were fighting over so that my mom could concentrate on other things around the house.

What was my favorite pastime when I was growing up at home?

Growing up, I had one main pastime: playing with my sibling. Although he was the only sibling I ever had, I know how hard it is for a child to grow up with two or more brothers or sisters because of the games they play together that cause so much trouble. From what he told me, my parents and other adults would get mad at him and threaten to ground him, but we always thought it was just a joke.

Who were my best friends when I grew up at home, and why were they, my friends?

I loved hanging out with my sister because she was so laid back. I could always count on her to be there for me and to take it easy because we knew that life was hard. My best friends were also laid back and a good match for me; they were always happy and optimistic even when things got tough. They encouraged me when I needed it, too.

Where did we go on our family vacations, and what did I like most about each vacation spot?

Our first vacation was to Myrtle Beach, SC. My favorite part of the trip was renting a car and driving up to Virginia Beach, VA. I liked seeing the ocean for the first time in person and eating chocolate chip pancakes with my family.

What makes me cry these days easily?

I’ve always been the stronger one in my family. I’m the oldest, and I’ve been that for a long time. The way I see it, I have two responsibilities. One is to be there for my family. The other is to stand up for them in every situation. It’s not easy, but when they need me, and they call me, I will always come to them no matter what has happened before.

Which time would be the easiest for me to get along with them (regarding their age)?

Middle school is one of the most influential years in children’s lives as they transition from childhood to adolescence. It can be a challenging time for both children and parents. However, it doesn’t have to be. With these tips, parents can help their pre-teens successfully navigate this time by addressing this stage’s six most common complaints.
