NanceXToo Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) It's time to sign up for the Million Minute Family Challenge! If you don't know, in the Million Minute Family Challenge, you register your family or group, enjoy face to face interaction by playing good, old-fashioned board games or card games at your leisure, and then go to the MMFC website to log your minutes in order to help them reach their nationwide goal of reaching one million minutes of game play! You will receive an organizer's kit by mail, you can see where your minutes stack up (nationwide, by your state, etc), and at the end, they even send you a free game for participating! For more information and to register, go here: http://www.millionminute.com/ (The actual challenge begins on September 1st). This will be my third year in a row participating. Who else is in? :) ETA: I put my group's name as "Life Without School" and set a goal of 500 minutes for my family. Let us know your group's name if you sign up!

TheReader Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I joined! I used our US address since it didn't have a way for those outside US/Canada. Hope it doesn't skew the results too badly, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmamainva Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I signed our family up! We're The Geeze Gang This is the first I've heard of it, but we play LOTS of games around here! We especially love Monopoly, Chess, and Trivial Pursuit and we usually spend at least 5 hours a week playing those...sometimes more...so I put 5,000 minutes as our goal for the year.
