I think Continuo is a great game for practically any age (great for spatial thinkers and travel-compact). I never was much of a Scrabble fan until recently--our family had a lot of fun playing together and for younger kids you can either play on teams or use more letters (9 instead of 7). Card games are always fun too. If you have a bigger group, we enjoy Apples to Apples. One fast game I like is SmartMouth. If you have different ages playing together, we change the rules that the younger ones just have to find a 3 or 4 letter word minimum, while the older ones have to have 5 letter word minimum.
