Fun Games to Play When You Are Tired

If you're tired after a long day of work, but want to find evening entertainment for yourself or for your family, just choose a game. No matter what situation you're in when you feel your energy waning, you can choose from an endless number of video, card, board or puzzle games that are simple and don't require much energy.

Video Games
- Playing video games is a good idea when you're tired because you can relax on your couch and play online games on your laptop or with a video game console. Many video games are played with little effort and allow you to play with others online and keep score online. Some video games to breeze through are Bricks, Spyro the Dragon, Super Mario Brothers, Space Invaders, Chicken Invaders, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man.
Card Games
- Playing card games is one of the ultimate low-energy activities. While card games like Poker and Canasta require much thinking and concentration, other games are simpler to play. Corral the kids on the bed for a casual game of Memory, Old Maid, Crazy Eight, Speed, Uno or Go Fish. Different versions of the old standby, Solitaire, can even be played alone.
Board Games
- If you're just not up to the mental challenge and activity level of board games like Monopoly or Cranium, choose from something effortless. Just roll the dice, move a piece or read cards for games like checkers, backgammon, Connect Four or Battleship. For a group game, choose multi-player games such as Chutes and Ladders, Yahtzee, Sorry!, Jenga, dominoes, Scrabble or Taboo.
Puzzle Games
- Puzzle games, whether you play them on your computer, online or on paper, are fun when you're tired because you can play them alone without the stress of competition. Some of the puzzle games that you can play include Minesweeper, Text Twist, Bejeweled, Tetris, Collapse, Cubis, Sudoku and Hangman. Of course, there are always crossword puzzles and word search games.
