Might depend on the age of the "younger family members". What would appeal to a teenager might not appeal to a 6-yr-old and vice versa. For the younger set, an array of pictures and "Find your Mommy". Or a variation on Chutes and Ladders with family members being the pitfalls and havens. For the 10 to 15 set, try Family Trivial Pursuit. Don't fight nature with the 16-21s, hand 'em a portable CD player and some CDs. Someone I know put together a music and entertainment show that surprised a lot of the teens -- most of whom didn't realize the sound track for their favorite commercial had once been #1 on the Billboard.
