We are saying goodbye to 2021 and hello to 2022 and this time of year means one thing to parents \u2013 the children are all off school for two weeks. While family activities will take up a lot of the festive season, and rightly so, we all get sick of each other sometimes and if you have a Nintendo Switch in the house, there are some great games your kids will love.<\/p>\n

Of all the consoles, the Nintendo Switch feels the most family-friendly anyway just by design, and the back catalogue of characters that Nintendo has to mine are also, generally speaking, geared towards children as well as adults \u2013 which means you have a ton of things to choose from.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve narrowed it down to just 7 (we could have gone on all day) but these are solid choices they will be sure to love \u2013 and give you some peace and quiet while they play.<\/p>\n

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser\u2019s Fury<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser\u2019s Fury<\/a> is a game that we cannot even begin to describe highly enough. The massively popular WiiU game is here on the Switch and it feels like an entirely different experience \u2013 but the dastardly Bowser is still around to cause trouble.<\/p>\n
There are so many things to do in single-player or multiplayer so not only will it take a lot of time to finish everything, but it\u2019s all some of the most fun you can have on the console and that goes double for Mario fans.<\/p>\n

Animal Crossing New Horizons<\/a> is a massive game and one of the most popular titles in gaming \u2013 arriving right at the start of the first 2020 lockdown certainly helped it gain traction.<\/p>\n
The whimsical, light-hearted game has you set up a new home on an island that you get to name, and from there the adventure is all yours. You\u2019ll populate your home, design areas, make new friends, party and, honestly, the list goes on as there have been so many updates, including massive ones, that it is nigh on impossible to run out of things to do completely.<\/p>\n
