As a boy mom, it’s no surprise that there’s a lot of Minecraft going on at our house. Both my boys love the game that lets them build and spawn whatever they want – and I like that it allows them to use their imaginations.
With the Minecraft movie out, I’m seeing more and more Minecraft parties among my boys’ friends, so I thought it’d be fun to put together a collection of the best Minecraft party ideas out there!
These ideas turn Minecraft into something you can do at home rather than just one of our favorite Nintendo Switch games!
