Cousins are a special kind of magic, aren’t they? They’re the people you grew up goofing around with, getting into harmless trouble, sharing family gossip, and surviving those long holiday dinners with. Whether your cousin is like a built-in bestie or someone you’re reconnecting with, one of the easiest ways to keep the bond alive is through laughter—and a little friendly competition.

Whether you’re hosting a weekend sleepover, doing a Zoom call from different cities, or sitting in the backyard at grandma’s house, this list will definitely spice up the night.
