Mix it up
Use decade sorting, parent-child matching or one-clue hints.
Make it a great round
Use photos only with the permission of the people involved.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
