In the Latin some of us learned in school, familias is the accusative plural form of the word familia, which means "household" or "family." (The accusative is the form used for the object of a verb or of certain prepositions.)

Familias is also a form, already old-fashioned in classical times, of the genitive singular of familia (thus "of the household/family"), and this is its meaning in the common Latin compound word paterfamilias, literally "father of the household."

What does the Latin phrase 'Lucius adulescentulus cum pueris familiae ad ludum ambulavit' mean in English?

The English equivalent of the Latin sentence 'Lucius adulescentulus cum pueris familiae ad ludum ambulavit' is the following: The young Lucius walked to the game with the boys of his family. The first word, 'Lucius', is a proper noun, as the name 'Lucius'. Otherwise, the word-by-word translation is as follows: 'adulescentulus' means 'adolescent'; 'cum' means 'with'; 'pueris' means 'boys'; 'familiae' means 'of the family'; 'ad' means 'to'; 'ambulavit' means '[he] walked'.Other interpretations exist. Puer is frequently used in the plural to mean "children" regardless of sex; the original signification of familia is "household" (including, and sometimes restricted to, the household slaves); and luduscan mean "elementary school". Thus, if appropriate in context, this sentence could equally well be translated "Young Lucius walked to school with the children of the household."
