what games do your kids like?

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
My girls are 4 and 6 and finally getting past the Candyland phase (thank goodness!!) and we have been playing a lot of UNO as well as checkers and Wildcraft. What other games should we check out? They are totally keeping up with all these games. What next?

twister, bingo and trouble are my 6 year olds favorites.

Crazy 8's, Old Maid, War, Connect 4, Yahtzee Jr, Kerplunk, Tip It, Battleship, Memory, Hungry, Hungry Hippos. My girls are 4, 6, and 8 and the 4 year old may not play them correctly, but she likes to set them up and "play" her own way. The older two play by according to the rules most of the time.

Monopoly Jr., Sorry, and Scrabble Jr. were favorites when my girls were that age.

I love Scrabble Jr. because on one side of the board you fill in the words with your letters turn by turn. Perfect for boosting reading and letter recognition.

Besides those mentioned, I'll add Guess Who. We have the regular board game version and the M & D Bear Who game. We love them both!

My ds (6) loves boardgames & card games....most of what was mentioned...
His favorite right now is definitely Sorry...his favorite card game is Skipbo (which I admit is much more fun than most).

Unfortunately he still enjoys CandyLand from time to time (sigh)...I wish a burgular would break in and steal just that game, seriously.
