I’m not a huge gamer, but my kids and husband LOVE them! We spend many weekend evenings sitting around our kitchen table playing some type of game. Keep in mind that I have a (just turned) 6 year old and a 7 year old.
We have found a few that even my newly turned 6 year old can play, so I thought I would share some of our favorites!
Here’s our list of fun family games:
Sleeping Queens
The girls favorite game right now is called Sleeping Queens. I would say it has a lot of similarities to Old Maid. One of the best features is that to discard more than one card, you have to be able to do basic addition and subtraction. My kindergartener is still learning so we will help her with math sometimes. This game is fairly quick too!
Some of the other games that we can play together as a family are:
Uno
It’s recommended for 7+, but most kids over the age of 5 could pick up on the this game easily.
Cat in the Hat I Can Do That! Game
I would much rather watch people play this game than participate! 😉 It’s an active game that you have to do silly things…the kids think it hilarious!
Spot It
This game is perfect for a younger age group. The recommended age is 7+ but I think it is great for younger kids too.
Enchanted Forest
I’m not a huge fan of this game but my daughters like it. It’s a memorization game so it’s good to sharpen your mind! 😉
Have you ever played a cooperative game as a family? These types of games are played as a group and you have a common enemy (normally determined by the roll of a dice). Cooperative games are also a fun way to improve communication skills and inspire cooperation. Our favorites are:
Castle Panic
Forbidden Island
And then there are few games that only my older daughter can play. Normally we will still play together as a family, but my youngest will just partner with one of us. Some of these will depend on the maturity of your child but they are all a lot of fun!
Clue
The Settlers of Catan
SKIP BO
The Game of Life Board Game

Even though I’m not a huge fan of playing games, I do it because it’s a great way to spend quality time with my family! We are making memories that my kids will remember forever!
Is there a game you would recommend we try?
My girls are 11 and 7. They are just getting the hang of a dominoes game called ‘Mexican Train’. (So politically correct, right?) We like Yahtzee, too. If you have a large family or have friends over, Disney Cranium is a blast. But our very favorite is the extremely fast-paced ‘Wig Out’. I swear, we all get so into that game, I have had to break out the Band-aids a few times while playing it!
Suzanne, thanks for all the suggestions! We are always on the lookout for a new game. My oldest normally gets them as presents and her birthday is coming up…I think we will try Wig Out!
We like Pit, Ticket to Ride, Racko, and Farkle as well. My girls are 12, 10, 7, 5. Fobidden Island is really a big hit in our family.
Sorry, forgot to say thank you for the other ideas! We love playing games 🙂
We as a family LOVE games and almost play them every night! Some of our favorites are Uno,” Rat a Tat Cat”, and Farkel.
We haven’t played the Farkel, but it’s on our list!!
Our family also has a 7 year old girl and a five very soon to be six year old boy and these are the games we like to play as a family that are not on your list, we play many of the same ones that you do:
Spy Alley
Blokus
Game of Life
My First Carsassone
Kittens in a Blender (the children like to save them all because they are so cute)
Magic Labyrinth
We’re in Ontario Canada
Thanks for the suggestions!!!
