Default Board Games?
I'm so tired of Candy Land and Uno. We need some new games. Our girls are 5 & 6 (almost 7). The 5 year old hates games - she'd rather watch. But what are some games you like to play as a family.

We are getting Headbandz, Connect 4, Guess Who and Operation for Christmas. Any others? I thought about Sorry.

we love apples to apples kids - even though sam couldn't read well until last year we'd just help him.
headbanz is beyond fun!
my boys love sorry and trouble.

Glad you already have Connect 4 and Guess Who on your list. We love those!

Others to consider are...... Trouble, Cranium for kids, and Sorry Sliders.

sorry and pictureka are favorites. Even the 3 year old can play them with a little help. The 8 year old enjoys scrabble and is getting monopoly for Christmas.

Phase 10 (with dice) and the Allowance Game (from Lakeshore Learning) are favorites around here with my 6.5 year old.

Sequence and another favorite here is Whoonu. It helps if they can read but if you have enough people that someone could pair up to help read it has been surprisingly fun -- and a great family game because you learn more about each other's likes and dislikes.
