We play a lot of games at our house. There are a lot of good game options for really young kids, and we have enjoyed many of them. However, now that the girls are getting a little bit older, our game options are increasing and I couldn't be more excited. Maybe, just maybe, I will only be called to play Memory fifty times a day instead of seventy five. (Seriously, my girls are crazy about memory).
These are a few of our favorite games that I am sure would make great holiday gifts!
Games for Toddlers and Preschoolers
(though my school-age daughter still loves them too!)
 |
| The Picnic Game: Try to create a balanced meal on your plate before the ants steal your food. It even comes with an adorable mini table cloth that my girls love! |
 |
| Animal Bingo: One of the first games my girls were able to play. I personally adore the illustrations! |
 |
| A lovely version of Memory - and I would know because I have only played it ten million times! |
 |
| Another fun version of Memory. I love this one because it always starts interesting discussions about other countries and cultures. |
 |
| The Head to Toe game by Eric Carle is a great way to get the little ones moving and learning the parts of the body. |
 |
| The Princess and the Pea Game by Haba. Much loved by my girls! |
Games for Elementary Kids
 |
| Tell Me A Story - Fairy Tale Mix-up. These story cards work well for pre-readers, but my little reader loves them too! They also have different story versions like Robots, Circus, etc. |
 |
| The Yoga Garden game is a fun cooperative game that also teaches yoga moves. |
 |
| An old favorite that is quickly gaining in popularity at our house! |
 |
| Rat a Tat Cat. I really feel like every time we play this game, we get smarter. Seriously. |
 |
| A good ol' favorite! |
 |
| We don't have this one yet, but we will soon. Shh, don't tell. It sounds like it will be a hit here! |
