Hi Everyone!

I am looking for a board game for DD (4) for christmas and I can't find one!

I have a DS (8) so they both play together nicely with these.

If they enjoy competing against each other how about trying a co-operative game where they have to work together to complete the game.

Something like one of these maybe?

Tamster150

UNO
Yahtzee
Rapidough - team game, bit like charades except you have to make the words with playdough rather than act the word out. Box says from 8 yrs up.

Was going to ask this exact question! Am not sure about junior scrabble as I think that might be too old for her, so wait for others to reply.

In the meantime we have junior monopoly - DD 4 loves it, and so do the grandparents!!!

Mummymoo - just dug out the Junior scrabble and played for the first time tonight with DD - she loved it and WON great game for developing letter recognition etc. We have the disney version so may ask for the standard one if people are struggling for gift ideas for her. As I think it may get quite repetative.

Thanks for all the suggestions think I am going to go with good old fashioned snakes and ladders and maybe UNO

Also like the look of the co-operation games - will look at these further.

Thanks guys! Christmas very nearly sorted:beer:

we had the first wightopoly lou , it was awful( although it did come out about 15 yrs ago). hope the new one is better, i love monopoly. very bad at it tho,lol


rapidough is excellent. good for kids. but when your slightly tipsey and playing it with a group of mates it is hillerous.

my kids love playing topsey turtle. his voice does get a bit frustration. but my son who is 2.5 started playing this about 18m, learn his colours really fast using it. my 5 yr old tho, gets very sneaky with it.but for diff age children it is a good game.

im pretty good at monopoly lol love it thought it would be good to buy a new game to replace my old one as it is looking a bit tattered and torn

**skinnyminny**

another vote for uno here and i would also reccomend Boggle, really good fun and helps with spelling

we have bought dd buckaroo, snakes and ladders, shark bite and jenga!

Argos chad valley games are about £5 each which is good value

jenga is fantastic my youngest loves it, she now wants the giant jenga for her bday lol
