The objective of Skip-Bo is simple: be the first player to play every card in your Stockpile by playing them in numerical order, 1 to 12.

A great family game as well as a great game to take on trips!

While wearing a card in the band on your head (that you haven’t seen!), ask the other payers yes or no questions to determine what you are!

Phase 10!

Phase 10 is a rummy-type card game with a challenging twist!

My kids love to play Phase 10 and skip-Bo when they go to their grandparent’s house.

They have so much fun with both of these games:)

 

Hold On Scooby-Doo

Hold on Scooby-Doo is a great game!

I actually really like playing this one:)

The goal is to push out blocks in the wall without letting Shaggy and Scooby-Doo fall!

Who will be the one to knock them down?!

This is also a great game to play with not only kids ages 5-12, but a great game to include younger siblings in as well.

My four year old loves to play with us:)

 

Who Is It?

This game makes kids think and notice details!

Ask questions to determine who your opponent’s person is.

Ask yes or no questions such as:

“Does your person have a hat?”

“Does your person have a mustache?”

First person to guess the correct character wins the round!

 

Sorry!

Chase your opponents around the board as you try to be the first person to get all four of your pieces home!

A great board game for family game night!

This is a game that my kids also love to play while at their grandparent’s house:)

 

Battleship!

This game is a classic!

Try to guess your opponent’s positions and sink their battleships!

This is a game that kids have been playing for years that is still popular. Definitely a must-have game to add to your game night rotation!

 

Pictionary!

This is actually a game that all ages can play!

We played this game recently at my parent’s birthday party.

Even my four year old played with us. For younger kids someone will have to tell them what their card reads, but once they know what it says, watch them draw!

This is a great game for encouraging artistic ability and creative thinking.

Everyone will be laughing and frantically calling out guesses before the timer runs out!

Definitely add this to your game collection!

And that is 10 of the best board games for kids!
