Board Games

We have started playing a couple board games. We have tried Candyland and Hi-Ho Cherry-O. She does really good with Hi-Ho Cherry-O and ok with Candyland. (There is so much on the board it is hard to follow the path.)  I just bought Chutes and Ladders as a mom sale today for $2. Any other other board games your LO's have tried. Obviously we are looking for things with simple counting and/or colors. DD loves games, and I am looking for more to play with her. She does not always have the attention for the whole game, but she sometimes does and loves to play.

    I haven't really had played many board games with Noah yet, but I've been eyeballing Uno Moo (although I think it's still too old for him) https://www.amazon.com/Mattel-N7793-UNO-Preschool-Game/dp/B001UEWH9W/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2EPMAH3HN7MOJ&coliid=I1WMUPS10S7UAE

    And he does like Lucky Ducks: https://www.amazon.com/Lucky-Ducks-Sesame-Street-Edition/dp/B004UC4LRW/ref=pd_sim_t_20 although he doesn't always get the concept :)

     Have you played a Memory Game yet or Cooties?

    We have tried a memory game I got at the dollar store, but I don't have many other kids board games. I should go yard saleing! He does pretty well with memory, but loses interest about half way through.
    I used to be a big deal.  Now I'm just old.

    We haven't tried memory recently. I saw cooties at the sale today too, but I have not heard of it before so I did not buy it. I have seen UNO moo before, and heard good things but never played it.i will have to look for it too.

    Lucky Ducks is a big hit but so annoying. We are working on Memory. Originally I used 4 sets and had them face-up for him to match. Then we did 4 sets face-down. Now we're at 6 sets face-down.

    UnoMoo, Operation, and Ispy Bingo are favorites for DS2 right now.

    I didn't even think to start playing board games with G.  I should try to dig some of my old ones up from my parents house.  I remember we had that hungry hippos game which would be easy enough for G to play... but I'm sure B would just try to gobble up the balls lol.  I wonder if G would understand snakes and ladders.

    I just remembered I bought that for Noah when TRU was having a sale. I was going to save it for Christmas. I think he'll love that!

    I got "Sneaky Snacky Squirrel" on Amazon and have it tucked away to get out after the baby is born as a new toy to play with. It got good reviews and was on some lists for top toddler toys - I think it's similar to Hi Ho Cherry O.

    I hadn't thought about memory - I should get that because she plays something similar on Nana's iPad and does pretty good with the early rounds.

    Some great suggestions in this post!

    I haven't really thought about them being old enough for board games yet, either, but we do have a Thomas memory that DS likes to play & is good at.
