Do you mean console games or all sorts of stuff? Ds plays fifa on ps4. And watches YouTube but good knows what as he wears headphones

formerbabe · 24/10/2018 10:25

Football?

haba · 24/10/2018 10:27

DS loves reading, Lego, Minecraft, Star Wars, hockey, music.
Is this for Christmas inspiration?

TheWoollybacksWife · 24/10/2018 10:29

DS is 11. He likes football, reading, Star Wars, chocolate and of course Fortnite.

SockEatingMonster · 24/10/2018 10:34

DS is 9 and loves nerf (water guns, dart guns and/or the new laser guns), monopoly, game of life and other similar board games, triops, ant farming(!), stuff with his football team logo on, bath bombs, his footbath and massage chair(!), body shop lotions and potions, Lynx(!) and Japanese or American sweets.

SockEatingMonster · 24/10/2018 10:34

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 24/10/2018 10:39

Mine likes rock music (playing and listening) so potential to but posters and t shirts etc, Lego (but already has too much), reading (Alex Rider and the author Maz Evans). And maybe outdoor stuff eg torch, fire making stuff.

LadyFlangeWidget · 24/10/2018 11:09

Er cycling...playing football kick about.. messing around in woods... chestnut hunting... doesn't have to involve tech.
3d ravensburger puzzles are brilliant...

Juanbablo · 24/10/2018 12:30

Ds1 is 11 this week and is super into football, FIFA, writing and drawing, cycling, running.

BWatchWatcher · 24/10/2018 12:46

Making movies, reading, cycling and nintendo switch.

Catlover97 · 24/10/2018 12:50

Book suggestions for 11 yr olds - DS is ploughing his way through all of the Anthony Horowitz books (Power of 5, Alex Rider) and will happily re-read Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates over and over and over....

IHeartKingThistle · 24/10/2018 12:55

DS 9 - rock music, playing guitar, football, Harry Potter / Fantastic Beasts, Greek Legends

Myrnafoy · 24/10/2018 13:00

Drawing, reading and watching anime, listening to music, YouTube science stuff, swimming, playing his piano

OneOfTheGrundys · 24/10/2018 13:02

We, oddly, have had a board game resurgence. Led by ‘Bounce Off’ and ‘Exploding Kittens’. Hmm

And PS4, obvs.

I have a 10 year old, yes he's into Fortnite but spends a lot of time out on his bike or his scooter.
