Board games your 3 and 6 year old enjoy playing together?

Any recommendations for something simple enough for a 3 year old that a 6 year kid can enjoy too. Nothing that takes too long to set up or play. We have the usual orchard games and dominoes and snap but is there anything that yours love ?

Shark Bite and Tumbling Monkeys work pretty well for my two the same ages (until the 3 year old gets bored and knocks it all over Hmm ). And both good for fine motor skills.

Thanks so much. I’m getting dobble so far. Some of the reviews for pop up pirate seem to say it’s really flimsy and the swords fall out. Those of you recommending it would you say it’s ok?

Sleeping Queens was a massive hit with mine with a similar age gap.

Interested in this thread?

Shopping list.
Not a board game but "Hullabaloo".

All else ended in tears.

My two had card holders (they were just chunks of wood 25cm x1cmx1cm with a slit cut into one length which meant we could play card games.
We played uno with pictures rather than numbers (I think we had scooby doo uno) and strangely old maid has always gone done well.

Guess Who is a hit with mine, although you might have to help the 3 year old a bit! Feed the Woozle, Scavenger Hunt and Charades for Kids get played a lot too. Peppa pig muddy puddles is good too.

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone. The I saw it first is on my list with dobble and pop up pirates. This is so helpful

Orchard, snakes and ladders a bit, tummy ache is a good one, shopping list too (both orchard toys). Hungry hippos. They don’t always follow the rules!

Crocodile Dentist
Doh-nutters
Pop Up Pirate
Snakes and Ladders
Kerplunk
Og on the Bog
Labrynth is great but maybe too old for 3
