Board games for a 6 year old

Does anyone have any recommendations for board games for a 6 year old for Xmas? She has Guess Who, Candyland and Snakes and Ladders and a bingo style game.

How about Catan Junior? I haven't played the junior version - I've played the adult Catan game which is great. https://www.catan.com/junior

Maybe for next Christmas "7 Wonders Architects"? I've just visited my grandson who is 7 1/2 and he loves it.

Junior

CATAN Junior is for families with children ages 6-9. Simplified building rules, child-oriented trading, and a more innocuous robber equivalent called the “Ghost Captain" provide access to the world of CATAN games.

Catan Junior is a good game. Cluedo Junior is also good fun and quite logical.

I second labyrinth and frustration

Bugs in the kitchen was another fave

Second junior monopoly

My kids love Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza.

Uno is also a firm fav if you don’t have it.

These are card games rather than board games but very popular in our house.

Dobble is one of our recent acquisitions. My 5 year old loves it.

caringcarer · 19/11/2023 21:38

Junior Boggle
Dopple
Shut the box
Draughts/chess
Junior Monopoly
Top Trumps are good too but not a board game.

caringcarer · 19/11/2023 21:38

Also 4 in a row.

My DD really enjoyed Bee Genius when she was 6, and has just received the Genius Square. Bee Genius is a single player game so good when they want to do something like that but you're not in the mood!

Junior monopoly. Mine also loved the Orchard toys games (Pizza Pizza in particular) but at 6 they might be getting a bit old.
