Board games for age 4-6 that aren't tedious?

[Sonolanona]

DGS is 5...very active little lad and always busy playing or being upside down somewhere which is fab, but I'd love to start playing some board games with him (I look after him and his little sister)
But...I'm not a board game fan myself and rather dreaded playing when my own kids were little. I need something not too complicated...and fun (and preferably slightly educational!) for those days when he's tired or I'm tired😁Any suggestions please?

The 'apologise for what pigeons brought out in yiu' made me laugh. Sounds like Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza might go down well in your house!

If you're looking for education people seem to rave about Ticket to Ride, never loved it personally, but they'll learn some geography 🤷🏼‍♀️

Enchanted forest
taco cat goat cheese pizza
geist blitz (kids are TONS better than me at this!)
cobra paw
Ok Play - this is a brilliant game
traitors tide
flip 7
frozen unicorns

also lots of card games if you play with them. Rummy and so on.

Orchard games - we’ve had loads over the years.

We both loved The Game of Ladybirds and Shopping List by Orchard Toys

Played with loads and still played with even when she's really too old for them

Also Peppa Pig monopoly
And Shape Snap, also from Orchard Toys
And Dominos

We like Ticket to Ride. The "First Journey" version is simpler and good for younger players but still enjoyable for adults.

Shopping list, monopoly junior and even uno at that age.

Pass the bomb junior
guess who
four in a row connections
dobble

Uno is fab, really is based on luck but really helps kids get used to losing and being resilient to it to go again! Has some nice basic counting too if you're interested in the maths side. Labyrinth was a great one for ages and we played this until they were in their teens. I was never very good at "playing" with my kids but we always enjoyed playing games and it teaches SO many skills as well as being fun.

Out foxed or dominoes are loved by our GS

Ive just bought the kids version for a Christmas present. My husband said the adult version is akin to monopoly and took about 4 hours to get through!

My niece just got a little card game called Dino Days that she loves.

Just discovered downfall! Having a lot of fun with it.

My sons (7 & 5) will play all the games listed above but the biggest winner in our family- POO BINGO. Honestly, can't recommend it highly enough!

My 4yo loves board/games. He plays: dobble, Uno, snap, Orchard Toys games like bus stop, incy wincy spider, penalty shoot out, he likes guess who but he needs to be part of a team to play as he can't manage it on his own yet and gets muddled, snap, matching pairs, bingo. Me and DH both love card/board games though so we've encouraged his interest. I much prefer playing games than doing role play with my kids!

Ghost castle, don’t upset the llama and minions game of life are the top faves in our house.

Connect 4, Dobble, Catan Junior, UNO

My 4 yo loves Outfoxed, and it's not too bad to play as an adult although it does get tedious eventually!

Bugs in the Kitchen is a great board game.

Tummy Ache, Shopping list and others from Orchard Games.
Dobble is a brilliant multi generational game. Kids can genuinely beat adults.

The pigeons game mentioned here is in the Amazon prime sale just fyi

My DS has really enjoyed Guess Who and junior Cluedo (he likes that there's a version you can play as a team).

Bargain, thank you
