I've got Cluedo for Ds1 who is 10 and that's what he asked for. Can anyone recommend a few good games for dd 7 and ds2 3?

We love orchard games here for dd who's 3, this year she has cheeky monkeys, greedy gorilla and frog party this year amongst others.

For your dd who's 7 maybe dobble, uno, guess who or connect 4

This one is fab, although 7 year old might be approaching the upper age limit before finding it babyish.

It's also a collaborative game so great if you don't want things to get too competitive!

Mouse Trap, Ludo, Jenga or Frustration for 7 year old

Hungry Hippos, Monkey Business or Kerplunk for 3 year old

I have a three year old and I have got Buckeroo and Hungry Hippos

My 7yo loves Dragonwood, Gubs, Quirkle, Uno and Labyrinth.

Pop up pirate for 3yr old and orchard games.

Monopoly, Harry Potter cluedo, labyrinth, game of life are all games my 6yr old loves to play.

I forgot to mention Battleships as another idea for your 7yo

For the 7yo, Dobble (matching symbols at speed), Set (finding patterns at speed), Rat a tat cat (turn based, trying to get the lowest value on hidden cards), Love letters (turn based, getting the highest card / knocking out opponents), Uno.

For 3yo - pretty much anything by Orchard Toys - and then wean then on to the proper stuff as soon as they can sit still long enough! We amended all the above (except love letters) from fairly early on - had a similar age gap as your two youngest, and the little one was keen to play "grown up" games.

Oh yes - and collaborative games are great too. Forbidden Island and Castle Panic are good fun and great for involving kids (or grandparents!) who don't quite understand the rules.

Thank you everyone. I don't know how I forgot about Orchard Games because we have a few and ds2 loves them so I will get him another one and check out some of these suggestions for dd.
