Best games for kids girl 7 and boy 5

[RosieLeaLovesTea]

What are the best games for my DD 7 yrs and DS 5 to play together? I am thinking board games rather than electronic. Thanks!

We just got our boys (same ages) Outfoxed, which they love. It's a cooperative game which helps with the sportsmanship.

For Christmas I've put the following on a list for family gifts as we'd like to start a games night: Sleeping Queens, Break the Ice, Uno, Operation and Trouble. Not sure if they have the same names in the UK but they're popular where I live.

Labyrinth is my absolute favourite for this age. Very simple rules but it's strategic enough to be fun to play at any age.

Dobble is great for that age and to play together.

Junior Carcassonne is one of our favourites

Bugs in the kitchen
Guess Who
Connect 4
Buckaroo
Labyrinth (although will depend on the 5 yo)
Junior Monopoly

Battleships
Frustration
Game of Life Junior
