Card games for 5 year old

[Iwant2beJessicaFletcher]

Just looking for ideas for stocking fillers for DC5. They already love Dobble, Uno & Go Fish. Can anyone recommend something along these lines that is a hit for a 5 year old.

Thank you

My 4 year old like top trumps.

Elf snap/ playing cards! (I know that The Works sell them). You’ve already mentioned double and go fish which would have been my next go to games.

Do they have a junior version of these? I think my 4 year old would also like them but I’ve only seen the more ‘grown up’ versions which he wouldn’t be able to read.

I’m looking at where’s Wally card game for my six year old!

@PrudeyTwoShoes Yes they do. We’ve got a Gruffalo one and a Dinosaur Roar version.

@PrudeyTwoShoes a lot of them are colour-coded so your child can say the category colour rather than having to read the word.

Djeco do great card games - we had Sardines where you have to spot similarities - can be adapted for different ages but definitely 5 and up. Also, not exactly a card game but Bus Stop was a great favourite - easy counting practice and we had names and identities for all the passengers

Crazy Mates! It's a pirate version of crazy 8s

@Forgottenmyphone and @ScarboroughHair, thanks both! Off to Amazon now 😊

Dino dump

@PrudeyTwoShoes yes there are junior top trumps.

Mine have the regular ones but we do give them a bit of a hand with the reading side.

Taco cat goat cheese pizza is the best card game I have ever played!

Gosh I've just remembered a card game I had and loved as a little kid called Wot!

Not sure it's still available

Dobble

Thanks everyone - off to Google now!

I like djeco games

Schoko Hexe! It's a ravensburger card game which involves trying to find all the ingredients to make chocolate whilst avoiding those pesky chocolate witches.

Basically when its your turn, you choose how many cards you take/turn over. Do you push your luck and keep going or do you stop and bank your ingredients...

We like it so much we have 2 copies, one in the house and one in the car. It's usually quite cheap on Amazon.

A junior version of top trumps is just War, played with ordinary cards

It's really good for them when they 3/4/5+ as it can grow with them.
So things like for like, turn taking , shape recognition, colour recognition, number recognition,l to begin with, then counting the shapes, recognition of groups of symbols and knowing there are 3 diamonds without physically pointing, working out if 8 is bigger than 5, getting them to work out the difference etc. you can then also add I. "advanced" rules as they get older, so, with my DS , we used to do "one away from war" if the cards were (say) 7 and 8, the person who had a 7 could bring in reinforcements (an extra card) and add the score, then the 8 player has a chance too. They weigh up risk/benefits/chances of winning etc.
