What is your 10/11 year old boy getting?

[WildUnknown]

Buying for a child with SEN, with social/communication issues who doesn't express wants when asked. Enjoys LEGO but has a lot of it. Has a Switch but struggles so games suggestions would have to be easy side. I'm not the parent but Parent similarly out of ideas.

What is popular among the Year 5/6 age range?

I have a ten year old son and a 7year old and both enjoy
Super Mario Deluxe
Pikmin4
Untitled goose game
odd ballers
ultra Mega xtra party challenge ( in the two for £20 Argos deal)

@Favouritefruits

That's really helpful thank you. I noticed with one game I would basically be buying a download code to my email which doesn't work well as a gift. Modern times I guess

On his list:
Zipit monster pencil case
Lego mug
Pictionary air
Spoke lights
Ok Play
Digital nerf target
Stunt kite
Laser tag game
Robo combat
Dart board
National Geographic Marble run

@Forgottenmyphone

Some of these are real shouts thank you

You can get lego games for the switch.

My 11 year olds says Hollow Knight or WarioWare: Get It Together! or Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

So far all I’ve got on the list is a class at Yo Sushi and a Nee Doh. He’ll love both! But here for ideas. (9 year old DS, year 5)

If he enjoys Lego how about some mini figures and a mini figure display case to put them in?

My DS is 10 and is neurodiverse. He loves Lego and I’m buying him the figures and display case plus the new Lego Fortnite Battle Bus set. Also on his list:
Mario and Luigi switch game plus the sonic and shadow switch game both due out in Oct/nov.
Fortnite Peely Controller stand
Funko Pop figures
Lego pencil case and pens
Slush puppy machine

Mine wants a big Transformer.

This is all extremely helpful, I will have to take notes, thanks everyone

@MrTiddlesTheCat LOVE the Lego Console Games! I think he has one but I'm not sure which

Dc1 nearly 10, birthday & Christmas close together. He’s after some car Lego sets & farm simulator game for his Switch Lite. He’s also getting a friendship bracelet kit, a new battle ships game & a few bits & bobs in his stocking. Also considering a metal detector .

He loves the Lego 2K Drive game he got last year & still plays Lego City all the time.

@EcoCustard

Birthday and Christmas close together is an issue here as well. I like the look of 2k Drive, thanks

Has he got Minecraft for the Switch? Or Lego Worlds is quite cheap and a Minecraft rip off?

Second Pikmin 4, I'm a gamer and it's my absolute favourite game on the Switch. Quite easy, lots of puzzle solving and collecting treasure.

Otherwise, I'll be getting the usual books, board games, he's having a new bike for his birthday.

@yoshiblue

I will check, it's a good idea, thank you

Some mine already has or I know is on his list:
Lego
Books (Wings of Fire, Percy Jackson)
Tamagotchi
Powerbank
Schleich Eldrador figures
Pens/pencils
Stick insect set up
Reading pillow
TV for room
Loop ear pods
Fitbit (kids)
Slime

Apparently tamagochi are about to have a big come back!

Gaming chair or bean bag?

Tamagotchi! Now that's a blast from the past!
