Fun family game recommendations for ages

5 - 17 plus adults

If you play in teams, and use the "junior" cards for the younger players as well as the regular ones for everyone else, then try Articulate.

There's also a very silly sheep rustling game which I think is called Fleeced. Younger DC will need to team up with an older player, but can be absolute demons in spotting when someone forgets to blow the whistle!

Happy Salmon

@Forgottenmyphone just came on to say Happy Salmon but you beat me to it!

Brilliant game for all ages - 90 seconds of complete craziness & laughter

Thank you. Will look into those

Labyrinth - a 5yo should be able to learn this game. They'll probably find it extremely funny when the older players get frustrated at it, because the younger players tend not to plan ahead, whereas the older players do - but you cannot plan ahead with Labyrinth.

Forbidden Island - more complex, but is played co-operatively, not competitively, so it's easy to make the 5yo feel fully part of the team.
