Games like junior uno

[Hoplittlebunnyhophophopandstop]

I have a nearly 8yr old and a nearly 5yr old who both love junior uno. Is there anything else similar but not too similar? Is pass the pigs any good for this age?

Top trumps

(How does Junior Uno compare to proper Uno... we only ever had that)

Thanks. Do they need to be able to read for top trumps? My youngest is still in nursery and can only read CVC words.

Virtually the same expect card numbers also have the same animals too so if they’re too young to recognise numbers it’s OK because all the 3 cards have tigers on them. There are different ways to play it but from what I remember in uno you can have runs so can put down 5, 6, 7 but in junior uno you can only put down one card at a time.

I think pass the pigs has a bit much maths for a four year old maybe? Taco cat goat cheese pizza is easy to learn and fun.

I've only ever played normal Uno too.

We've got inflatable Pass the Pigs which we take on holiday. I'd say that was suitable.

Do they like Connect 4 or Guess Who?

We like Bandido which is a cooperative card game. You have to stop a bandit from escaping gaol by creating dead ends. Pretty much no learning of long rules and is fun.

With top trumps you need to be able to tell which number is bigger (so 42 is bigger than 24 for example) but its not a lot of reading. I'm pretty sure mine had it at preschool age, judging by the fact two of our sets are My Little Pony and Frozen!

Normal UNO! Much more fun.

Snap or Dobble. Happy families requires being able to read the family members.
