Board Games recommendations for 4 year old girl please.

[ThisOchreLemur]

My DD is 4 years old and I’d love to buy some games we can both play at friday's evening. We have Guess who?, twister junior, red dog &blue dog, lince (spanish board game) and some jigsaws. Any inspiration gratefully received!

My DD really liked Dobble at that age. It's basically pattern recognition.

DD used to love
Frustration
Operation
Magic tooth fairy game 🫣
Dobble

This was a hit with mine https://myriadonline.co.uk/haba-orchard-p-39307
(eek, quite expensive though!)

My dd adored Snakes and Ladders at 5/6.

Spotty Dogs and Crazy Chefs (both Orchard Toys, I think) were also favourites.

Dd likes
draughts
connect 4
ludo
snakes and ladders
she likes playing basic card games like “baby” rummy (3 cards)
I have a pack of UNO cards somewhere so going to teach her that.

Labyrinth is fab

I keep seeing this, going to buy one

At that age my DD liked Ticket to Ride First Journey and Outfoxed. Also Smart Games, like this one

Oh yes DD loved that and the little red riding hood one too.

Orchard games do some good ones this was dc favourite also a good shopping one.

Snakes and ladders, frustration, bingo and connect four.

Monster bingo!
We still play it occasionally (teenagers now).

Snakes and ladders
Junior monopoly
"Giraffes with scarves"

Quite difficult for a 4 year old though. But agree great for older children

Outfoxed, Uno, Hoot Owl Hoot, Dobble

My son loved and still does ‘Party party party’ by orchard games! He likes ‘Tumny ache’ too and both are simple and not too long!

How is Labyrinth difficult for a 4 year old ??

It's perfect for that age because there are no words or complicated rules

Ludo and snakes and ladders and dibble fall into this simple category too

lol dobble not dibble

We have the Harry Potter one too

Cake monster and shopping list are Orchard toy games that were favourites in our house.

Mine also liked the brain box games

Any Orchard Toys, but particularly like Unicorn Fun and Dinosaur Dig.

Recently got Sink n Sand which is a kinetic sand game.

Shut the box is nice and simple

Outfoxed is brilliant, DD1 loves it. Another vote for Dobble. The Bluey Scavenger Hunt game is good, and Orchard Games' Shopping List. Odd Sock is fun too. Can You Find It First, similar vibe as Dobble. Junior Draw Out too.

My son likes
Pop up pirate
Labyrinth
Orchard toys games
Windy knickers
Junior monopoly
Sink n sand
UNO
Dobble
Scotland Yard
Snakes and ladders
Chequers

The Sock Game has been a MASSIVE hit with the kids in my family from around age 4. The beauty of it is in that it can last for 20-30 seconds or hours. No obligation to key playing to the end .

Enchanted Forest is really good for this age. More to it than orchard toy games but also easy to understand.

Enchanted Forest
Frustration
Happy families/Donkey
Snakes and ladders
House that Jack Built
Uno
Dobble

If you are playing card games, get some playing card racks. It makes it so much easier for small hands (and great for old hands as well).

Excellent suggestions.
