I do not have much of an idea of what to get my children for xmas and people keep asking what to get them. I thought some board games etc. Does anyone have any suggestions of what games to get? Many thanks.

'What a performance' is a good and fun one. Junior Monopoly (but you will need to play with them)
We have Cars/Lightening McQueen one where you just roll a dice and race to the end of the track which ours love.
Orchard Toys do some good ones, but may be a bit young for 7yr old?
There are some good 'Cranium' ones too.

"Cars/Lightening McQueen one"? Is that a Monopoly one?

No sorry, it's just some board game with a dice...fairly similar to the ones they have in comics to be honest, but our love it.
"Slide on oil, go back 2 spaces" etc etc

Sorry! is a good game, more for the 7 year old. You might have to get it from Ebay.

Uno? Not a board game but a fun card game and your 7 year old might be ok with it,

Snakes and Ladders....
Fun on the Farm

My 4yo dd loves Orchard Toys Shopping List - yawn.....

My DCs 8 and 5 love Cranium's Balloon Lagoon. We got it last year when they were 7 and 4.

uno's a good one, i'd second that (ok it doesn't have board) i can play it with my just 5 and 7 year old

I'm condisering getting the Cheese Touch game (diary of the wimpy kid theme), though i haven't check the age guide.

We also have junior cluedo 5 year old doesn't really get it

monopoly is popular, we've the shrek one, also you can get snakes and ladders which isn't a problem for the younger one
