Lotto
Shopping game
Eye Spy
Snakes and Ladders

These are ones I used for dd with adhd at the time.

Shopping game and lotto were favourites!

thought pop up pirate was good

ELC do their onw cheaper version

and there is one which is a crocodile were you just take it in turns to push a tooth down, until it gently! snaps its mought shut!

My DD was able to play these (age 5) struggled a bit waiting her turn

But both of them are funny games that both my children could actually play

how old is he?

sorry just read the title lol

anniebear · 15/10/2006 18:58

both those games would be good then. They are not hard to play and are not complicated

But they really enjoy it when either the Pirate pops up or the crocodile's mouth shuts

Bet he will love them

Ignore the aged 4& my little girls played them from age coming up to 4 but one has SN and is quite behind with her development
