Zingo. Sold through learning ladder and is like bingo except its pictures with the word underneath. Kids as little as 2 can play so it can be a whole family game. Amazing how competitive people )adults ) can get with it! Lol
DD1 loves games too. Junior Monopoly is her favourite but she also loved the Lego sheep game, Don't Panic for Kids, The Beetle game and Cluedo Junior at that age. Though Cluedo is much easier and less frustrating for me now that she's older. She also loves simple card games.
Do you know how many hours and tantrums we've had over Lego's Shave a Sheep? Let alone the internal issues being projected onto that poor wolf. DS can't cope with not winning too well, so snakes and ladders is better as it is a bit random. Shave a Sheep requires a bit of tactics to win and, while Liebs is up with tactics, his parents aren't allowed to be. But all the lego games are fun, we also have the beach one and the frog one.
Thanks so much for all these great ideas! I would have thought though that some of these suggestions would be too hard for a just turned 4 year old? Like Uno and Guess Who?
What do you do in Junior Monopoly?
But I am still clueless when it comes to relising what she can and can't do and I am constantly surprised at how capable she is at this age, so maybe they aren't too hard.
Junior monopoly is a similar premise to the adult one with simplified rules. It is based on amusement park rides and attractions. Buying and paying to use. She wouldn't be able to work out the sums herself but DS plays with DD1 and I (and he's 3.5) and we just work it out for him. We ask him what he wants to do and if he wants to buy it. He loves it. There's also one with an ATM but that's a bit more complex, though DD1 was able to play at 5.
