He got it when he was 3. He’s 4 now and likes to play There’s a Yeti in my Spaghetti. He totally cheats and doesn’t like to lose so I usually lose on purpose. He likes Candyland too. He likes to also play Connect 4, but he doesn’t have any strategy yet, nor can he see patterns, but I imagine he’ll learn the more he plays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/board-games-for-3-and-6-year-old#post-2814253 Wed, 04 Apr 2018 13:07:07 +0000 Mrsbells 2814253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: theres a fishing game too.

Banana grams was a big hit (and educational) when he was 4+. Recently UNO is the biggest hit, then scrabbles, and he discovered battleship recently and he loves that too. </p> <p>And, is chess considered a "board game"? he loves chess since a year or so ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/board-games-for-3-and-6-year-old#post-2813969 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 11:38:46 +0000 milano14 2813969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Race to the Treasure is a big hit in my house as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/board-games-for-3-and-6-year-old#post-2813945 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 10:52:48 +0000 erinbaderin 2813945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pop Up Pirate is popular at my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/board-games-for-3-and-6-year-old#post-2813940 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 10:38:29 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2813940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would suggest Eye Found It, as a cooperative option. The issue with the age spread at our house is with competitive games. Hoot Owl Hoot is another good one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/board-games-for-3-and-6-year-old#post-2813903 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 09:56:49 +0000 Mama Bird 2813903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 year old and 2.5 year old love eeBoo United States bingo. The little one can't read, but she gets where the pictures go so they can play without adults. Jenga is good too.</p> <p>Well, usually. Unless someone decides to play "volcanic eruption" with the pieces instead, and they get into a fight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/board-games-for-3-and-6-year-old#post-2813895 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 09:49:38 +0000 bhbee 2813895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Filled up my amazon cart with potential options!
