It has the two full decks of cards and uses the cards as the playing spaces. I didn’t even know there was a kids version. My DD got it for her 6th birthday so she needed a little help with the strategy at first but totally got the idea of the game without help.</p> <p>This is the amazon link for the one we have:<br /> <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00000IVAK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1524018770&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&#038;keywords=sequence+board+game&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=51gFpuIyT8L&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00000IVAK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1524018770&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&#038;keywords=sequence+board+game&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=51gFpuIyT8L&#038;ref=plSrch</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816949 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 19:41:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2816949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: @2PeasinaPod: sequence for kids or the regular one for this age? The not “for kids” one looks so grown up but kids says 3-6 or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816940 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 18:51:05 +0000 MamaCate 2816940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: yeah I really like it too. It is a nice change of pace from some of the less interesting ones she has—she got codenames too but she isn’t quite old enough to really play it well so it is duuuullll 😛 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816923 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 15:53:05 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2816923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: I second Sequence! It's a fun game to play with DS1 as there's a little bit of strategy involved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816921 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 15:31:44 +0000 jennlin821 2816921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he loves to read, could you do a book or magazine subscription? When I was his age I had a Babysitters Club book membership that mailed books, and my brother has one for Goosebumps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816898 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 14:32:23 +0000 smuckers 2816898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just popping in to say that we got my nephew a minecraft wallet (in addition to a book he'd asked for) for his 7th birthday, and it was a HIT. I think it made him feel very grown-up, lol, he loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816866 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 12:52:09 +0000 Alba4 2816866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nephew is turning 7 and had requested a rock/gem digging kit. He also loves everything Star Wars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816767 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 08:59:35 +0000 dolphin 2816767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>great ideas! thank you for all the recommendations everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816729 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 23:05:39 +0000 MamaCate 2816729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: we got a board game called sequence as a gift for my 6 y.o. DDs birthday this year. It is a definite step up from little kid board games and I like it a lot. I would recommend it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816725 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 22:18:38 +0000 misolee 2816725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A mom told me this is all the rage with 7-8 year olds. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B38KF1/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B38KF1/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816719 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 20:51:18 +0000 SweetCaroline 2816719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with K'nex. Our nephew exclaimed they were "the best gift" and they became the hit of the party. They're super fun to build with and you can get a decent set for your price point. They're different enough from Legos and not something a kid knows to ask for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816716 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 20:33:46 +0000 irene 2816716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For 6-7 year old boys, our default go-to gift is almost always Lego with gift receipt. </p> <p>If you need a filler gift (on top of the Legos), I'd get a cheap spirograph box (they used to have it for a little while at Target for $5), or recently DH found the game "Battle Ship" (which DS loves) for $5 at walmart.</p> <p>My son is 6+ and I think he is obsessed with the idea of spirograph (we just have yet to buy him a decent set lol). He is an early reader, and nowadays we just keep playing Scrabble on a daily basis, so that's something to think about. For really intellectual kids, I'd go shop at Barnes and Noble and find a really big and nice book (on top of some knick-knack filler gifts). We recently bought a book which talks about gears and how things work for a friend's 6 year old birthday. There are actual gears they can turn and play around. DS would have claimed it if I let him! When we were younger DS has gotten a big dinosaur anatomy book, a Nat Geo book about places on earth, a Richard Scarry book (when he was younger) and those are also very nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816682 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 18:54:02 +0000 Hypatia 2816682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The illustrated Hobbit by Jemima Caitlin is fantastic. Or one of the illustrated Harry Potter books, if he hasn't already read them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816674 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 18:31:34 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2816674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Legos are timeless! Or science/bug kit type stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816648 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 16:08:10 +0000 bhbee 2816648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think legos (with a gift receipt) is hard to beat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816631 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 15:41:26 +0000 dolphin 2816631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gestalt: Maybe around $30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816629 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 15:35:25 +0000 gestalt 2816629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your budget? At this age I would suggest LEGO, magic kits, and board games. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816627 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 15:24:53 +0000 looch 2816627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were shopping, I would get either a Lego Architecture kit or an illustrated Harry Potter book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-of-a-7-year-old-boy#post-2816612 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 14:24:56 +0000 dolphin 2816612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Need a gift for this weekend and realized I have no clue what to get a 7 year old boy. I know he loves to read. Would love some ideas. Thanks! </p>
