We featured the Batik game last week, and then found the new version for younger children, called Batik Kid. It works just like regular Batik, but the shapes are fun undersea creatures. It looks like a great game for those 4 and up. View at Amazon

Apples to Apples Junior
We featured the original Apples to Apples game in the past, but the somewhat new Apples to Apples Junior is a great game for younger kids – down to nine year-olds. Older kids and adults will still love it – a lot of the joy in the game is in the gamesmanship and players, and [...]
Pictionary Junior
Pictionary Junior is just like the adult version of Pictionary, but with a few twists to make it easier for younger kids. Not only are the clues a little bit easier, but teams also get a hint to the word being sketched. The game also comes with two-sided cards: the red side is challenging, the [...]
Sequence Game
Sequence is a great family game, as long as your kids are a little older. It takes a little more luck than strategy, and it’s much more fun to play when there’s 4 or 6 people, but it’s a good game. View at Toys R Us
Trivial Pursuit Family Edition
Trivial Pursuit Family Edition looks like another good family board game. Much like some of the other family trivia games we’ve seen here, in Trivial Pursuit Family Edition there are both kid trivia cards and adult trivia cards, to help even the game out. From the reviews I’ve seen, this seems like a good game! [...]
Beat the Parents Board Game
I saw the Beat the Parents Board Game in Toys R Us over the weekend, and it looks pretty fun. It’s a standard “move across the board” game, with trivia questions thrown in. The catch is that the kids get asked questions that parents would probably know the answer to, while the parents get asked [...]
Cranium Family Edition
Cranium Family Edition is similar to the regular edition of Cranium, except it’s fun for kids of all ages! Instead of trivia or other challenging tasks, teams move around the board by doing physical tasks, playing games and doing wacky stunts. It really is fun for the whole family! Cranium Family Edition
Blurt Board Game
We just got Blurt over the Thanksgiving holidays, and it was a pretty decent game. Here’s how it works. You roll a die, and based on the roll one person reads out a clue (the clue is basically the definition of an unknown word). People then blurt out answers, with the first person being correct [...]
Sort it Out
Sort It Out is a new game from University Games, where you race to place things in the correct order. It’s up for Game of the Year, so you know it has to be good! Sort it Out at Amazon
