5 Family-Friendly Board Games for Young Kids

There’s nothing quite like sitting with family and friends and breaking out a great board game. From the classics to the newbies, board games have been providing quality family fun for decades! These 5 new board games for families are sure to be a hit with parents and kids alike.

Rattlesnake Jake
Rattlesnake Jake is coiled around a pile of gold nuggets and players try to snatch each piece away from him before he strikes and takes his gold back.

Gnomes at Night
Work with a partner in a timed round to move gnomes on each side of this stand-up maze. Avoid bumping into walls and collect as many points as you can. The pieces connect magnetically, so if you and your teammate move in opposite ways, they'll detach.

Dog Crimes
A cake has been stolen or a rug has been soiled, and pups are the suspects. Players use the list of clues provided and their logical-reasoning skills to deduce the culprit in 40 challenges.

Where’s Bear?
Conceal the bear under one of six nesting boxes and have kids guess where he is. For little ones, it can be as easy as pointing or describing the box. Older kids can play along, too, by finding hidden images on each block.

Button, Button, Belly Button
Practice colors, taking turns, and more with this sneaky teaching game. Little ones will love showing off their own belly buttons as they try to match their button and teddy bear pieces with the ones on the board.
