My Favorite Board Games for Kids ages 5-8 // board games for the classroom!

[@dawngrobe6842]

We love Outfoxed. We got it when my now 8 year old was 3 and we still play it now. We make up our own rules, like you only get to roll once and when we get a clue it goes on the clue spot where we got it and you can't go back there. He'll probably outgrow it soon and it will move into my primary grade room, but for now we still love it.

So instead of rolling 3 times to get a match you roll once and if no match the fox moves?

Thank you! My family with grands ages 5 & 8 just love Sleeping Queens and Outfoxed. It sounds like out taste in games aligns with yours, so I will put the others you featured here on my list! 🎄

We still play clue and chutes and ladders. These are two of our favorites for this age of children.

We love Outfoxed and Sleeping Queens! My granddaughters are now 6 and 7 and we’ve been playing Outfoxed for a couple years. When Grandpa and I both play, we let them roll for us to keep them engaged. Started playing Sleeping Queens this past year. A huge hit! We just intoduced Dragonwood (also by Gamewright) and they loved that too. Will try Cauldron Quest. Looks fun!

Sequence for kids is fantastic. Simple enough for kids learn and for them to play on their own but it does have some strategy which is an important feature in kids games. Carcassonne for kids is also fantastic… maybe a bit trickier for in the classroom but great for a family with your kids’ ages.

I agree with Sequence for Kids!!! Fun for the adults playing too.

Wow these are great!! Not a board game but my grandsons LOVE to play Dominoes with nana! They are ages 5 & 9. The 5 year olds plays a domino picture match but the 9 year old plays the real deal! We love it!!

lol I already have 3 out of 6 games you introduced: Catan Junior, Cauldron Quest, and Outfoxed.

Sleeping Queens and Rat a Tat Cat for the win for our family!!

Looks like some really fun games! I wish this video had come out sooner so I could have gotten some of these games as gifts for my grandkids.

We love Yahtzee and Candy land. We play with the grandchildren when they stay the night.💕

Thank you for the wonderful ideas for both within the classroom and to play with my nephews! I don’t have children of my own but come from a big game playing family and my nephews turned me onto ‘Bears va Babies’ and’ ‘You’ve Got Crabs’ or anything by this game making company 🤪

We love Yahtzee and Candy land. 💕

I haven’t played any of those games. Thanks for sharing them.
