8. Zingo | It’s like Bingo but instead of numbers they’re pictures. All four of our kids have loved this. And it’s pretty tolerable as a parent.
9. Sequence for Kids | A board game that the whole family can truly enjoy. It’s great for reinforcing colors, learning about patterns and sequence, taking turns and strategy. You may also like this Sequence Letters or Sequence Numbers versions.
10. Picnic Game | We love this game. It’s an introduction to spinners, taking turns and making choices. Our only real beef with this game is the fact that tomatoes are classified as vegetables.
