There are a few games that are great for kids to play alone as well. Scroll to the bottom to see those recommendations. Sometimes kids want to play a game and there’s nobody to play with them.

My favorite games when I was 6-10 years old were whatever games my older brothers picked out because as the youngest you just go along with what everyone else wants. I played a LOT of Monopoly and I don’t think I ever won! These best board games for 6-10 year olds and, yes, Monopoly is included because it’s actually a great game kids love.

Besides playing games there are other fun activities you can do with your family if you have a preschooler.
