Childrens Board Games Top Five For Fun

Like many others I love playing board games and have done since I was a child. You start off with simple fun games like Snakes and Ladders and Ludo, really get into them when you get a compendium of games off granny or granddad for Christmas and there you are, hooked for life.

Every Christmas you see tempting new games advertised on the television or in magazines and as you get older you teach your kids and then grandkids how to play board games just so you can enjoy them together. This year the top five board games being sold for kids are quite a mixture, but all fun. Let’s see what they are:

5. Cluedo Harry Potter

I have the original Cluedo game and have always enjoyed playing it, but I’m not sure about this twist on the original. But hey, I’m sure that todays kids are more likely to enjoy a game with Harry Potter baddies than the likes of Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet.

4. Twister

More of a floor game than a board game but just as much fun. It will keep the kids noisy but happy during Christmas day and tipsy adults entertained tying themselves in knots during the evening. It’s the game we adults love to hate but we still continue to buy it for our kids.

3. Tension The Zany Crazy Naming Game

For over 12s this game is basically a race against the clock to name 10 examples of a topic given, but you must guess the examples written on the game card. One to keep the brain sharp and have a great time competing with another team and especially at parties.

2. The Logo Board Game

A game for 2 – 6 players aged 12 and over the Logo Board Game has 1600 questions about products on sale in the UK. A sample question for instance is how many flavours of Rowntrees fruit pastilles are they? Get the questions right, move around the board and try to win.

1. Monopoly

This classic board game for 2 – 6 players is still number 1 after all these years, and the original not one of those special editions. Invented in 1934 over 200 million sets have been sold worldwide and in 26 languages. Amazing when you think of the simplicity of this game, moving around the board buying and selling properties and occasionally going to jail. I’ve spent many happy hours playing Monopoly and I’m sure that this superb board game will be around for many years to come. If they still have the old boot that’s my playing piece.

There you have it. The top 5 board games this year and 5 golden gift ideas for birthdays and Christmas. It’s great being able to give friends and family presents that you know will continue to entertain for a long time.
