Inside: Forget the typical ho-hum board games for kindergartners. Instead, play these educational and<\/em> fun board games for 5-year-olds and 6-year-olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any time my kindergartner catches me sitting on the couch for more than a few minutes, she walks up to me with anticipation lighting up her face and asks, “Can we play a game?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when she zips off to our game closet to pick out a game, I send out a silent note of gratitude to my former self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s why: <\/strong>A few years ago, I’d had<\/em> it with the likes of Candyland and Hungry Hungry Hippos. Those typical board games for kindergartners require little to no strategy, so they’re not exactly stretching your child’s brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, kids are more perceptive than we sometimes give them credit for. When your face falls – even just a little – at the sight of which game your child picked out or when you’re anxious for the game to be done, your child will pick up on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they won’t know your reaction is because of the game. They’ll think you don’t want to play with them<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
