For a great cooperative game, pick up Pretty Pretty Princess. In this game, kids learn to play together as they play dress up and race to gather all the jewelry.
If you have princess fans in the house this is the game for you. This game requires no reading, or complex counting and really encourages imaginative play!
Throw Throw Burrito is a game where you race against each other to get matching sets of cards faster than everyone while ducking, dodging, and throwing burritos.

If your 6 year old wants to leave the world behind then pick up Jumanji Board Game for them to play!
In this game, you will decode rhyming card messages that could end in disaster if you aren’t careful. The only way out of the jungle is to finish the game. Can you make it out?
Ticket To Ride First Journey is a great board game for 6 year olds. It is a spin-off of the popular Ticket To Ride game but simplified for younger players.
This game is all about strategy. The player that completes 6 tickets first and claims the golden ticket wins! We love that the rules are simple to understand and that the game takes about 15 to 30 minutes to play.
Slappy Camper is a fast and fun game where you race to pack up your camper. This game is all about quick thinking as you try to slap the right camping gear, but be careful, if you slap the wrong card you have to unpack!
We love that this game is easy to play and fun for the whole family. Your kids will work on their reflexes as well as their problem-solving skills as they play this game.
One of our favorite board games for 6 year olds is Qwirkle Cubes. In this game, you roll the dice to try and find matches. When you do, you score!
The rules are easy to follow, plus this game helps instill shape and color recognition as you play.
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is the perfect game to take wherever you go! While this isn’t actually a board game, we had to include this game because it’s so fun to play. It’s simple to play as you race against others to slap the matching card that you hear.
The last person to slap the stack has to take all the cards. Within minutes you will be playing this game. This is a game that everyone will love playing for hours.
