Pre K Board Games
Sight Word Swat is one of those games that belongs in every household with kids entering Kindergarten. This game helps build reading skills, vocabulary, and confidence when it comes to reading and sight words.
With over 220 site words in the collection, this game will grow with your child’s vocabulary throughout the years. We especially love this for the kids who don’t really love learning from flashcards because there is lots of learning and interaction all while having fun swatting words.
If you are looking for a game that helps develop fine motor skills, then Pete the Cat I Love My Buttons is a great choice!
In this game, your kids will skin the spinner and learn shapes and colors while using the squeezer to help find the lost buttons. With so many things to do on your child’s turn, it helps keep your child entertained throughout the whole game.
Pancake Pile-Up is a pre-k board game that helps encourage children to learn sequencing and patterns. Here your child will stack and serve pancakes to match the selected card.
This game not only helps with sequencing but also encourages gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and teamwork.
In the game, Hoot Owl Hoot your kids will work together to help the owls fly back to their nest before the sun comes up by color matching their card to the space on the board.
This game focuses on strategic thinking, working together, planning ahead, social skills, and cooperation and takes about 15 minutes to play.
Perfection is one of those games that is fun no matter how many times you play it, especially for Pre-K kids.
In this game, your kids will race against the clock to place all the shapes in their designated spot before the timer makes them go pop! This game is not only fun but really helps develop those fine motor skills.
Robot Face Race is a fast-paced color recognition matching game loved by kids! In this game, your child needs to find the matching heads for each robot. The first player to find 5 matches wins!
With over 120 different robot heads this is a fun game that the kids will want to play over and over again. We love this game because it requires no reading skills so it allows younger kids to participate as well.
We love Hedbanz Junior because it is designed with younger kids in mind. In this game, your kids ask yes and no questions to try and figure out what animal they are.
We love that this game offers clue cards and mats to help kids a little more when they’re trying to figure out what animal they are!
Toy Story Top Trumps Game of Match is perfect for Toy Story lovers! In this game, your child will compete against one another to try and match 5 characters in a row vertically, horizontally, or even diagonally. We love that this game is compact, easy to set up and you can take it anywhere with you!
