What board games do your kids enjoy playing. My daughter likes the game with the dog and the magnetic bones, but she is still young. I was thinking of getting that elephant game- it blows butterflies into the air and the kids catch them with a net. Is that fun?

Eleafun

I believe it is called Eleafun and the kids loved it. They also enjoyed Chutes and Ladders, Candyland and Operation.
There is another game where you pick the cherries off the tree and put them in your basket but I can't remember the name.

On our family game night

On our family game night we've been playing...

Sorry!

A game my son got for his birthday a year or two ago called Dino Math Tracks. A learning game for counting 1's 10's 100's and 1000's that also has math word problems to solve.

Also a fun one called "Would You Rather?"

A dominoes game called Mexican Train

A family edition of Charades

Clue Jr.

Chutes and Ladders

We are all learning Chess together (I'm sort of re-learning it, never was really great at it)

And not in the Board game category...my son (8 yrs old) and I occasionally dual in Guitar Hero I, II or III or play The Bigs (baseball) or Madden 08 Football on the PS2.

a few more

In addition to Hi-Ho Cherrio, Chutes and Ladders, and Candyland, we've enjoyed Trouble and Labryinth Jr. (good for 4yrs. and up). Also some game with pigs in a corral that features the "This Little Piggy" song.

We play card games, too, with my son (nearly 6). Go Fish, Old Maid, Concentration, Crazy 8s, etc.

Oooooo, Games!

Check out a newer game called Blokus, my boys love it.

They also like Connect Four, Caribou and a new twist on Tic-Tac-Toe called Gobblit-It. Plus all the ones mentioned above. Oh, and the wife found a kids version of Sudoku, with less squares, and colored shapes instead of numbers, made by Pressman.
