kfeusse Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I run a library program that includes about 5-10 kids grades 3-5. They like to play games, so I am looking for some good games that would work with that many kids (plus a couple adults who help me). We have played picwits and that was fun. But need some other ones. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hshibley Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Code name Disney, Marvel, or Harry Potter. You play on teams so any even number of players works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 HUGE IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE: Never, ever open up a game for the first time at the session. Instead, whoever is presenting the game should read the rules beforehand. It is a good idea if more than one person does this and they play a sample game or two together first - often, rules look incredibly complex until you actually play the game. It may even help to watch a YouTube video. Never, ever, ever open a game for the first time when the kids are there and fidgeting. NEVER. I also strongly suggest that you invest in some of the following: Card sleeves (to protect cards), dice trays (to prevent wayward throws), chit trays (exactly the same as dice trays, but you use them to hold stray components during the game) Do all kids have to play the same game at the same time, or is it acceptable to have two groups? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arliemaria Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 My son, age 9, got Carcassone, Ticket to Ride First Journeys, Clue, Settlers of Catan, and Labyrinth for Christmas this year. We play a lot of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
