Check out a game called “Loopin’ Louie”; it’s a dexterity game that works equally well with kids and adults.

Excellent! Lots of good points here. I have never actually been to a swap meet to look for games. I often hit stores like Goodwill and super discount stores like Savers. I’ll have to find a swap meet now…

I wrote an article titled “Top 5 Ways to Get Games Cheap” that also addresses great ways to get some games for very little money down. Feel free to share with your readers if you think they would be interested.

Again, great article!

Warmest regards,

@Ashley – thanks for your comment – you’re right, at 2 yrs old, swinging and playing outside is much more fun . Our son just started to “get” board games recently, around the time of his 3rd birthday. He’s still learning the concept, but he has a lot of fun with it and wants to play again and again and again. Every time we play a game, he gets better and shows a better understanding of what to do, when its his turn to roll the dice, etc. It is a great time to teach him and spend time together.

Enchanted forest sounds a lot like a game I used to have…only it was more pretend play so I’m not sure that’s it. I think playing games with 3-4 years olds is great…although I hadn’t thought much about doing a LOT of board games with them. Then again, I only have an almost 2 year old, so it’d be way more different. She’d rather us take her outside to play on her slide and swing and play in water and collect things I think you’re right though…there needs to be more involved play time…

@smartfather – that is really great to hear! I like the idea of combining it with ordering pizza too, to give you more time to play. That sounds like a lot of fun and a real treat. I hope more parents take your example!

Board games are great! We try to make sure that every Sunday night we have pizza and game night. It’s nice to not have to worry about dinner and then getting ready for the week. With just pizza we have plenty of time to play games. Really is a great time.
