Slide, collide and score to win the Sorry! Game. Kids draw cards to see how far they get to move one of the pawns on the board. If they land on a Slide they can zip to the end and bump their opponents' pawns – or their own! Jump over pawns and hide in the Safety zone where opponents can't go. Kids keep on moving and bumping until they get all three of their pawns from Start to Home. But watch out, because if the pawn gets bumped, Sorry! It's all the way back to Start!

Bring back childhood memories and introduce the iconic guessing game to your kids and grandkids with the Guess Who? board game. This edition is double the fun because it includes people as well as pets character cards. Each player chooses a mystery character card and then using "yes "or "no" questions, tries to figure out the other player's mystery person or pet, depending on which set of cards they use. Players can ask questions about a person's appearance such as "Do they wear glasses?" or whether a pet wears a collar, or purrs. Challenge other players to a series of games and see who can be the first to win 5 games.

Be the first to move your child-shaped playing piece from square one to square 100 on the Chutes and Ladders game board--but watch out! If you land on the square that shows you ate too much candy--Ouch!--you get a tummy ache and slide down a chute to a square a few numbers below. But if you end your turn on a good-deed square, such as helping sweep up a mess, you'll be rewarded by a ladder-climb up the board. A fantastic follow-up to Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders is ideal for younger children who are still learning to take turns and just beginning to recognize numbers (the spinner stays in the single digits). It's also a gentle introduction to the higher numbers as players climb to 100 at the top of the board. And, thanks to all those chutes and ladders, it's got enough excitement to keep your 7-year-old on the edge of her seat. English and Spanish instructions are included; no reading is necessary to play. Chutes and Ladders is for two to four players. --Julie Ubben 

Our classic game of Charades is designed especially for kids to play and enjoy! With three levels of clues, kids of all ages can participate. Each card has a clue with a picture, so no reading is required (although the combination of the picture and its corresponding word reinforces early reading skills). Act out a toothbrush, a cat or a bumble Bee! Older children can read the simple words and phrases and act out actions like eating spaghetti or playing guitar! This game is great for the whole family to play together. Charades of kids includes: 150 charade cards, sand timer, game die and complete instructions.
