I have twin boys who have played a lot of board games, and I've made video overviews for some of the games they've played. Here is a video compilation of many of the games they played (by the rules) when they were 4 years old. I've also made a list of 5 of their favorites. Make sure you also check out the games they played at 2 years old and 3 years old.
When my twins were a little over 2 years old, they started playing some board games by the actual rules! Before that, I had introduced them to board games and they liked playing with the pieces. I blogged about some of those experiences in my Training Games series. But when they started playing games by the rules, I started making overview videos of each game we've played. Here's the playlist on YouTube of all the videos I've made about children's games. The links to each overview video in the playlist are also below, grouped by how old my kids were when they first played the game by the rules.
Additionally, I made a list of some of my (and my kids') favorites to play with 2 year olds and 3 year olds! I'm also planning on making a list video for each year as they grow older.
This is part of a series called Training Games, where I review children's games when playing (with modified rules) with my twin toddlers. This review was written when my twins were 21 months old.
My kids are almost two years old, and I’ve gone through all the board games we have that are meant for toddlers to play in this series. So this series is coming to a close, but that’s a good thing because it means my kids will be playing games by the actual rules soon! With this final post, I wanted to talk about how my boys “play” board games now that they can go into our game room.
My boys love playing board games, and they’ll often point to the game room and ask to play games. When we go in, I let them each pick out one game to play with, and try to make sure that they put it away before picking out another game. We also made sure that our more rare/expensive games are out of reach, so we don’t mind if they mess up game components.
