Lately, I have been hitting the garage sales and found quite a few games, in brand new condition, for about a $1. This has provided us with lots of variety!

Yahtzee is great b/c it helps teach math at the same time without the kids noticing it. We started playing when our son was 5 and daughter 7 (they are now 7 and 10). Trouble can end in "trouble" depending on how many times our son gets sent back to base.

My son, Robbie, who is 6 enjoys playing Hi-Ho Cherri o, Piranha Panic (his favorite), Chutes and Ladders, and Sorry Sliders. We try to make time to play with him as often as possible. My 20 month old son likes to run away with the pieces and chew on the cards. lol.
