My kids have been going through the Holiday ads and circling things that they want for Christmas, even my youngest son who is 3 years old. It is so cute. He even asks me what I want for Christmas. Today, I wanted to share with you the top four board games that my kids have picked out. They have added them to their Christmas list.

Logo Board Game
Logos are all around us and this game was made to test your knowledge. There are over 400 cards, that feature multiple questions or a photo. When you are presented with a card, you have to figure out what the logo for the photo or multiple questions. We are all exposed to consumer marketing, even children, after all that is why I am creating this list.
My kids have seen these games on television or their friends told them all about it. Marketing is everywhere including your favorite shows.

The Game of Life
This is a fun classic game that I enjoyed when I was growing up. If you don’t have this game in your game closest to pull out on family game night, you are missing out on a great game for the entire family, it does contain small pieces so it is rated for older children. Then take a spin and drive down the twisting roads. Simply choose college or a career and start on your journey. Along the journey you might pick up a spouse and a few babies while making money along the way. The first person to retire gets a large sum of money and the wealthiest person that retires wins the game.

The Bounce off one sounds so fun. My boys need some new games so perfect for them.
I love Game of Life, such a great spirited family game, lots of laughs and you don’t know whats going to happen next! x
I loved this game growing up. I need to see if we have it in our game closet. It would be fun playing with the kids next week when everyone is out of school.
I’ve seen The Game of Life before, though I’m not familiar with the other board games. Am I getting old? Haha. 🙂
Nah you not getting old, they just make more games today and it’s hard too keep up.
According to the directions, it sounds like a ton of fun. I might have to add it to our game collection.
Yes it does. I finally saw a commercial on nickelodeon last night.
Great list! I need to get some of these for my classroom at school. Bounce Off sounds liek a good game for motor skills!
We love the game of life. I actually got a cool Haunted Mansion version of it in Disney World the last time we went and my boys LOVE it.
That version sounds awesome. I wonder if it is a Disney exclusive.
I used to love Clue! that is one of the best games ever created in my opinion.
I love it too. 🙂 I might have to check out the newestimate edition too.
Great point Heather! Bounce off would be a great game for developing motor skills. The balls are similar to a ping pong ball.
I love board games. I played Life and Clue many times!
I used to absolutely love playing board games when I was a kid, but we don’t play nearly enough of them now. Would love to get a few great ones I remember to share with my stepdaughters.
