My son's 5th birthday is coming up and I would like to gift him a board game. Usually only the two of us play and he likes for example Carcassonne Junior, Brandon the Nrave or Karuba Junior. Any good suggestions for a new game, maybe also something collaborative?

Our kids loved the offerings from Orchard Games in preschool, kindergarten and early primary. Some are available in French as well as English.

They are definitely ECD-informed and target specific development points, but the kids loved them and they definitely made them table top gamers.

There was one that was a pick your route game called ‘Round and Round’ where you sang ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ each time a stop was reached. I don’t see it listed currently. It’s not the same as Orchard’s counting game called ‘Bus Stop’ which is also popular.
