I bet you can guess it. No, it’s not CANDYLAND.
It’s GO FISH. It’s a game with taking turns, picture or animal identification, accessible strategy, and lot’s of possible yelling. Yes, do add the GO FISH yelling (happy yelling) element. This has become a fast staple in our house because our 3 year old and 7 year old are BOTH engaged with this one. This is a great gift idea or a coffee table fixture to entertain a growing toddler in a room with lots of giggles for at least 20 minutes (if not more).
Here a few GO FISH options that are good for this age group. But LET’S BE HONEST, we could ALL use a GO FISH deck to have on hand for adult playtime. Low strategy, easy dinner and drinks, and talk-through games are a surprisingly great gift option for any aged-person. Here are some options for different ages.
