20 Questions for Kids is great.  I know all the answers, so I have to hold back.  Or how about Uno?  (the card game)

Chess is also fun for both.  My 9 year old is really good at it.

Girls usually like puzzles.  I don't know if you do, but the 3D ones are really cool.  We've made the Santa Maria and also a german real working clock tower.

Hope that gives you some ideas.

Boggle. It is a word game that she can play and find small words in her vocabulary and when you play with her you can find much larger words that you can teach her. It is fun for both of you and Educational!

I work in a before school program and we always have this problem - if I ever have to play Candyland again I will put my eyes out. I like Othello - even little kids can develop strategy. Also, consider cribbage. And eight year old can learn to play with a little practice - really good for the math skills.

Cranium. Cranium is a party board game, invented by Whit Alexander and Richard Tait in 1998 and manufactured by Cranium, Inc. Cranium is billed as "The Game for Your Whole Brain." Unlike many other party games, Cranium includes a wide variety of activities. We have had a lot of fun with this game.

Not a board game but my kids at that age loved Uno. Hours of fun and time with them.
