Answer 2

Monopoly has a talking game out for ages 4 and up. It requires no reading and helps if kids have problems with counting and colors. I bought one for my 3 year-old son to be from the "Easter Bunny) as he will be 4 this Summer.

I would try to go with board games. You might want to try these:

Monopoly Junior

Candyland

I also found out about this game called Survivor. You get a couple of items(about 5) and place them under a blanket. Then you have the kids get in a line. One by one you uncover each item. Then you ask the kids how you would survive on a deserted island. If the answer is acceptable then they stay in the game. If the answer is not accpetable they are out. Last one standing is the winner.

Answer 4
