Looking for ways to keep your kids entertained on a dreary day? You might not often think about card games, but they can be a fantastic way to engage little ones. Remember when you used to play classics like War or Go Fish? Most children’s card games are simple to learn and take up hardly any space in your overflowing toy closet. So why not dig out a deck of cards and introduce your kids to some timeless fun? Here are 15 super easy card games that your kids will enjoy.
1. Memory
With a variety of versions available, from Frozen to farm animals, you can find a Memory game that captures your child’s imagination. They could play for hours!
2. Happy Families
Similar to Go Fish, in this game, players collect sets of “families” (like hearts or spades) rather than just individual cards.
3. Old Maid
This classic game is a favorite among kids. You can easily find a deck at any store, even in budget spots.
4. Go Fish
While you can use a themed deck, a standard deck of cards works just as well for this fun game.
5. Sushi Go
For something a bit different, this adorable game allows players to create their own sushi rolls. It’s a hit with kids!
6. War
This beloved card game has even made its way to Vegas tables! Just focus on the fun, no need for any high-stakes pressure.
7. Snap
Deal out the cards evenly to each player. Players take turns flipping cards into the center, and if two cards match, the first to shout “Snap!” wins the pile.
8. Slapjack
Similar to Snap, but here you’re only looking for jacks. Be quick to slap the deck when a jack appears!
9. Uno!
Some of us were just too nice in this game. Remember, it’s all about strategy and a bit of friendly competition.
10. Uno Flip
The fun continues with this twist on the classic game.
11. Dos
Another entertaining variant of Uno.
12. Skip-Bo
This simple yet competitive game is reminiscent of playing with family members in the past.
13. Crazy Eights
The goal here is to get rid of your cards first, and keep in mind eights are wild!
14. Avocado Smash
If you want a game with an adorable mascot, this one is sure to delight.
15. Exploding Kittens
