20+ Cooperative Board Games for your next Game Night

We’re all pretty competitive in our household, but sometimes we just want to work together with a good ol’ cooperative game. 

Instead of going head to head against your family, now you’re teaming up towards a common goal!

During these first few weeks of summer break, we’ve welcomed a new baby into our family and have been spending a lot of time at home together. While adjusting to our new life as a family of nine, we’ve been getting in a lot of quality game time together.

If you’ve been following us for a while, you know we love a good strategy game to sink our teeth into, but recently, and largely thanks to the newborn sleep deprivation, we’ve been prioritizing quick games we can play with the kids. These have been perfect for making sure we can get in special time with our older kids in quick bursts between newborn naps. They’re perfect for your next family game night too!

If you need a party game for a really big group, try one of these party games! Great for 10 or MORE players!

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for our tips on hosting a large group for game night!

When kids hit age seven, they’re really on the cusp of enjoying a large portion of the board games available.

Many games list age 8+ on the box and often times seven year olds can play the game just fine — especially towards the latter half of age 7. When choosing games for kids of this age, we try to think of where they are developmentally. On average, 7 year olds have a slightly longer attention span, are still beginning to read though many may be excelling in this area as well, and they are excited to try newer less “kid” feeling things as they start to feel more like “big kids.”

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite games to play with 7 year olds. Kids are all unique and develop at their own pace, so if your child isn’t ready to play these games yet, that’s okay! Also, please remember that these games are by no means only for 7 year olds and can be a great fit for kids both younger and older!
