There are tons of great games kids can play on their own. Whether you are looking for a solo logic challenge they can work through or a board game they can play without adult supervision. These games are great for helping kids build confidence by allowing them to work through challenges on their own and for when mom and dad need a break. 

If you’re looking for a non-candy option for you Easter Baskets, try one of these great games! Each are approved by our family and make a great gift for just about any one. Each are easy to learn and play making them great to enjoy on Easter Sunday (and beyond!) with your family.

One of our favorite style of games to play as a family are flip and writes. These games are similar to roll and writes — games where you roll a set of dice and mark things off your player sheet. 

Flip and writes are a similar concept except instead of dice you’ll use cards. Flipping over a card gives players a new option to write down on their player sheet. In many ways, Flip and Writes remove some of the more random elements that come from the dice in roll and writes but are still just as fun if not quite as unpredictable. 

Any of these seven games are excellent options to play with family or friends and ones we reach for again and again! 

My kids and I played Dream Quest recently and had a blast. Dream Quest is a story telling adventure game designed for a parent and child to do together where your choices impact the story you tell. It’s a great choice for families who love choose-your-own-adventure style books and are looking for a unique activity to play together.
