We’re sharing the best board games for five year olds! Updated for 2024.

It’s my belief that a parent can never have too many quick activities to do with their kids. I’m always on the hunt for games that have fast play times for the days that either my to-do list is too long, bed time too close, or attention spans are too short.

Any one of these below games are what I happily reach for! They are fun and engaging for kids and parents while only taking about 15 minutes or less to play. A win for everyone! 

Five is the year I felt like my little babies became kids. So many changes happen. They stop looking like little babies, they are ready or almost ready to head to Kindergarten, and they’re able to do many things on their own without the assistance of a parent. All these physical and emotional developments make them the perfect age for some new and exciting board games.
