When shopping for card games for the kids in your life, you should consider the child’s age range, how difficult the instructions are to master, how long the games will last, and how much space you’ll need to play.
“Playing card games and board games are very important to help children learn and reinforce cognitive skills, thinking, memory, motor coordination and social skills at a minimum,” says Darby Fox, LCSW, a child and adolescent family therapist. The best card games for kids can do more than just promote a little friendly competition. These games come in a variety of shapes and sizes-from the classic Go Fish to more elaborate games that involve full body involvement like Throw Throw Avocado. Card games are a great way to keep younger minds (and hands) busy during down time.
