My hubby and I were recently cleaning out our closet where we keep our board games. And this struck me as interesting. We have Scrabble and Scrabble Jr. We have Boggle and Boggle Jr. We have the dvd game Scene it and Disney Scene it We have the card games UNO and phase 10, and their jr. versions as well. The list goes on.
We play these with our daughter. Do you buy the jr versions of games to help your kids learn how to play? Do you just wait to teach them certain games when the reach an age?

I didn't know Uno had a Jr. version..cool. I don't have the child versions but my sister has Clue Jr, while I have regular clue which she plays my clue more and likes it. I have Uno and she likes to play that as well. I have scrabble but that is a little bit hard for her now I have tried but we don't get far with only 2-3-4 letter words..lol I just spent the last 3 days playing Bingo,go fish,candyland,and guess who, and some brain game..lol she loved it that I spent a few says with her. My mom dropped me off and said hey next time maybe we can spend some time together..I said I did. She stated no I didn't that I spent the whole time playing with my sister and we even walked to a part a few blocks away when it was warm out in the 50's.

Our daughters are grown now but when they come home we still play board games. We kept the kids board games that our daughtes played with for our Grand-kids. The Grand-kids love playing with games their Mom played it. Board games are not only fun but they encourage working together and losing as well as winning.
WE never worried much about age. We just played whatever they were able to play at any age.

We own Scrabble right now. We used to have Boggle and Uno but I do not know what my daughter did with those. I have never purchased Junior versions before.

I think it is a great idea to have Junior versions of games. It helps a young child feel included and a part of the activities of the evening. However, Jr games are not usually very interesting for the adults. I need to focus on playing more board games with my daughter. I really need to make that a priority.

the only jr version that we have is scrabble which my parents bought my kids when they were younger. oh, and i forgot, we have trivial pursuit jr as well, but mostly even with scrabble we played and we played in teams. hubby and i had one of our daughters on our teams each. two parents/2 kids. worked out perfectly!

I have several jr versions of games that we play but it seems the jr ones are the only ones that we ever use anymore!! We don't usually have the time to play the older versions of them anymore as the kids always like to play with us.
