It is not always easy to find a board game or card game that is just as much fun for adults to play as it is for kids. This list of the Best Games for Kids includes 20 board and card games under $20 that will be enjoyed by both children and adults.
2020 has been interesting, hasn’t it? With the COVID-19 virus making it’s way through countries, states and cities many schools are postponing classes. So now what? Well, besides taking your vitamins, washing your hands and respecting social distancing you need a plan for the kids at home. I have a plan! In fact, I have twenty of them. I have created a list of 20 of the best games for kids and they are all under $20.
