I forgot Sorry- can you still get it? We played it as children.

We find Sorry is a good game for all ages - including 60+. grin

I would agree with J52's suggestions.

The age gap is difficult. The 7yr old can play practically anything but the 4 yr old can't.
We found Coppit best for all ages. You could try Connect 4.
There are lots of card games. We started with Strip Jack Naked ( or beg off my Neighbour if you want the polite name) New Market is good. Pellmanism, Fish - Google some. Snap is boring and the 4 yr old stands little chance unless people let them get in first.

It's difficult to get it right with that age gap, as one can read and use number and the other can't.
We found that the games produced by Orchard toys are brilliant. They have educational value, are beautifully produced and are fun.
You can go on line to get them, if you don't have a good toy shop near you.

Sometimes we play Frustration, it's rather like Ludo, but you can't lose the dice! x

My grandchildren are 7 and 4 a boy and a girl. My GS is very computer orientated and likes Top Trumps. My GD still likes to play schools etc., whereas my GS is growing out of games of make believe.

Can any grans recommend a board game or similar that they could play together. I've tried snap but it's not popular.
