Friday Game Day is very popular in our house. Instead of engaging in our usual learning routines, we pull out a board game or card game to enjoy.

Playing games can teach so many important lessons. Even though the kids think they're not learning, they really are.

It is a well known fact that I am not a fan of board games as much as I am card games. When it's my turn to choose, everyone knows we're going to be playing cards.

Today I thought I'd share the best card game recommendations for kids in my opinion.

The Best Card Game Recommendations for Kids

Our kids are introduced to card games when they're young and when they show interest in playing games with the family.

We always try to start out with the easiest options to ensure the experience is as positive as it can be. Mind you there's always a chance of issues when it comes to losing a game.

Depending on what type of junior card game you're into, there's sure to be something that meets your needs and styles.

Once the kids graduate from our favorite junior card games, the move on to four others.

These games have withstood the test of time. Every single kiddo in the house has loved them!

These games range from a starting age of five to eight years old, but have been played by all our kids within that age frame and beyond.
