We just got in three great games that make terrific birthday gifts for 8-10 year olds. My personal favorite is the Totally Gross! Science Game. Kids think it is silly and fun, but we parents love it because it is educational. Personally, my nearly 8 year old son Josh thinks the actual “jar of slime” is the best part. Yes, the slime plays a role in the game – the kids stretch the slime on the score card to track their progress – talk about an incentive to answer correctly!

Another wonderful game for this age group is Who? What? Where? Jr., which can be played with as few as 2 players but really  is better for 4 or more. It actually makes a great game for a sleepover.

Additionally, boys this age will love Sports Challenge for Kids – a game that lets them play tabletop versions of their favorite sports, all while learning sports trivia. It’s my son Josh’s dream in a box!
