8 Year olds are the perfect age to start playing the games that most adults play. This list starts with the classics that I know 8 year old girls can pick up fairly quickly and are great games to build skills in strategy and arithmetic’s in preparation for harder games that they can play when they get older. This list sticks to the main classic board games that I feel most kids should play at least once since they are very likely to play them more often as they get older.
