Buying a board game for a 7 year old can be more difficult that other ages on this list. A good majority of board games have a minimum age of 8+ and kids aged 7 are just below that suggested age threshold. In saying that, there are still plenty of board games that are age appropriate for girls of this age. Below I have complied this list of my top board games for 7 year old girls and I hope it will be helpful.
Ticket to Ride First Journey
Number of Players: 2-4
Time: 15-30 min
Pricing: High
Ticket to Ride: First Journey is the kid adaption of a popular European style board game called Ticket to Ride. This game differs from the original with a smaller map and a faster game time. This is a great game for 7 year old girls who loves trains and is a great way to start teaching them about geography. I personally love the ticket to ride series and see this as a great Segway to kids into the more serious board games when they are older.
