Clue Junior mystery deduction logic board game for kids

Clue Junior: In this spin on the classic whodunit game, players collect clues to solve the mystery of who ate the cake, at what time, and with which drink. The first player to guess correctly wins. Kids and adults alike can move any of the brightly colored figures on the board, meaning parents avoid arguments when two kids want the same piece. The picture-based clue sheets help kids who can’t read yet figure out the puzzle, making this a great game for a wide variety of ages.

Playing cards laid out in two rows of two to make math problems

Nifty 50: All kids need for this game is a standard deck of cards. Each player gets four cards, and rearranges them into two double-digit numbers. Using addition or subtraction, players try to get as close to the number 50 as possible. The person closest gets one point, and anyone who gets exactly 50 earns two points. The player with the most points when the deck of cards runs out wins.
