My three year old isn't ready for most of these so I thought I'd share a waiting word game we play in case others are looking for something for preschoolers. It doesn't require any materials and has really improved my kid's phonetic awareness:

Robot Talk - one person talks like a robot and asks for help saying the word they are thinking of - but they just give the component sounds. E.g. "Help me please - I'm trying to say the word d--o--g." The other player then blends the sounds together to say "dog". Really hamming up the robotic monotone makes this a kid favorite.

You can start with the kids just guessing short words of things they can see, and later have them take turns being the robot (breaking down the words themselves is more challenging) and trying longer words.

It's so great that you can play something with your kids that you all enjoy but which also helps improve their language and literacy skills as well. These kinds of games go hand in hand with raising confident readers!

I Love Bananagrams and Boggle, but never tried Quiddler so that's definitely one I'm going to have to check out!

Thanks for sharing!
