So many ideas for DS5 birthday. We like Blokus, Snap Circuits, Sequence (especially after DYS gathering grin).

Have you seen Muggins! games? Make sure you check their demo

I just bought Jelly Beans and Knock Out! as ons of DS4 birthday gift. Jelly Beans would be too easy but it's perfect for DS4. Knock Out! played at the high levels is a good game for DS5 (4th grade math). Both of the games have multiple levels of play.

I ordered two more Muggins! games for DS5 birthdays later this summer but obviously haven't tried them.

Isa, I love D&D. We played it a lot back in college.
