The best very easy card, dice and board games for small children?
I teach a small group of children in special class as part of my job and am always looking for very simple games to play with them.
They are very special (I mean that in the most positive way) and the two rules that I have to follow for any activity are:
- It must require almost no skill or ability and be based entirely around luck.
- It must have no physical element whatsoever as one girl has trouble moving her hands
The type of games that work well include bingo, beetle, dominoes, snakes and ladders etc. but if anyone has any more suggestions of simple games that they have played with their kids at home, I would appreciate it.

Small children should never be allowed to play dice games - dice are a choking hazard.

Army makes a good point...but you can use games with "contained" dice like Trouble. Apart from that: you will find some good choices here [[ https://www.bhg.com/party/best-board-games-of-all-time/ ]] and here [[ https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-board-games-of-all-time ]] In line with what you wrote, I recommend Candy Land, Mother's Helper (if you can find that great game), maybe Sorry! and Uno.

Thanks for the suggestions and there is no issue regarding dice. The students are special, so their level is similar to small children.

I just googled board games for special needs children to see what's available. Apparently there are a lot of games specially designed for special needs children. Here's a link from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Games-Special-Needs-Children/s?k=Games+for+Special+Needs+Children
