Video Games for 11 Year Olds
These video games are low in graphic violence. Two of them are aimed more at your child while another two can be enjoyed equally by your kids and their parents. This is the age when we need to start making sure we have activities with our kids before it’s too late.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
11 year olds have loved this game since it came out. Your kid can twirl the stylus to move the sword or use touch-screen action. The best things are that your kid can play this game with a friend over the wireless connection and that the main hero’s a girl.

I’m recommending a several classic board games and others that can involve the whole family. However, I am also recommending some games that are strictly for kids which can help direct play for your 11 year old with friends and siblings if they are around the same age as your 11 year old.
Monopoly
11 year olds and maybe kids a year younger are perfect to learn Monopoly. Younger kids don’t have the staying power. This is a few years after children have recently mastered money. If mom and dad can stand it your 11 year old will love playing this game with you.

I wouldn’t recommend this game for kids any younger. This age is when they have patience to play by these rules and for this long. Parents may enjoy playing too. Discuss the real meaning behind life options kids’ choose as part of play. Your 11 year old will love it.

Many Kids this age are fans of Twilight New Moon. If your 11 old is one of them, this is THE game that will be a big hit with them and their friends. It’s the second Twilight trivia game played by fans of the saga. Probably not for family entertainment.

This is a tile game that will spark your 11 year olds’ imagination in Medieval France. It’s one of the games kids this age can play that adults may enjoy as well. Family fun will no longer have to be playing board games that are actually bored games for parents.

View Game DetailsScrabble
This classic game’s perfect for 11 year olds. It encourages word making and rewards a growing vocabulary with more points for your child. Kids and adults can play this together for family fun. While the manufacturer recommends it by 8, younger kids are still prone to quickly lose the pieces.
View Game DetailsCard Games for 11 Year Olds
Here are two specialty card games that 11 year olds should find fun. I recommend them as one can build vocabulary while the other is similar to a game with regular playing cards. Both build social skills at an age when free time with friends will soon become dominant.
Quiddler
This card game is for your 11 year olds since it only lasts an hour. It plays like Scrabble with cards. The great thing for the kids is that the idea is to use up your cards. Players using small words aren’t at a disadvantage to opponents with better vocabulary.

This card game is easy to learn for 11 year olds familiar with rummy. As few as 2 kids and as many as 7 can play together. This card game is perfect for large families or children that like to get together with a whole bunch of their friends.

Puzz 3D - U.S. Capitol Building
I recommend this puzzle game for 11 year olds though the manufacturer says 12 and up. This 3-D puzzle of the Capitol for kids this age seems perfect. It has 764 pieces – a big step up from leggo. Sure you may need to help your children the first time.
View Game DetailsPuzzle 3D Camelot Castle
Moving from lego and 500 piece puzzle games should start with your 11 year olds if they enjoy playing them. I think there is no better way than with 3D puzzles even if manufacturers say they are for 12 year olds. This seems great for 11 year olds to me.
