| boltongeordie | 9 | 3 | Yes | There are almost as many games with dominoes as with packs of cards. My kids all started with animal dominoes and enjoyed that immensely. You can then move onto a full set and bring in basic variants of point scoring (.g. lose a point per domino left at the end) before moving on to the more complex variants. My favourite is '3s and 5s' which is great when the kids start to learn their basic times-tables. |
| jeep | 9 | | | For the younger kids, a straight block game is great. As they get older, you can do some of the more inteeresting games for adults. |
| pikkusiili2000 | 9 | 3 | | Depending on the complexity of the game you play, this can be really good at a very young age. |
| pmboos | 9 | | | My son really loves dominoes - the plain black and white ones. It helps them with counting and pattern matching as well as being a tile laying game. The strategy is slowly coming to him. |
| Munin | 8 | 4 | Some | We play with our 5 year old son with only the matching rules, and no scoring. Our set is double-sixteens, so sometimes he needs some coaching to find matches, but he always enjoys the game and requests it occasionally. Our games usually end with a session of setting up and knocking down domino runs or buildings as well. |
| sosullivan | 8 | | | Rating is for Muggins rules with kids old enough to understand multiples of 5 (5, 10, 15, etc.). |
| Styro | 8 | 5 | Some | So many games can be played with a set of dominoes. Our younger kids start by playing just the basic game. Our older kids join us in games of Chicken Foot or Mexican Train. They are good for teaching colors, matching, counting, thinking ahead, and strategy. |
| gaharoni | 7 | | | Nice matching game, but will lose attraction after a while. |
| Larry Welborn | 7 | | | Dominoes are an excellent choice for children because you can scale the game difficulty to the age of the child. I play a simple matching game with my 3 & 5 year old children. As they get older I will introduce them to more complex games such as Muggins or Mexican Train. |
| musicmom | 7 | 3 | Yes | Both parents and kids can enjoy a good game of Mexican Train. There is a lot of luck, but also some planning ahead and strategizing. |
| The Unbeliever | 7 | 6 | Yes | Mexican Train is my kids' game of choice. |
| Admiral Fisher | 6 | 4 | Some | You cant go wrong here! Its not the best game out there, but theres a fair amount going on and you can get different sets - we have standard wooden ones and ones with footballs on. You can even get ones with just one single animal on each side (plus blanks). |
| mcross | 6 | 5 | Some | Kind of boring as a game, but great as a toy. |
| moakm | 6 | | | My 3 kids really like Mexican Train with double twelves. Regular dominos are for setting up in a line and knocking down. :) Maybe when they are older. |
| shumyum | 6 | | | The game goes over all right, but it always turns into toppling the dominoes (which is still fun!). |

| Shade_Jon | 5 | | | This game has a large cultural history, but even for kids, there is not much exciting here, really. |
| SoLove | 5 | | | My daughter (4) has just adopted a cheap domino set of mine and like counting the pips and placing them end to end. She likes my wife and I to sit with her and count along with her. |

We do not really play the game itself, the kids pretty much either match them up, or set them up and knock them down. |
