I just taught my 6 year old to play Sorry. I think she enjoyed it and it's a classic =) I bet they can handle UNO at that age as well.

Zingo is a lot of fun.

we like Sorry, Life, Uno, Guess Who, Connect Four, and checkers which both girls can play. DD1 loves Mancala, but DD2 can't seem to get the hang of it yet.

DS and his cousin enjoy "Trouble!" They love that pop o'matic done with the dice.

I would also say Qwirkle or Spot it. We love playing Qwirkle as a family and my six year old loves playing it. You can buy it at Target.

My sons are 6 and 8 and their current favorites are chess, checkers, and Monopoly Deal (card game). They also sometimes still play Uno Attack (have been playing it for a long time) and Battleship.
