I want to go on adventures with my kid. I’m not an experienced GM so something or things that are relatively simple to run and also levelled for a 5 or 6 year old. Could be campaigns or one pages

Just understand that playing a game with kids that young means throwing out the rules as soon as you start. So you need something with absolutely minimal rules (or you’re wasting you time) and a story that’s easy for them to latch on to.

I love using Honey Heist with kids. It’s basically Lasers & Feelings, but you’re a bear disguised as a human trying to steal honey from humans. Kids can really take that premise and run with. If you run multiple sessions do it picaresquely, where each session is a self-contained episode.

do it picaresquely

Thank you for the new word! I’m sharing it in the community I put together to share new, fun words I find!

Also, thank you for the game suggestion! My children are older and I am able to play more complicated games with them (typically Pathfinder) but my niece is getting older and in a couple years I’ll probably try Honey Heist with her!
