Best Electronic Board Game Gifts for Kids During the Holidays

You can give the kids the lights, sounds and electronics they desire this holiday by adding these updated versions of classic board games to your shopping list.

Guess Who? Extra is an updated version of the mystery face guessing game. It now comes with features like a game board that keeps track of your score, and has electronic lights, sounds and a timer. The game has 4 ways to play and is rated for ages 6 to 12, which makes it very versatile for a family with children of different ages.

Yahtzee in an electronic hand-held form would make a perfect gift idea this holiday season. Children of all ages love Yahtzee and this electronic version makes the perfect game to play in the car, while traveling. There are no dice to lose and no score papers to keep up with. And since it is priced under $20, it is a very affordable choice.

Electronic Battleship has to be one of our favorite electronic versions of a classic board game. While not the traditional board game, Battleship has long been a favorite family game. Simulated battle sounds and voice commands are among some of the features. There are also special weapons, radar and search planes. Want even more of a twist on the old classic? Pick up the Star War Battleship game this holiday season.

Hasbro is still marketing The Game of Life, but now it comes with the automated LIFEpod to help players manage their money, houses, cars and family matters. There are so many ways to play this game that no two games will ever be the same and no it is even easier to keep track of your life and assets.

Sorry! Card Revenge is an unexpected twist on the old favorite. A giant electronic pawn comes to life and directs game play. 2-4 players can play this game and the giant pawn is a fun feature. Rated for ages 6 and up, this allows for all the kids to be able to play a game together, or the adults can join in to.

No gift list would be complete in our eyes without Monopoly. Monopoly Electronic Banking, for ages 8 and up, really brings the old classic into the modern day. Instead of cash, you'll be swiping debit cards when you buy properties and pay your rent. This feature really appeals to me as a parent. No more bent, torn and lost money. Modernized tokens include a space shuttle and a flat-screen tv!

All of these games can easily be found at online websites or at retail stores like Wal-Mart, Target and Toys R Us.
