Board games for a 5 year old?

[itsblissmas]

What board games would you think would be great for a 5 year old? I want to buy some for my little boy for Christmas.

Right now we just have a little paper game he got when he was in the hospital once. You roll the dice, move your piece and do what it says (if anything) and he just LOVES it so I figure he'd like regular board games too.

Thanks for your help!

We love board games and have been playing them with our oldest for several years now..the youngest does not really have the hang of it yet, but she tries.. lol ... my oldest is 7. She even plays adult games like Tssuro, and a few more.

Chutes and ladders and Candyland were my favorite when I was little! :)
