UNO Junior: Move

UNO for little ones. With added running around.

UNO Junior Move takes the world's most recognisable card game and makes it work for children as young as three. The cards are simplified, the rules are stripped back, and the gameplay has been made genuinely accessible for small hands and short attention spans. But the twist that makes Move special is exactly what it sounds like — action cards trigger physical movements, so players aren't just sitting at a table, they're jumping, spinning, and moving around the room.

How it works

Players match cards by colour, take action cards that make opponents skip or draw extra cards, and try to be the first to get rid of their hand. The movement element means that even when it's not a child's turn, they stay engaged — because the next card might make them leap up and do something. It's the perfect bridge between active play and card game skills, and it tires children out in the process, which is genuinely valuable.

Why it works for young kids

Most card games for very young children sacrifice gameplay for simplicity to the point where they stop being interesting. UNO Junior Move keeps the core competitive hook of trying to be first to empty your hand, which gives children something to actually care about winning, while the movement cards keep energy levels up rather than demanding prolonged sitting-still.
