A simple fantasy role-playing game for ages 4+.
The game requires a coin for d2 and a regular six sided die for d6. The DM can find a fun coin or toy to use for the d2, the tactile element of rolling dice and flipping coins is a big part of the game for younger players. I also use coins for the player's health so that they can see their life going down when their character is injured. You should also find a toy or token that your kid likes to use for their player on the map, you can teach them how to move it around on the map to make the game progress.
Small children won't necessarily know how to role-play when put on the spot, so you might have to guide them, give them a lot of hints, or tell them what to do. Ultimately kids like stories so making the game as much about storytelling as possible works well. It might not be good for children who are easily scared, but kids that like thrilling and scary stories should enjoy it.
