If you intend to play something with her, I can recommend the board game Carcassone. Even if it's not children's game, it's perfectly playable for a 7-year old with some adjustments to the scoring (skip field-scoring). No reading or calculation apart from simple addition is needed.


There is Carcassonne Junior https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/41010/my-first-carcasson...


Relatedly, There's also Dragomino, a kid friendly version of Kingdomino.

There's also the "Princess Princess Ever After" edition of the classic card game "love letters". Minor rule changes, just a visual update mostly.

Neither are explicitly educational, but both are fun and have strategy.


Carcassone is great and there are a ton of games that are fun in that vein; check out boardgamegeek.

Whatever you do do NOT buy all the expansions at once! Only one at a time over time.

There are games like Agricola that even when you lose you feel you built something, which can be nice for overcompetitive types.
