D&D 5e for kids from one-shot adventures to campaigns

My goal with this D&D 5e adventures for kids list is to provide you with some kid-friendly and kid-focused options for bringing D&D into your homes or classrooms. There’s a variety of recommendations in the list that include both one-shots adventures and campaigns to run with your kids or class.

There are a ton of kid-friendly tabletop RPGs out there that aren’t D&D, but it’s also OK to play what you are familiar with and share that with the kids in your life. At the same time, a lot of caretakers may have concerns about introducing fighting or scary encounters or complicated mechanics from D&D to their children.

I’m hoping this list helps you to find some balance between the system you want to play (in this case, D&D 5e) and you and your kid’s needs.

Disclaimer, recommendations, and corrections for these D&D 5e games for kids:

Unless I did a review (links to these are on the right side of the list), I am going off of the author’s information about kid-friendliness and mechanics compatibility, so please make sure to also review the materials yourself before reading directly to your kids. D&D, in general, can contain some material that not everyone wants to introduce to their kids, so it is important for each caretaker to make their own judgement as well. I review games regularly (from here and my general games list) to give you as much info as I can to make judgements going in, so check back regularly for more info (the monthly newsletter is a great way to stay caught up!)

If you have recommendations for additional D&D 5e adventures for kids to add or if you see a correction is needed, please contact me through info on the site’s contact page. I am happy to make updates and want all my information to be correct. I’m specifically looking for D&D 5e one-shot and D&D 5e campaign suggestions that are geared at kids or work for all ages as they are written (without modification).

For recommendations, this list’s goal is to have D&D 5e adventures and rewrites that were made specifically for kids or for all-ages (i.e. with the intent of being accessible to both children and adults) versus games made for adults that one could say they have played with kids before. I am willing to branch out and will research all recommendations, but just a note in case something doesn’t ultimately end up on the list.
