My lad is 5, and since I have been out of the UK for quite sometime, I am not up to date with current trends.
Just wanting to know what 5 year olds get up to these days.
I have a 4 and an 8 yr old
Lego (Chima, City, Batman/Spiderman and Ninjago at the moment - Technics for the elder one)
Minecraft - like crack, only more addictive.
and Tag Rugby.
Have a daughter 4.5 (and another 3 yo). She loves mountain biking (just did a blue loop of Swinley with me this morning). All the kids in her class (boys and girls) seem to be going to halls full of trampolines... This kind of thing but they are popping up all over the uk

As far as boy specific stuff goes I don't really know.
Minecraft, tag rugby and mountian biking.... Probably in that order, he has done all three this weekend!
At that age, mine were doing swimming, gymnastics, Rainbows, (almost) Beavers, Lego and various Wii games.
Neither were really riding till they were six.
Mine farts a lot. He seems to enjoy it.
My 5 year old daughter loves reading, writing, board games and swimming. She's not interested in riding her bike at all.
Bless my five year old eldest. He's decided he wants to be a rock climber. He's pretty happy scaling a 17m indoor wall. So happy.
Our 4 year old spent the morning out for a walk with her mum, taking pictures of flowers, animals and "the view" as she told me as she showed me the pictures (on an old digital camera of my wifes). Meant she missed her roller skating session this afternoon but there is always next week.
This summer she is looking forward (really looking forward, been talking about it for about 9 months) to wild camping in our local woods, in a hammock, with me. Over this weekend she added waning to carve a spoon to the list of things to do in the woods (mostly it's cooking, eating, roasting marshmallows and looking in holes with her torch).
She is quite partial to a bike ride, but nothing too organised but probably puts most passion and effort into the occasional, epic, tantrum.
The kids in the school I teach in though? Minecraft will get you speaking the language of most of them, but for gods sake stay away from loom bands, sooooooo last year!

This plus scootering, going to the park, arguing with siblings, kerplunk, buckaroo, frightening persuasiveness and eloquence.

She sounds brilliant!
Swim club,footie practice,Lego,action figures,metal detecting,riding(ish)his bike both on his own and as a tag a along and has just started to get into scaletrix
Cool, mine is pretty much normal then, with his swimming and bike riding. Not so much minecraft (as we've never played it) but he does like building lego on the pad.
He has a lot of lego (city) but once he's built it, he doesn't seem to want to play with it any more.
I'm tempted to get him some scalelectric and RC car, but I don't know if that is really for him, or me.
My 3 yo girl, is quite happy playing with almost any toy, but isn't keen on her balance bike, she much prefers to run, and I mean, she runs everywhere.
6 year old boy. Likes Bikes . Skateboarding. Swimming.rc car.Lego. Ninja turtles. Action man. Drawing and writing and recently quite regularly shooting me in the spuds with his automatic nerf gun
My 8 year old girl at the minute apart from her artwork is watching constant baking videos on youtube and writing down the recipes and instructions into her folder with a view of writing a baking book of her own
Last year she had a loom band business and she employed about 4 kids from the street. She paid them wages bought more bands and still had profit when she retired lol
