Popular things for 5-6 year old boy

I wouldn’t worry about this at all, at his age. Later elementary- yes- but not now.

Interests are REALLY varied and at that age the kids all tend to play together really well, regardless of differing interests IMO.

This.

Pokémon, Minecraft, and legos are the big 3 at that age amongst boys. Superheroes too (Spider-Man is probably the most popular right now I’d say) and dinosaurs. But really the best thing you can do is ensure he can keep up physically with the other kids. My just turned 5 year old isn’t riding a 2 wheel bike yet and he’s a little behind the kids in my neighborhood on that front. He does do the 2 wheel scooter though which is good. Being able to run fast, throw a ball hard/far, and understand the basics of some games like soccer and basketball is good too.

Mine is into identifying birds and trees and knows more a our sharks and various other wild animals than I ever will. he has not met a truck or train he hasn't liked since he turned 2. Legos (and his younger sister's Duplos) are also a hit. And he could spend entire days on his bike if it were an option.
