U have a lot of good answers here, I would just like to add that you should simply show him you love him & also tell him you love him in all that you do together. It's not really as simple as it seems, because we all know our kids can get on our nerves (every once in awhile for "our little angels" and almost all the time for those children we lovingly refer to as "our spoiled brats")!!!
Whatever you choose to do will be appreciated by your son, maybe not at that moment, or even tomorrow, but when he becomes a father and is faced with the same situation -- then and only then will he truly appreciate having a loving mother show him the way to love and affection.
I wish you much success, and I know because you are asking the question you are truly sincere and want to really show him/tell him that you love him.

Hi m...... ,
we have "dinner night" one night of the week my son gets to pick what we have. Last night we had cheese quesadillas, mashed potatoes, ravioli, peas and juice.
we have "crazy cards" where we just take a deck of cards and make up a game. Usually several wild cards. It teaches him to make pairs and groups of the same number. When he wins, I make sure to tell him "be a good sport" and we shake hands.
when I pick him up from childcare I will ask him "what was your high today" and he'll tell me about a friend he played games with, or a story the teacher read. I will ask him "what was your low today" and he'll say something they had for snack, or an argument he got into with a friend.
we are working on his reading, during the summer. I will write five or six 3-letter and 4-letter words on a page. We sound them out together, one at a time. When he reads a word correctly, he gets to high-light it.
tickle fights and wrestling matches are a staple with 5/6 year old boys.
twice a week I will ask him what he would like to do after dinner. I give him two choices : we can go swimming, or we can go to the park and play in the sandbox. He loves getting to make the choice. While we're playing he'll say "wasn't this a great idea?"
good luck ~

There isnt any specific game that you can play that will show him how much you love him. Saying I love you is the best way, also lots of hugs and kisses. My son asks me to watch him play an xbox game and to him that is enough. As long as you pay attention to them and take interest in what they do, make a fuss about his abilities and again just saying I love you will make him realise this.

Pick him up and hug him and tell him you love him. Include him in every thing you do. I always allow my boy's to get in the kitchen with me and cook up a storm, not to mention mess! I have a 16 and a 6 year old. I supervise my 6 year old when in the kitchen. Now he can make a killer salad...That he him self likes to eat! Read to him and make different voices when doing so. My kids have a blast when I do this. Hugs and kisses what more could he want!!

Read to him and/or take him to the library and have him pick out books. If he can't find a book he likes, talk to a librarian, or find books on a topic he likes (such as books in which the main character is a dog if he loves dogs). Spend time reading together. When he gets to be a reader (or if he is already), have him read to you, or with you.
Reading to kids is very important.

coloring and drawing together, trips to the zoo, watching stock car racing, find out what intrests your child and run with it have a day of baking cookies and then have a picnic outside in your backyard. spending time with him and reading books would also be benificial. showing "love" to your son doesnt mean that you have to give him fancy things. just being with him and doing normal everydaythings can work wonders :D

He is at the age now where he should be able to start playing board games. He can even help you around the house, Passing the pegs. Just spend time with him. Love is free and all around us.

Has anyone said to introduce fishing? It takes a lot of patience, but this is the right age. Get a "kid" pole and just work with him. If this is not his thing, then of course don't force it.

Just spending time with your son and telling him that you love him should be enough.

Read him a story before he goes to bed every night. It might not seem like much but it is.
