Free Online Kids Games
Adventure, mystery and fun for kids - all online!
|
If your kids are school aged and are looking for free online kids games then the choice is not always easy. There are heaps of kids websites out there, some good and some not so good! We've dug out some of the top quality ones just for you. Websites for school aged kids are structured a little differently to those aimed at preschoolers. They are generally laid out by age but also by topic- science, math, reading, games and so on. Blogs are also featured- giving quirky facts and information for kids. Teachers and parents are usually seen as part of the 'community' with lesson plans available as is the educational relevance of games and activities. To many a parents surprise many of the free kids online games you find do have educational merit.
Real Arcade
Online video games for kids include Puzzles, Mahjong, Word, Card and Board games, as well as loads of Adventure style games where players do things like:- create a thriving green community
- save the planet
- search the ocean for hidden objects to build the aquarium of your dreams
There is an Action section but even those games are action/adventure oriented rather than having a violent focus. There are loads of free online games for kids to play as well as great range of games to download (some of these are free). By becoming a GamePass member you can buy all of the paid games at a discounted price and receive some of them for FREE!

Poptropica
Aimed at kids 6 and over, Poptropica allows them to easily create their own character to go exploring with. There are 4 'islands' in which to play. Characters do all sorts of cool moves, flips, jumps and somersaults and are able to 'safely' chat with other players, and play games like basketball hoops, skydiving or paintwars. Kids can also play games or explore on their own. To play two-player games, kids need to be reading in order to select from either of the responses. Simple and fun games, but kids also have the challenge of playing against other players. Lots of areas to explore. My 7 year old is hooked!! Poptropicas keeps adding new islands to give kids new challenges. Astro Nights- construct a space ship in order to save the kidnapped princess who is being held hostage in deep space! Too cool! Can you save the princess? Reality TV Island- star in your own reality TV show and come out the champion! Mythology Island- The Greek god, Zeus, needs a hero to go to the underworld, could it be you

Funbrain
A well laid out site with plenty of options for kids from kinder right up to Grade 8. Funblog has fun factual stuff that has even been divided into a boys and girls section. The best way to find a particular activity is to select the age group and scroll through the large selection of games, or to be more specific, type in a topic for a refined search. My Grade Book and the Quizlab are for paid members and aim to improve student performance and grades and increase communication between teachers and parents.
Kaboose Kids Domain
Features its own family friendly search engine. Kaboose features two distinct sections Funschool and Zeeks. Go straight to
Funschool
for 3-11 year olds where play and fun are integral to learning, and plenty of trivia, fun and educational games and seasonal activities.
Zeeks
for 9-14 year olds who are too cool for all that kiddy stuff! It has its own chat areas, polls, Q & A with celebrities and an entertainment zone where they can watch trailers for upcoming movies and see pics of their fave popstars.
Prongo
Another clean, well laid out site with over 30 games and activities to choose from. Fun maths games like Lemonade Larry or Batter's Up Baseball or board games like checkers or connect the dots. Try the Hungry Caterpillar game which is a test of hand-eye co-ordination as well as reflexes.

Moshi Monsters
My daughter's current favorite! Moshi Monsters is definitely for kids who can read, and because of the 'friends' aspect, it is a good opportunity to sit down with your child to talk about cyber-safety.
Players can adopt a monster, fool around with it's colors to personalize it, and then play games, meet friends and earn 'rox' (Moshi Money). All the monsters make very cute noises, and have houses that can be decorated, providing added appeal. There is a 'paid section' where you get exclusive access to extra games and your own Moshi Passport. Parents are required to provide credit card details for this, and in the initial sign up process.
