Beachcomber Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Can anyone point me in the direction of some really simple basic FREE computer games for kids? I’m thinking about something to move the mouse around and click on colored squares or animals or something like that. Nothing advanced. Before the “Googlegangers” dive in, yes I have “done a Google” but most of the “FREE” stuff is not free but you don't find this out till you have downloaded a lot of rubbish with the game that is not always easy to get rid off. So any nice people out there who know of any simple games, would be pleased to hear from you. Should I post this on the computer forum? Thanks Beachcomber.

Gazza Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Not free but my kids have some of the Disney Activity Games that are sold in the shops. I think around 150b for original. Buzz Lightyear, Little Mermaid etc. Games include the likes of finding an item of a particular colour and shape in a picture. Spot the difference, painting by numbers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozymandious Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 For really young kids try http://www.boohbah.com/zone.html Flash fun and bright colors and sounds my 1 year old loves staring at it. (Can’t really move the mouse yet though so I have to do it for her) Online game requires internet connection Another site with 1000's of free games is www.gamehippo.com Has lots of puzzle adventure and arcade Mostly downloadable games You will need to sort out appropriate games for youngsters. http://www.newgrounds.com/game/ This is a site that you will defiantly need to filter as there is adult subject matter and violence in this site Mostly online games requires internet connection. www.shockwave.com Losts of fun arcade and action Mostly suitable for all ages Most of the Content is on-line but there are also down loadable versions. And my favorite http://www.womgames.com/index.php Snood! It’s got Snood for windows or for Mac This is the original puzzle shape blasting game it can be fun, it can be challenging and it can also be addictive. You have been warned. Enjoy! -Ozyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
