Violent and inappropriate games for children are widely released and circulated on the Internet and in CD stores. Finding engaging and educational games for children can be quite challenging. Below are some games that are very suitable, healthy, and truly beneficial for children. Moreover, some of these games also provide enjoyable and relaxing moments for adults.
Backyard Football and Backyard Skateboarding

Cinderella Dollhouse 2
 |
Little girls often dream of princesses and magnificent castles from fairy tales, and they will be thrilled with the game Cinderella Dollhouse 2. This game is developed by the famous animation company Disney. Cinderella Dollhouse 2 is decorated like a wedding party. With the help of a fairy godmother, players can choose flowers, invitations, and spectacular fireworks… and finally enjoy the fairy tale moments between Cinderella and the prince in the evening.
Disney does not set an age limit for players of Cinderella, but we believe this game is suitable for younger girls. The activities are simple and somewhat limited; players only need to choose 6 items in each selection and watch colorful and engaging animated sequences. This game is priced at $19.99, and you can find more details at http://www.disneyinteractive.com/
Creatures: Village and Creatures: Exodus
 |
If your children love pets but are not yet old enough to care for them, let them try the game Creatures to test their abilities. Children can take care of quirky characters called Norns, guiding and teaching them good values… Creatures: Village features beautiful graphics and is very suitable for children aged 5 and older, while Creatures: Exodus is appropriate for children from 8 years old.
Both versions have a relatively slow pace, allowing players to contemplate and predict the Norn’s next actions. It is interesting to see how Norns interact with their world. However, these activities are not particularly entertaining, so children who are patient and curious will enjoy this game.

Didi and Ditto: First Grade
 |
Fierce wolves are destroying everything. They occupy the forest and chase the sea otters and their friends away while enslaving all other animals… Now, players will help the sea otters try to drive these wolves out of the forest. If successful, the wolves will never return!
Didi and Ditto are very suitable for children aged 5 to 7. The beautiful 3D animated landscapes and numerous fun activities along with music and magic captivate children. Players only need to click the mouse to create fun animations on the screen, and the scenes in the game can be replayed anytime. One downside of this game is that the screen often “freezes” several times during testing, and the game does not provide necessary instructions about the objects.
