Free Online Games for Kids

Are there any sources for free online games for kids? The answer is YES, and there are lots of websites that provide them.

One of the concerns that parents have with letting their kids go online is the danger of exposing them to inappropriate content. This is a valid concern, as there are a great many websites with content that can be described as violent, hateful, or pornographic. One way to avoid the inappropriate sites is to implement some form of filtering.

This is not an article on web content filtering. Instead, I am going to describe a method for identifying websites with age-appropriate free games for kids.

On the positive side, you have a lot of choices for letting your young ones get started with some fun and age-appropriate online gaming!

Be sure to think through your own criteria for gaming sites for your kids. Will you allow your kids to use sites with games that include violence? Guns? Profanity? References to alcohol and drugs?

How do you go about finding gaming sites that are appropriate for kids? First, you can use a search engine to find candidate sites. Just use a simple search phrase to get started, like “free online games for kids”. That will give you lots of sites in the search results.

Now that you are looking at the search results of hundreds, or even thousands, of possible game sites, what do you do next?

Due Diligence!

The next phase of website selection is rather tedious. However, it won’t take long to go through a few sites and select those that seem to fit your criteria. To be thorough in checking out a site, you may have to visit games in several categories, or even visit the policy page(s) to look for existing standards. Be aware that some sites offering games for kids also have adult games that may NOT be appropriate for kids, but are available to all site visitors.

When you are going through this process of identifying sites with free online games for kids, you could bookmark the ones you like. Bookmarking a site saves a link to a site in the browser’s bookmarks or favorites, for easy access. There’s no need to keep a list of sites on paper or on a file on your computer. The list stays with the browser!

If you need to get more specific in the types of games you are searching for, just try narrowing down your search by using a more detailed search phrase. For example, you may want to try searching on one of these phrases (just examples to get you thinking):

free online car games for kids
free online dress up games for kids
free online educational games for kids
free online games for boys
free online games for preschoolers
free online games for teens
free online games for toddlers
