Internet is full of free kid’s online games but finding the right one can be an overwhelming task and also can be time consuming. But even after hard work some fails to select the best and simply fall short visuals, quality of graphics and even may not be age appropriate. There are some very good sites on the internet where you will find some very good games and activities, songs, stories, rhymes, recipes for kids, jigsaws and puzzles and plenty of other activities for little kids which are really worthy. These sites are especially designed using children’s favorite movie or cartoon characters which automatically attracts the attention of the children thus making learning so much fun for kids.
Kids love games and the websites is especially said to be superb not in terms of just playing but quite informative and educational especially for preschool kids. There is some fantastic free kids’ online games website on the internet that claims to provide good educational online games making learning really enjoyable for kids. Some of these fun sites demonstrate; Alphabets & Numbers, Fun Songs & Music, Shapes & Colors, Puzzles & Jigsaws and lots of other Fun Games with your kids favorite characters. Though finding these sites for your child is overwhelming but nevertheless rewarding.
Learning can be an entertainment with these online games where your child/children can see their favorite cartoon character. They will love the variety these online games sites have to offer whether it be puzzle time with Thomas Tank Engine and Friends or dressing up her favorite Barbie Doll thus using her creativity. Thus learning becomes more enjoyable and even more exciting, when the kid gets the chance to play with these popular characters. The learning environment is also made more entertaining with great graphics, visuals and sound effects that sometimes old people gets beguiled enjoying some moments with their kids.
There is some fantastic free kids’ online games website on the internet there are top 3 fun kid websites and they are British Council Site, Cbeebies and Sesame Street. British Council Site provides plenty of fun songs for teaching kids their numbers, letters. It is made more entertaining with funnier animation that goes along with the songs. Cbeebies is saturated with plenty of good games, stories, coloring pages, recipes, and many more for young children. Long list of popular characters like Bob the builder, Teletubbies, Tweenies all can be located here. Sesame Street is popular for its fantastic collection of educational games. Games including alphabet learning, numbers, shapes and colors, match and sort games, coloring pages, stories and plenty of other fun games and activities could be found in this site. Thus learning is no more brain racking but it is more of exercising the kids’ brain.
However, in my experience with computer shops here in the Philippines, I have seen elementary school pupils and high school students skip classes and steal money from their parents just to play their favorite online games. They’re not contented playing educational games like Sesame Street or Teletubbies. They love war games. They adore action-packed games. Is this healthy and beneficial? I definitely don’t think so. For computer center owners, of course it is beneficial but for the parents and students themselves, I really don’t think so especially that addiction is pretty obvious in their systems.
I have nothing against gaming. I have nothing against computer center owners/operators. No. Don’t get me wrong please. In fact I can’t go against the whole thing. But I’m concerned that students someday will know more about their RAN characters than great men in history who helped shaped modern civilization and invented great products. I’m just afraid general education is taking a backseat in exchange for a few hours of pleasure, for a fad. Let’s face it, games are just fad. They don’t last very long like an accidental discovery.
In view of these, how can gaming addiction be curbed? A lot of people benefit from them, right? That I leave to time to answer because no one really knows when will companies like EA Games and Nintendo stop earning billions of dollars.
I can only hope that gamers should still consider education a top priority. Out there in the real world, times are tough and people can be harsh. Unlike in the virtual world where they can be kings, queens or super warriors, the real world offers no upgrades without real efforts. It offers no rewards without real good deeds.

I wish some game guru would invest in an online game that will be based on history or some other academically based characters.
