The 3 Most Popular Online Platform Games for Kids

By Julia Montgomery


If you're looking for kids games online there are definitely plenty of them available. We find applications all the time that can be used on smartphones, as well as a PC, laptop, or iPad. Granted, they don't present the same type of appeal as a game like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty for the Xbox, or God of War for the PS3.

However, they do give you the necessary tools to keep the kids entertained while driving from point A to point B, at the doctor's office, or anywhere else where behaving is important. Plus, if you're feeling stressed at work or need a moment to recompose yourself, kids games online could be the perfect solution.

Slime Laboratory is a great choice for kids. It's simple but challenging at the same time, which is a perfect combination for your child. You take your slimy little friend through one level after another. The boards move left to right, but up and down buttons on the keyboard offer additional features.

For instance, pressing up will allow you to jump onto various obstacles. You must stay away from lasers in order to survive and complete some levels. You can also become bigger if you find additional pieces of slime. When you're as big as possible you will be able to break walls, but if you come across a small opening you can reduce your size and squeeze through.

Another great platform game is the FloodRunner 2. This particular choice has even won awards for its brilliance and challenging nature. Your goal is to take the runner from left to right and avoid the wave that is lurking in the distance. You must hop from one platform to another without falling into the green tidal wave.

There are all kinds of variations to this obstacle course that makes it addictive. Since the goal is to gain as many points as possible, kids will play it for hours if you let them.

If you're looking for action games, but want to make sure it is kid-friendly choose something like Forks and Arrows. It's one of the most entertaining kids game online, which includes some great intro music. However, it's not a game where clicking your mouse and using the arrow keys will suffice. You will need to use the letter Q to go back to your previous weapon and the letter W to select a weapon.

The object of the game is to keep your fortress safe. There are several levels to the game and you can make purchases with the money you earn. You can grab hired help, repair your fortress, purchase new weapons, and buy special extras when you're in a sticky situation.

All three of these kids' games online can be extremely fun. Most importantly they can teach your child hand/eye coordination, the use of money, and just how to have fun.
