Simple free online games for children

polar bear cubs

I went looking for some online games for children that I could play online with Linus, unfortunatly most kids or childrens games were too complex or goal-oriented. Linus likes games that are simple and that let him use his own imagination.

The very first 'game' that I hacked together involves a polar bear. You use the cursor (arrow) keys on the keyboard to move the polar bear around the screen.

Ideas (should you lack imagination)

  • Get the bear to a place on the screen
  • Get the bear to where the mouse cursor is

Known working on :

  • Windows XP / Firefox 2
  • Windows XP / IE 7
  • Windows XP / IE 6
  • Linux / Firefox 1.5
  • Windows 2003 / IE 6
  • Windows 2003 / Firefox 1.5

These may not be the best online games for children, but I think some very little people will like them.
