One option, especially if the weather's not the best, or maybe as a reward, are computer games. With the console games getting more and more complicated the younger kids can struggle a bit, so we turn to basic PC games for the younger set, and leave the Playstation to those a bit older.
My favourite online kids game site is Yogo Alley. The site is part of the marketing for Yogo flavoured yogurt in Australia, but it is not overpowering and does not require you to purchase or register (although you can sign up to unlock extra games, we have plenty of fun with the standard games).
The site has your character located in a street scape, where each game is represented by a store front. You simply walk through the front door of the game you would like to play.

ReplyDeleteWell that link is 9 years old, I guess they don’t do the Yogo thing anymore.
ReplyDelete;( i remember playing this ages ago, its so sad how its taken down.
ReplyDeletebbbbest game
ReplyDeletei remember that game. i miss it so much
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit sad that we've lost this little bit of Australian internet history. I can't remember whether the game was flash or java based, but theoretically somebody could have archived the .swf file or whatever. I'm doubtful the publisher would be willing to distribute the game again as companies are generally very protective of their IP.
ReplyDeleteSadly, it may just be a figment of our memories from now on.
Does anyone else remember the Car repair game?
ReplyDeleteyes!! that was fun
DeleteI wish I could play this again i loved the submarine game and the sewer maze one.. I hope someone one day can release it
