Games for 8–10 year olds
At 8–10, kids want real challenges: games that take skill, a bit of planning and a few tries to master. This collection mixes arcade action with games that quietly teach something.
Land rockets on the Moon and Mars in Rocket Lander, dock a cruise ship through storms in Harbor Captain, or run a whole farm in Harvest Hollow. Math Blast drills mental arithmetic against the clock, and World Map Quiz teaches where countries are. When it's time for pure fun, there's Cosmic Shooter, Tank Brigade and Broom Delivery.
Rocket Lander, Harbor Captain and Broom Delivery have a "Show me" button that plays the level for you, so a stuck player can learn by watching instead of giving up.
