The first level is obviously the easiest and one you should be able to complete with just one shell.  You start off having three pink shells available to Gary.  You’ll see an arrow that points to the right which, when pressed, will let you take a little better look at your target.  Your Puffy Fluffy is set up on a few wooden boards and all it really takes it hitting the bottom of the boards to make him fall and be eliminated.  Grab the back of the launcher (it looks like a cork) with your mouse and click and drag it back, the further you go, the stronger the launcher and the farther your shell will go.  You can also adjust your launch angle up and down.  For this first level, don’t aim too high or your shell will launch over the top of the Puffy Fluffy.

After your first shell is launched, you’ll see little white dots showing the track your shot took. Make sure, on your second shot, you look at what your first shot did and adjust the angle to get the shell exactly where you want it to go.  If you were a little short of your target, move the angle of the launcher up a bit and your shell will go further.  Sometimes it’s best to launch the shell almost straight up in the air so it can come down on a specific spot.  Most of the time you can take a full shot, but you may want to experiment with a little less power to get your shell right where you want it to go.

Pay attention to what type of shell you have in the launcher because some of them do special things like blow up and smash straight down on the ground when you click the screen.  You’re going to want to experiment with each of these and try different ideas with them.  On level three, for example, your target is on the other side of this giant boulder. Thankfully, your first shell is one of the ones that smashes into the ground when you click the screen.  Here’s how to use it so you can get rid of all the Puffy Fluffies with just one shot.  Make sure your launch angle is high enough to send your shell well over the top of the boulder and then let it go.  Watch carefully because you’re going to need to click on the screen at the exact moment your shell is over the Puffy Fluffy at the top of the tallest board.  When you do this, your shell will be thrown straight down, hopefully hitting the boards and eliminating the Puffy Fluffy.

This is a fun game that will actually teach you a little bit about physics and geometry.  To make it extra difficult, don’t just settle for passing each level, make sure you’re earning the Gold Reward each time.  If you don’t do this, go back and retry the level until you do.  After a while you’ll get the hang of the game and start cranking through the levels with ease.  Just remember, for some of them you’re going to have to be a bit creative to complete it.  Don’t always go for the obvious answer and you’ll get through the more difficult ones.

One person starts with the beginning of the story.  For example, dad may start off with something like “A very long time ago, in the deep dark forest where nobody had ever traveled, a little bear cub was climbing up a tree to try to get to his little sister bear on the first branch up.”  This could go on even further or dad could stop right there.  Just make sure you don’t let them go on too long or too short.  You want to make sure each person is adding a good amount to the story without taking it over.

If mom and dad get really creative telling the story with a lot of great descriptions and colorful additions, it helps the kids become more creative.  It’s kind of up to mom and dad to make this a learning game.  Also, feel free to get a little crazy with the story and add in stuff that is just silly and makes people laugh.

We really enjoy this game as a family and always like to include other members of the family in every story.  We’ll even add in little things about each person that we all know are true or at least rumored to be true.

Remember, even though this is one of our car games for kids, it’s also a great game to play when your camping and sitting our the campfire or heading off to sleep in the tents.  You may even be able to turn this into a fun kids party game.

If you can do it, bring along some type of recorder and keep the story for listening back.  You may even want to have somone write it out and everyone helps drawing pictures to include with the story.  It’s a fun little project that creates a souvinere to help you remember the trip.

The basic idea of Red Rover is to try to run and break through a wall of kids holding hands together.  If you do break through, you can steal a player to help strengthen your wall of kids.  If you don’t break through you’ve been captured and join up with the team you tried to beat.  It’s a bit more complicated than that, but not too much.  It’s fun to play outside in good weather or bad.  Sometimes it’s more fun when the rain has been falling and it’s muddy or even in the snow.  Just be careful and don’t slip and fall.  Also, to keep things safe, don’t let a big 13 year old play with a group of 5 to 8 year olds.

Start the game by spliting the teams evenly into two groups.  Make sure you don’t have all the bigger kids on the same side.  Set each group at least 20 or more yards apart from each other.

Each group then forms a wall or line of people clasping hands and facing each other.  Once you’re set, one team will call “red rover, red rover, send ____ right over.”  Selecting someone from the other team to try to come over and try to break through the wall.  For this reason, it’s smart to pick the smallest person first.

If the person called over doesn’t break through they are “captured” and become part of the team they couldn’t overpower. This is kind of neat because it automatically evens out the teams and helps the smaller or weaker kids gain an upper hand quickly.

If the person called over does break through, they can select one person from the opposing team and capture them.  They both go back to the winning team and lock hands.

This process going back and forth until you end up with all of the people on the same team.  You could end up with one really strong person who breaks through the weakest link on the bigger team and suddenly they can bring back someone to help them out.  For this reason, Red Rover games can last a fairly long time.

Remember, keep it safe and fun and don’t try to hurt anyone.  This game doesn’t have to be too violent.  I hope you enjoy it.

Carly, Sam and Freddie are the main characters on the show and that’s who you’ll be dealing with in this game.  The truth is, it could be just about anyone up there, but knowing it’s Carly, Sam and Freddie makes it more enjoyable for most fans of iCarly.  In case you didn’t know, iCarly is an extremely popular show on Nick about two girls who start a very successful web TV show.  Their friend Freddie helps with all of the video and technical stuff.  It’s actually a very fun show.

In this game, you’ll have to find the “real” Carly, Sam and Freddie in a crowd of imposters or “look alikes.”  You’ll do that be eliminating people based on what their wearing.  There are 3 wheels on the screen.  One for each character, one for the piece of clothing (shirt, pants, and jacket) and lastly one for the color of that clothing.  So, you can ask, for example, “is the real Sam wearing a blue jacket?”  Press the “=” sign and find out.  If it’s a no, you can click on the imposter look alike Sams.  So start eliminating all of the look alike Sams with blue jackets.  Next find out if she’s wearing a red jacket.  If not, eliminate those.

This game takes place in a giant arena and you’re standing in the middle of it.  So you’ll have to check all four sections of the arena to find the real characters.  There are some strategies you can use to speed up the search, but I won’t give those away.  You’ll quickly figure them out.  If you think you’ve found the real Carly, Sam or Freddie, mark them and find out if you’re correct.  You have to find the real deal for each one of the three.

If it sounds easy, it’s not.  If you get to the point where it’s lost it’s challenge, you increase the difficulty by reducing the time you have to search, increasing the number of people you have to sort through and how many different colors of clothing you’ll have to sort through (max of 5). For my dad, he’s kind of color blind, so it’s not easy when he gets too many different shades of colors.

This is one of those learning games for kids that will teach you how to think logically about what you’re doing.  If you don’t come up with a logical system of elimination, it’s going to take you a long time to master the game and you’ll quickly get bored with guessing which is the real character. With the younger kids, it can really help learning and identifying colors.  It’s simple enough for a 3-5 year old, but challenging enough that my dad is hard to pull off of it.

One thing you’ll notice is that you open up a new Spongebob mini game evertime you play.  Just ignore this, it’s simply Nick.coms way of promoting their latest game.  Everyone opens this mini game everytime they play, regardless of how well they do.

One of the things FactMonster focuses on a lot is kids math games. If you click on Games & Quizzes on the left side of the page, you’ll find Math Games listed.  Once you go to this page, you’ll see there are various games that cover almost all areas of math.  From simple things such as counting, addition and subtraction through to the more difficult items like multiplication, division and even geometry.  Most of the geometry games use something called “Baseball Geometry.”  We’ll explain how that works in a minute.

Baseball Geometry starts off teaching you about the basics of geometry such as the types of angles and how to measure them.  From there it teaches you about types of triangles, calculating the area of a triangle and into Pythagorean theorem (a²+b²=c²).  It also covers circles and finding the area and circumferance as well as polygons and rectangles.

All of this is done while playing a very fun game of baseball.  Don’t worry if you don’t know the rules to baseball, this is a very basic version of the game that is more similar to a home run derby than a full blown game.  Once you answer a question correctly you get a chance to swing and hit the ball.  If you answer the question on the first try, you’ll get 3 pitches.  Answer on the 2nd and you get 2 and if you do it on your third you get just one pitch. You have to click at the exact right time to hit the ball over the fence.  I spent a lot of time learning how to do this and hit more than my fair share of foul balls.  The computer keeps track of your batting average and it will even let you forward that score to your parents.

Give Baseball Geometry a try and you’ll find yourself a little hooked on it.  The math challenges are one thing, but learning how to click that mouse at the exact time will really keeping you coming back for more.  Even my dad spent some time refreshing his memory on some math facts so that he could get another chance at hitting that ball over the fence. Good luck and … PLAY BALL!

It’s one of the computer games for kids put out by Disney.  It’s all done online through their website www.clubpenguin.com

There’s a little town your penguin lives in and can move around.

There are different games your penguin can play.  The best one for making coins is the mining game.  You can also play Mancala, Connect Four, Pizza Tron 3000, or even go surfing.  There are a lot of fun games to play in Club Penguin.

When you have enough coins you can buy a Puffle. A Puffle is a tiny little fury thing.  I’m not sure what it is, but it’s something you take care of on the game.  When your Puffle gets hungry or tired it will tell you.

If you make more money you can buy a second Puffle.  The free mode only lets you own two Puffles.  If you want more than that,  you’ll need to become a paid member.

If you want to be a member, it’s only $5.95 for 1 month, $29.95 for 6 months or you can go for a 12 month membership for $57.95 (not a bad Christmas or Birthday present).

Overall, I like this game a lot, but you can’t do enough on the free version.  Hopefully I’ll be able to subscribe pretty soon.

If you’ve played the paid version and can help review it, please leave a comment for me below.  It’s still worth it for the free version.
