Free Online Games for Kids
- Preschoolers

Family
While we're not big fans of promoting hours of screen time for kids, using online resources such as free online games for kids is a little bit different.
Yes, your kids are in front of a screen, but they're not watching hours of mindless nonsense. On the contrary, playing games online is a great way to stay socially connected to other players or family members when you can't physically be in the same room.
Plus (and this is our favourite bit!), game-based learning is actually a highly effective tool for growing minds. With that in mind, here are our recommended online games for kids that are 100 per cent free!
