With the pandemic having brought us into a new age of seclusion and social distancing, online games have become the norm for socializing. Kids have become more dependent than ever on the internet. It’s been important for me to ensure that my son is safely playing games and learning at the same time. In comes Plays.org a site offering free and fun online games. It was created with the lock downs in mind to add joy and nostalgia to the realm of the internet.

The creator of the site used to love playing games on consoles back in the day. Avid gamers are sure to know the likes of Nintendo and this site paid homage to that era. This was actually my era as well and I played massive amounts of Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt and Top Gun with a side of Kid Icarus and Donkey Kong. It made this website even more appealing to me and I knew my youngest son would enjoy the nostalgia of it all.

As compared to current gaming alternatives, Plays.org offers over 300 casual games that can be simple and quick to play. There’s no need to download anything and no need to register an account. Game categories include Player Favorites, Awe Shoot, Cartoon Games, Sports Games, Retro Pixels, Pin Ball, Simulation Games and more.

The newest games are always being updated and added on to ensuring that kids will not tire of visiting this site. If you child likes characters they’ll love games inspired by Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tom and Jerry and more.

Benefits of playing online games

Parents have a tendency to have their kids try and avoid online games but that’s hardly possible now what with schooling being online as well. The best way to deter any untowardly behavior is to guide them as to what is safe for them to play. Parents will usually also find that online games have many genuine benefits.

Hand-Eye Coordination

Playing online games can help improve hand-eye coordination as it helps to improve cognitive development such as sensorimotor skills and memory.

Puzzle Solving

Games in itself are already excellent platforms for learning and even though online games may seem to be just for fun there are opportunities for decision making and problem saving. Games such as Arcade Classics have perfect examples of games that enhance these. With so many games available online, there are some that don’t have any educational value and sometimes we just want games just to play them but educational games are always the best choice.

Enhance Memory 

Video games are also an excellent way to improve memory with the multitude of visuals, language and context that need to be remembered and worked with.

 

I also personally played some of the games to get a feel for it. I enjoyed Tetra Blocks and it was definitely easy and fun.

As a busy mom of three, it’s assuring to let my youngest son be on this site knowing that he’s having fun yet learning with all the games available on Plays.org.
