Posted on August 21, 2015 by Lubica Misevski

Today we are reviewing some of our best, most awarded, and games for kids in 2015. I mean after all who does not love a kids games. We can all remember those days with mum and dad, where we sat there for hours playing over summer on those rainy days. And often when we started playing one game it leads to another.

Games for Kids have come a long way since I was a kid. Not only are they are a lot more fun, but we have also managed to sneak in a lot of learning into the new games, especially over the last 5 to 10 years. If you have followed along with us, you will know that we believe learning should be fun. And it is proven when we are enjoying ourselves we learn faster, and deeper.

So in today’s article we are going to cover the 13 of the leading games for kids in the market today. We feel we will have a game or two for you in our collection of over 100 games for kids.

The first one to roll off the list is Roll and Play by Thinkfun. Designed to be one of your little one’s very first game. It is a big plush cube that you roll or toss across the floor and whatever coloured side faces up, you choose the matching colour card. If you get a Cow card you Moo, and if you get a Happy Face, you make a happy face :). This game has almost won ever award possible with over 17 or more to the collection so far. This is game for kids that even big kids will enjoy.

Suitable from 18 Months +

Ever played Hangman? It might not surprise you but as far as games for kids go, Flip to Win Hangman is very popular amongst parents and children alike. But unlike when we were growing up, you do not need a pen and paper to play. Made by Melissa and Doug it includes a fame board with erasable whiteboard, self-sorting dries erase marker and eraser. There are not loose pieces so it is great for that summer day holiday. I mean after all it is hangman!

So but what if you want a game that it is a little more complex? But just as much fun. Well, let us introduce you to Gravity Maze winner of the Toy of The Year Award (TOTY) 2015 and countless other awards. Gravity Maze is a powered logic game designed to test logic, visual perception and reasoning.

This is such a fun game for kids; the towers can be arranged in so many ways but you need to arrange them in a way that gets your marble to the target tower. So you have to build carefully a path that works.

If your little one like Turtles or wants to learn about computer programming than Robot Turtles is just the trick. The first game for kids in the world designed to help your child learn about computer programming. This game is one to play with Mum or Dad. As your little on creates code for the computer, (you) make beep sounds, pops and zaps, or goofy beeps. This one is a delight for you and them.

Worried how long it might take to learn to play this one. Fear not, it takes seconds to learn, and minutes to play and your child starts to learning coding literacy. Soon enough your little one will be writing computer games of their own and creating the next Zynga or Angry Birds..

Suitable from 4+, and 2014 Astra Best Game Play Award.

As far as Games for kids go, this is one of the best-selling games in the world. It is Rush Hour and was recently voted one of Parents Choice Best 25 Toys of 25 Years. It is a complex problem-solving game, that uses traffic or gridlock as the challenge! It might have been handy for me before I started driving :). We have versions for all ages, and this game will not disappoint. We do not have time to list all the awards, but you can see them under the directly under this link.
