Kids Snooker Games

Snooker is a game of skill that is played on a pool table specially marked for snooker. The game uses 15 solid red balls, called “reds,” and six balls in other colors, called “colors.” For kids who would like to challenge their snooker skills but don’t have a pool table handy, virtual snooker is both entertaining and challenging.

Tournament Snooker
- Join a snooker tournament and play against other players from all over the world in an online snooker challenge. Websites such as http://www.flyordie.com/snooker/ offer games. The game is played by clicking the “aim” button on the screen. Hold the left mouse button down and aim your cue by moving the mouse. When your shot is lined up, release the left mouse button and click the right one. Hold it down and move the mouse back to get ready to shoot. Slide the mouse forward to take your shot. How fast you move the mouse will control how hard you hit the cue ball. This game requires a fair amount of skill and is best for kids ages 12 and older. A player who wins a tournament can see his name on the winners list.
Snooker
- Sink the red balls and the colored balls in the right order to get the highest possible score. Use your mouse to aim your cue, then click to shoot. The cue’s distance from the cue ball when you shoot controls how hard the cue strikes the ball. If the angle is right you’ll sink the shot. Get it wrong and you may sink the cue ball instead. Choose from five different levels of play, each requiring increasing skill. The scoreboard tracks your high score, average score, and how many games you’ve played. The website http://www.bgames.com/funny-games/Snooker.html also offers online games.
Wii Snooker
- The characters in this realistic snooker game are based on the actual people who competed in the 2008 World Championship of Snooker. As you compete with them, you are able to move around the table, lean down and check your line-up before you shoot, and interact with the computer players. Use the Wii snooker cue for the most realistic action. See if you can beat the champs when you compete against them as they recreate actual shots and strategies from the championship games. This game may be a bit difficult to find in stores, but you can find it in used video game stores and online outlets around the world. It is rated for play by kids 3 and up, but older children will probably have the best luck with this virtual competition.
