Video Games
Dog games are very popular on video games for kids of all ages. One of the most popular in recent years is the Petz Dogz game. This is a game that allows for the player to take care of a dog of their choice. It not only is a game that improves a child's hand eye coordination, but also shows them through a video game what it takes to properly care for and train a dog. While the dog is virtual, there are some great lessons that can be learned through the game. Littlest Pet Shop also has quite a few games, which will allow for children to care for or even assume the character of a dog.
Play Online
The Internet has some child-safe games that will provide hours of entertainment for the child who loves dog games. One of the most famous dogs, according to most children, is Clifford, also known as the Big Red Dog. There is a web site dedicated to Clifford and has many fun dog games for children of all ages to enjoy. Because Clifford is geared toward the younger children, these games are relatively easy to play for children who are new to computers.
Play with Your Dog
There is not a better dog game to play than to actually play with your dog or even a neighbor's dog. Dogs and children go well together, so get a ball and throw it. A game of fetch is always as entertaining for the child as it is for the dog. Dogs and children often enjoy playing tug-o-war. Just make sure the toy -- such as a rope bone -- is safe for the dog and the child.
For kids who don't have dogs of their own, dressing up like a dog is always fun. A little bit of face paint and a sweatsuit will transform any young child into a dog for a couple hours. Parents may find this silly, but a pat on the head while dressed up like a dog will make any young child light up from the inside out.
