Shark Biting Games

Shark Toothache Game

• If you are brave enough to help a shark find the source of his toothache, try your hand at "Shark Attack." Place your hand inside the mouth of the shark game toy and push down on each of the shark's teeth. When you press on the sore tooth the shark's jaws will close around your finger. If you would rather receive a shark bite via touch-screen technology than from a plastic toy, visit the iTunes App Store to download a virtual version of the toothache game. "Shark Bite" has the same premise as "Shark Attack," but this game app requires two players and is compatible with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Mad Shark

• Fans of campy movies about genetically engineered super sharks should play "Mad Shark" from Shockwave. Use your mouse to control a shark that has fled a lab to escape the torture of evil experiments. Swim away as fast as you can, but monitor your strength levels as heightened speeds drain your energy. Gain strength by using the space bar to bite and eat everything in your path, including scuba divers who will try to stab you and stop your getaway. Due to the violence and gore in "Mad Shark," parents should exercise discretion when allowing children to play this shark biting game.

Shark Attack Balloon Game

• Amazing Moms' shark biting game would be a great addition to a child's birthday party. Played in a style similar to musical chairs, children stand in a circle and hit a balloon back and forth while music plays. However, the balloon is far from an ordinary toy since angry eyes and a mouth of sharp teeth have been drawn onto the balloon, transforming it into a shark. When the music stops the last child to have touched the shark balloon is "bitten" and out of the game. The last child standing wins.

Shark Pool Tag

• Cool off from the summer sun and pretend to be a shark with this swimming pool shark biting game. The player acting as the shark lurks in the middle of the pool while the other players cling to one side of the pool, pretending to be small, ocean fish. When the shark yells, "Go!" the other players must try to swim to the other side of the pool without being tagged or "bitten" by the shark. If the shark tags one of the other players, then that player is transformed into a shark. The final non-shark player wins and begins a new game as the shark waiting to bite his victims.
