Interactive Games for Kids About Animals

Interactive games for kids about animals can launch learning to a new level. Games teach while they entertain, motivating children to understand an animal from a new perspective. Animal games teach skills by allowing children to create a dinosaur species, protect a virtual animal from bugs, collect butterflies or simply practice strategy skills and hand-eye coordination, all of which are vital parts of the learning process.

Dinosaurs
- Make and change your dinosaur species at Kids Dinos Online.
  
  Dinosaurs were the dominant land animals for 160 million years, according to BBC Online. According to the site, they were given their name by an English paleontologist in 1841. You can also name your own dinosaur species for free, at Kids Dinos Online (kidsdinos.com). The game Make a Dinosaur allows players to create a dinosaur from the feet up. And don't forget to give it a name.

Rainforest Animals
- Rainforest birds can be viewed by playing Rain Forest Breakout.
  
  Laser Eyes is a free interactive game found at Christian Answers Online (christiananswers.net). The object of the game is to protect the gorilla from bugs that are trying to crawl into his eyes. His eyes have laser powers, so shoot the bugs away from him by using his weapon. If too many bugs get into his eyes, they will turn red. Gorillas are on the endangered species list and definitely could use your protection. World Wildlife Online states that the total world population of mountain gorillas is only about 786. Christian Answers Online also offers Rain Forest Breakout. This game uses a paddle and a ball to break blocks out of rainforest animal pictures, including leopards and monkeys. Don't become so distracted by the beauty of the picture that you take your eye off of the ball.
Insects and Bugs
- Beware of bee stings in the interactive Killer Bees game.
  
  Killer Bees is an interactive game found at Christian Answers Online (christiananswers.net). The goal of the game is to collect as many butterflies as you can without disturbing honey bees.
