How to Find Children's Games

If you are on a quest for a children's game for your child or another youngster in your life, you might find that appearances can be deceiving. A box with colorful graphics and cartoon-like lettering can actually be hiding a game designed for mature audiences. There are a few tips you can use to help you find games specifically designed for children.

Instructions

- 1
  Look for the "E" rating on the packaging of your console game or computer game. Games released for home video game consoles like the PlayStation 3 or for the Windows and Mac operating systems are rated for content by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, or ESRB. Games with the "E" rating are designed to be played by people of all ages, including children.
- 2
  Read reviews of games online. Many sites like IGN or Game Rankings review all new games that are released, including games for children. By reading the reviews of a particular title you will be able to get a good overview of its content, including anything that may be objectionable or unsuitable for children. Reading reviews will also help you find games that have been highly-rated or well-reviewed by people who have played them.
- 3
  View only children's games when browsing at an online retailer. On many retailer's websites, you can choose to only view games that are suitable for children. This will help you avoid accidentally buying something questionable, as only games designed for kids will be returned in the search results.
