Choose age-suitable games
Browser games differ in theme and difficulty. Pet-care, dress-up and puzzle games are generally gentle, while shooting and survival games include combat themes. Look at the game page and try a game yourself before letting a young child play.
Agree on screen time
Short sessions of ten to twenty minutes suit most games on this site. Agree on a time limit before starting and use a timer so the end of the session is not a surprise.
Be careful with personal information
Some games have leaderboards or online multiplayer. Children should not share their real name, school, address or phone number in any game.
Understand ads and links
Free games may show advertising from third parties. Teach children not to click on unexpected pop-ups or to download anything a game asks for. If a game asks for downloads or payment, close it and tell an adult.
Use browser and device controls
Parental control features on phones, tablets and browsers can limit time and block unsuitable content. Using them alongside regular conversations about what children are playing works better than either on its own.
Play together
Playing with your child is the easiest way to see what a game is like. Family-friendly titles such as animal sports games work well as a shared activity.

Talk about in-game purchases
Most games on this site are free to play, but some browser games elsewhere push in-app purchases. Explain to children that they should never enter payment details without an adult.
Encourage breaks
Short breaks every half hour help with posture and eye comfort. Pairing games with offline activities keeps screen time balanced.
