[F935]Fun And Easy Games

by Vincent Dupuy, Vin

Those who regularly read my articles know that I normally am all about business, all about opportunities. I decided this week to talk about something totally different, yet very satisfying in certain moments: Internet Games! Yes, I'm talking about those time-consuming, highly addictive activities many of us spend time on! Well personally, I don't find them all that bad, and if you can control yourself, they are a fun (and free) way to get the tension out.

For the purpose of this article, I decided to sample and review a bunch of these games, and I then chose a few I will outline here, which had the biggest effect on my satisfaction level. Here they are:

1) Mario 2. Several years ago, like millions of others, I bought a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and discovered Mario and Luigi, those fabulous little characters still generating massive revenues for Nintendo 20 years later. Super Mario Bros. and all its derivatives is one of the most successful game franchise ever created. Well today you can enjoy a free, Internet version of Mario 2, one of the series! Even if you never played the original, you will get a kick out of this one!

2) Miniclip Rally. Who hasn't enjoyed racing games at some point in their life? Well Miniclip Rally will allow you to easily take control of different cars, on different tracks, and try to beat you opponents, and your high scores! Each track takes only a few minutes to complete so you can do a bunch to try and beat your record.

3) Gold Miner. Another one of my favorites. In each level you need to make more and more money (here I go again!) by grabbing the largest possible gold nuggets before the timer runs out. Between each level you can use your money to buy some bonus items that help you along the way. Really addictive, try it!

4) Fowl Words and Fowl Words 2. These games are somewhat similar to Scrabble, with a timer... and a twist! You need to form as many words as possible with the letters offered. The longer the word the more points you score. There are also eggs (!) to show you how many words of each length is available. Sounds easy, but finding all the words is another story!

Hopefully, once you've spent a few moments playing these games, you will have freed up your mind, and be ready to jump into another highly productive and profitable day!

Getting children to learn has long been a dilemma faced by today's teachers and parents. How do you make something like the industrial revolution interesting to an eight year old? It's hard, but have always been intrepid folks out there who try their hardest to make the act of learning fun and entertaining for children. Educational board games are one of the most effective ways of doing so, and there have been a lot of really good additions to the market over the years - board games, memory games, and puzzle games that challenge a child's brain and give them a fun reason to learn.

These board games come in all shapes and sizes. For those looking to get a game for their child that will trigger some intellectual stimulation, it's only a matter of choosing a topic or field to work with. School age board games are not only tailored for the skill level of your child, but the interests they might have.

For as young as children aged 1 and up, there are games that challenge them to recognize and remember different shapes, colors, and objects. By enhancing their cognitive ability through a fun memory game, you are giving them a head start on learning when they get older.

For the older children out there, the options immediately diversify. There are exciting puzzle games like Dinosaurs and Things that won't even seem like learning to a child intrigued by the giant lizards of eons past. History has a habit of being dry and boring when taught from a text book, but a board game in which the information might sneak up on a child and be exciting is the perfect way to make them want to learn.

For the math crowd, there are many options. Fraction, multiplication, and division playing card decks are available as well as various memory games. The educational board games on the market are so varied that no matter how your child learns, whether it is visually, audibly, or hands on, there's a game out there to help them.

Sitting down and playing a board game with your children is one of those activities that families have been doing for years, often on a set night, in a big group. It's a great way to spend some time with your loved ones after a long, stressful week and unwind. At the same time, you can help your children develop stronger logic and problem solving skills and have fun while doing it.

There are school age board games for children of all ages, in topics ranging from history and math to geography and literature. Whether they know it or not, an educational board game is the best way for you to sneak up on your child with a good dose of mind expanding fun.
