Play games from download websites - or how about a desktop game or gadget?
If you want to download kids' games, now is the time!

Kids' downloads seemed to hit a wall a few years ago when the quality free online games sites started to thrive - but now downloading is taking off once again, with the advent of casual gaming sites and websites offering fun applications of all kinds for your computer.

You may have no objections to your child playing games online... but maybe sometimes it would be nice for them to get off the internet, yet still play games on the computer.

Download kids' games from casual gaming sites

Casual games are fun games that you play simply to relax... theoretically! You'll be familiar with

puzzle games and jigsaws
strategy games
action and arcade games

hidden object games
matching
word games

- and the choice and fun on offer is fantastic.

The set-up of these sites is fairly similar
There are online games you can play right now, other games you can play online and then download and play for free with a time limit. If you want to keep the full version of the game on your computer, you are asked to purchase the game. Other games may be download only, for PC or Mac, with a free trial option also.

There is often a community element to these sites
You may be able to see how many other players are playing your game at the moment, and you can sometimes comment on the games. You might be able to register for a free account and get access to extra info, features or bonuses.

Download Games from Big Fish
There's a PC games section as well as games for Mac - and the kids' download section, too.

Again, lots of familiar faces here, plus animal games, board games and a whole stack more!

You can also find ratings and reviews of the games which is very useful.
