ACEKids Java Games - Is your browser Java-enabled? If you're not sure, this page explains how you can tell. Make sure you don't enable Java without asking your parents first, since there are lots of reasons they may have chosen to disable it. But if you've got it, you can play MasterMind, Connect Four, Stars, Hunt the Wumpus, and Hit Me!
AFRO-Americ@: All Fun & Games - A lot of the games listed here are just too hard for Net-mom, who gets frustrated easily! But for the rubber duckie crowd, we recommend these dress-up games: Scout at the Beach and Scout in Space. Dress up a friendly dog in scuba or astronaut gear and create a detailed online picture of your own. We also liked Dino Design Board, where you click and drag various pieces of dinosaur around until you find a combination you like. The Make a Snow Thing activity is a little odd. Who ever heard of a snowlady wearing a pink bikini?
Air Force Link Jr. - Play games relating to planes (don't miss Math Mission) as well as have fun with the coloring book pages and word searches. In the Media section you'll learn about the history of the Air Force and check out how they helped move Keiko, the Free Willy whale. Listen to music from Armed Forces Radio.

Get the basics on rocks and bowls, rules and moves, and try the game some say is "the one computers can't beat us at."
Animabets.com - The Animabets teach topics and host activities that make learning fun. Try exercising with Boris Bear, learning about languages from Alley Alligator or exploring the planets with Jeckyl Jaguar.

(Warning: This did mess with Net-mom's Netscape browser settings, so you may have to re(for example) the location area of your toolbar.)
Chateau Meddybumps - Read a "story starter" to your child and ask him or her to finish the story; write it all down. Make a whole library of your child's own stories!

Individuals, families, and schools can sign up to share the adventure. And there are two age groups, kids under 15, and 15 or older. Players visit sponsors' Web pages and outposts to locate treasure codes. For example, one outpost may be the White House's Web site and the clue on the sponsor's page might be: "What are the five different kinds of American crafts in the White House collection?" The cyber-hunter would then visit the White House Web page and look for a reference to White House collection of American crafts. Once the text describing the collection is clicked, a congratulations page complete with a specific treasure code is revealed.
Department of the Treasury Kid's Page - The U.S. Customs Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are just a few of the many organizations working under the Department of the Treasury.

Don't miss the Dog of the Month--those customs service drug-sniffing dogs have their own trading cards on the Net.

Electric Games - If you liked Ambrosia, you will love Electric Games. This site has practically every shareware game ever made. But here's the best part: it has both Mac and PC games. It takes a minute to load, but it's worth it. I mean it has everything---from games you never knew existed to games you've been seeking for years, they're all here. and since they're shareware, you don't have to pay big bucks for high-quality games. But it is a good idea to pay the authors what they ask for the game after you've played it for a while; it helps them make upgrades and new games for your enjoyment.
Energy Quest Games - OK, these are educational games, but they really will spark your curiosity about electricity and solar, wind, and nuclear power. Don't miss playing the hilarious game called Watt's That? If you run out of energy, take a nap and come back later for more fun.
