Online gaming for kids, and tweens have long been thought of as a "danger zone" with many loop holes and vulnerabilities where your child’s information could become fresh for the taking, but a lot has changed in the virtual world of kids games and it’s time you take notice to the great opportunities that exist online today.
With the addition of the United States Federal Trade Commission’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act "COPPA", and the Privo Privacy Assurance Program, children’s online gaming has taken major leaps and bounds towards children safety online. Kids online games are safer than every before and offer unique tools to help educate, interact, and grown in both the virtual and real life worlds we live in.
Two popular games today offer great education experiences as well as being rated amongst the safest online games for kids today. Those games are Dizzywood and Elf Island. Both are relatively new to the online gaming world, but as of recently, are experiencing an increasing number of users and popularity.
Dizzywood is an online adventure where you can play free games, meet new friends, enjoy unique missions, and discover new and exciting locations within Dizzywood. You have the ability to gather coins, which you can use to purchase new clothing, upgrade features or simple collect and share. Dizzywood is for children ages 8-12 and allows your child to express their creativity by creating their own adventures, cooperating with other players, and having fun while they learn.
Elf Island is fast becoming a leader in the "Gaming For Good" category where children can weave real world, nonprofit projects into their virtual Elf Island World. They do so, by entertaining game play, social interaction and story telling which empowers children to bring the Gaming For Good, to the real world. For example, planting trees in Elf Island, causes real living trees to be planted on earth. Building a home in Elf Island, causes real homes to be built in the real world. Kids become inspired by the results and want to continue doing Good Quest. These Good Quests are updated every few weeks and introduce new and exciting challenges that will continue to help our real life environment.
For more information on Dizzywood, and to learn secrets, codes, and detailed walkthroughs of the virtual world, visit Dizzywood Land.
