Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 5–8

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    The printable activity sheets are worthwhile.
  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Knights shoot arrows into each other's heads. Gopher whacking.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Alert level orange. Loads of flashing "You're a winner!" banners, ads, more.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    The Kerry-Bush Bash game contains drug references.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Kidz Page

Parents need to know that although the games are free, the games pages have four banner ads plus several Google Ads. There is also a download section called "Freeware," but some of it is really shareware offered for sale.There's also a link to political and first-person shooter games buried in the free online game selections.
