Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    This site is the portal to a wide variety of educational games that challenge everyone from preschoolers to high schoolers, so there's a good deal of educational value in a broad range of categories.

  • Messages:

    Users won't find anything objectionable on the site, but because it is simply a directory that links to hundreds of other sites, there is the slim potential for not-so-educational items to slip in somewhere.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    The site does have several Google-sponsored ads, but they're small, subtle, and are typically promoting other educational Web sites or offers. The links to games, however, run the gamut. Some sites have little to no promotional messaging, while others have abundant ads, offers, or contests and are tied to entities that plug their own products.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About RamoGames

Parents need to know that this site is essentially a comprehensive directory of hundreds of children's educational games. It can be daunting to search out educational games across the vast worldwide Web, so this site does the legwork for parents and kids and acts as a giant, organized glossary that categorizes and rates games that have educational value.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why online (and even iPhone) games are more than just entertainment. How can playing games help reinforce the lessons kids are learning in school? Why is it more enjoyable to learn about geography or fractions through a game rather than through a textbook or classroom?

    What happened to the site?

    Apparently this site is not working. www.ramogames.com/ is redirected to "godaddy.com" and says the domain name is for sale.

    Great one stop educational game shop

    I started getting to know the founder of Ramo Games a few months back, right around the time when they were really expanding their content. They're a great group of people really trying to make a difference in the lives of kids. I highly recommend their site, not only as a place to find just about any educational game you could ever ask for, but also as a safe place to send your kids. They have a really nice blog too. Perfect for teachers, parents, and children alike.

    Great site

    I have been using this site the past 2 months since a friend who is part of my PTA suggested it. I love it because it is a comprehensive directory. I make my 7-year old only play games in different categories (history, math, logic) depending on where she needs the most help.
