7 App Games That Will Keep Travelling Kids Occupied
1. “Bookworm” is a great educational, yet fun, game in which your goal is to score points by linking letters with your fingers to form words. Words are made up of adjacent letters that can be linked vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, similar to Boggle. After you form your word, hit “submit” to score it. A library worm named Lex then chomps up your word and you’re ready to start again. This is a very addictive game!

2. “Build a Robot” is perfect for creative kids and teens and is similar to playing Mr. Potato Head. You can select arms, legs, body, head and facial features to create a unique robot and when you’re finished with your robot you can choose to color it or leave it in black and white.
3. “Pegs” is another addictive game that is based on the popular wooden peg game you may have played in a restaurant. Jump over one peg at a time and remove the peg you just jumped over. The goal is to leave only one peg standing at the end, but this is not easily achieved. It’s addictive, fun, challenging, and sure to keep those kiddos (and adults) occupied for long periods of time.
4. “Scoops” is a simple but very fun game for children. The object is to catch ice cream scoops while avoiding being hit by tomatoes and onions. It is perfect for all ages and only requires you to tilt your phone to control the movement.
5. “Aquarium” is great for kids who love to care for pets. Kids can create a virtual fish tank and care for the fish by feeding them and cleaning the tank.
6. The “Starfall” application takes the ever-popular beginning reading website and makes it readily available on your phone. This is a wonderfully educational game where kids can interact with letters, sounds, words, and sentences.
7. “Tetris” is another excellent educational game, this time focusing on math. This is a great phone app for those children who love video games and solving puzzles. Tetris is a challenging puzzle game where kids try to fit pieces together to remove rows of the same colour.
