Balloony Word

This version of Hangman features Gordon the Gorilla and Kendra the Kangaroo as they hang helplessly from balloons with letters printed on them, and their lives are in the hands of the players who must guess words based off letters they choose.

There are different categories of words to choose from, such as fruits or vegetables. Every wrong guess pops a balloon and brings either Gordon or Kendra closer to the ground, but gently.

This is a game for children, so there won’t be any animals plummeting to earth, but there’s still a feeling of drama.

This game is simple and is a good one to play with your kids, or by yourself when they’re sleeping, you deserve it. The only downside is an older kid could get tired of the repetitive nature of the game, Digitaltrends cites.

Dinosaur Park Math

Instead of letting your kids watch Jurassic Park, leaving them terrified to be alone in an SUV for the rest of their lives, have them play Dinosaur Park Math. This app has the perfect combination of addition, subtraction, and dino facts.

The game takes you through a dinosaur park and presents math and trivia challenges to unlock different parts of the park. The kid’s job is to unlock pieces of each dinosaur by solving math problems. Once the fossils are uncovered, the guide will give facts about that specific dino and the world it lived in.

The math problems are a little advanced, getting into basic double digit stuff, so play around with it first to see if you think your kid could answer the questions without getting frustrated,while still learning.
