Q: Who are you guys?
Well, this is a typical wife&husband pet project; basically one of our hobbies. Neither of us are web technicians and therefore we make the most out of basic web templates and simple navigation.
We are located in Iceland (Europe) and have three young kids that gave us the initial inspiration to gather games in this way in year 2009 and the site has grown to what it is now, mostly thanks to great contributions from our users around the world.
Both of us work a full day job that are neither game- or web related at all, though we must mention that the head of the family (i.e. the wife:) works a lot with senior citizens, hence the site Online Games For Seniors.
In short, we simply wanted allow others to enjoy the collections with us. We also have other web related ideas and run them all under a mother site; Play a Bit.
Q: Why the creativity theme?
Creativity is both an important subject to master and an important key to success in today's rapidly changing world. Although both creativity and even intuitively are simple phenomenons, they are in fact quite complex. Somewhere along the line, many adults have forgotten how to use their imagination to think and solve problems out of the box.
Creative Games For Kids focuses on blending together education and fun in a bundle of nice and harmonious gameplay. Let's take the math category as an example; different maths can be a challenge for many kids to understand. Math games can help take the frustration out of learning math and make it more fun than frustrating for young learners.
Creativity is essential in expanding the horizons of children beyond the everyday, and children that are exposed to creative thinking are known to do better and go further in life than they would have without it. Like, introducing the arts in the form of games is a great way to start them out with a love for art and music.
Q: How do you define creativiness?
We have carefully selected games on other web sites and created links to them. Our collection is wide ranging, educational, targeted at kids and even sometimes teenagers too.
Creative Games For Kids includes many educational games, such as science games where you can really put your mind to the test with matching, math, strategy, out-of-the-box-thinking aiming at flexibility, memory, grammar and many other kinds of problem solving games.
Art games are surely creative; such as painting, dancing and playing musical instruments. Painting is a way for children to express themselves artistically and tap into their creative sides. On a rainy day or a long car ride, printable coloring pages save the day.
Also, we have links to design games covering building, make over, make up and more. Just about everyone loves to dress up, at least once in a while. For children, playing fun dress up games provides ways to check out their perceptions of the world and try out different roles within it. Fun dress up games for children encourage and enhance emotional and imaginative growth.
Simulation games require variety of skills, whereas they are reenactment of various activities or "real life" for various purposes; training, analysis, or prediction. Most often the player needs to be creative to complete the tasks, as in life it self.
Q: How frequently is the site updated?
This site is constantly being updated with high-quality interactive online programs. It means that the site is updated several times a week, unless we are on holiday :)
We are very selective in choosing games and always try them ourselves before publishing them, plus they must fulfill the criteria listed here on the right.
Latest updates are presented on the front page. Use the main menu at the top of the screen to navigate through different sections.
Q: Will you offer more suffisticated translations?
Nobs, but we are aware that the language bar at the top is a bit primitive and insufficient solution. Please consider it as a token of good will or intention, rather than anything else. We find it better than nothing. Google translator rules; it just gets better and better each day :o)
