Kids can learn to care for a real animal by first taking care of an electronic pet online.
There are many pet and animal games that children can play for free online. The games range in content from pet makeovers and dress-up games, to animal side-scrollers and games that involve learning care for a pet. With any online game, it is important for parents to review the content to make sure it is suitable for their children.
Harry the Hamster
Harry the Hamster is a game similar to the classic Pipe Dream, in which players must string together random pipe shapes to form a tube from one side to the other. In Harry the Hamster, Harry is being tormented by a cat that is dead-set on playing with him, though Harry wants no part of it. Players must construct a series of pipes from one side of the screen to the other to aid Harry in his travels to escape the playful cat. As the game progresses, players receive less-than-desirable pieces and they must decide how best to arrange the piping to deliver Harry to safety before the timer runs out. This game is suitable for all ages and is fun for children and adults alike, though younger children might not manage to get the hang of this strategic puzzle game.
Adopt Me
Adopt Me is a website where children can sign up to adopt pets online and care for them over the internet. There are many pets to choose from and when a child signs up for a free account, her pet will be online waiting for her every time she logs on. The private account prevents unauthorized access to the child's pet. In addition, registered pets get their own blog and profile page. Pets can get a job, join a pet group, chat with other pets, send e-greeting cards to other pets, enter the Pet of the Month contest and dress up in fancy clothes. Users can even chat with their pets.
Dr. Daisy Pet Vet
Dr. Daisy Pet Vet is a game that focuses on running a veterinary office efficiently and effectively. The game mostly focuses on time management and organization, as players must direct Dr. Daisy and animals through the veterinary office in an adequate time period. Players must check in animals, move them to exam rooms, inspect them, treat them and check them out. Dr. Daisy treats dogs, cats, and turtles; since turtles don’t mind waiting, Dr. Daisy must decide which animals should be checked in ahead of them and treated based on their immediate needs. Players earn points based on the efficient running of the office and how happy the animals are.
