Welcome to our KidDesktop blog!
KidDesktop is a kid friendly Windows desktop alternative providing a safe PC learning experience without allowing access to inappropriate files, programs, or Internet content. This blog provides information parents and teachers can use to help children get the most out of their computer experience, including updated information about KidDesktop and reviews of kids’ websites and kid friendly YouTube videos.
I just checked out the game site Orisinal. The site boasts more than 60 games, featuring cute animal characters and outdoor backgrounds done in pastel colors. The soothing Japanese music completes the sensory experience: no violent or explicit games here! While preschoolers and younger kids will probably find the games too difficult, older kids and adults will enjoy playing them.
A little history: creator Ferry Halim started the site in 2000. He makes games for a living and considers Orisinal his “personal playground.”
Orisinal games don’t really have any educational merit. Unlike many of the games for preschoolers, they won’t reinforce reading or math skills. But they are cute, and older kids (and their parents) will enjoy wasting some time on them here and there. Just be careful: the games can be addictive! Good time to use the timer function on KidDesktop, or to impose your own timer system if you are the one visiting Orisinal.
