Games Index

We love playing games - it's a great way to learn! Have you created a game that you'd like to share with friends? It can be a board game, a card game, a game with dice, or a game you play outside with your friends - chasey, hide'n'seek, ball game, etc. Or perhaps it's a word game? We'd love to hear from you! See the submission guidelines on the Games Index page to find out how to have your story published in Unschool~Kidz!

Virtual Villagers Game Review
by Dani Beth, age 7

This is a computer game called Virtual Villagers.  There's these people who find the island of Isola.  You are in charge of Isola.  You make all the decisions about the village.  You have to solve puzzles and earn tech points to buy the things you need for your villagers.  You can play the free trial on Yahoo games to see if you like it enough to buy.  You can do lots of cool things!  Have fun playing this game!
