Best Computer (PC) games for kids?

[TwingleMum]

Santa is bringing a new desktop and I'd like to have some really good computer games for the kids . I have 4 boys (10,7,7,4) They are all Disney nuts (love WDW) , they love Harry Potter and Hockey. They are big readers (read all HP books, Percy jackson, 39 clues etc) Do you have any suggestions for games. I have HP Quidditch and Sorcerers Stone for the computer. TIA

My kids have really enjoyed the Roller Coaster and Amusement Park sim games (now I can't remember the official name of them) -- you create your own. There's also a Zoo one.

For your 4 yr old, when my kids were little, they really loved the Pajama Sam games. Feeling nostalgic (they're now 15 and 18), I looked to see if you can still buy these games -- you can! Google Pajama Sam and you'll find it. He's a little guy who loves to solve puzzles -- they have a story, lots of games within the game, lots of fun stuff.

Thanks !! I've looked at some Sims games but didn't know much about them. I'll check out pajama Sam also.

When my kids were little they liked the Pajama Sam and similar games as well. They usually spent the most time on the Nick Jr site though. There are a lot of sites now and they are free. I wouldn't spend too much money on games because of all the available free ones. Disney, Nickelodeon, most of the cereal companies, etc. ALL have a huge website full of fun, free games.

Thats true my kids are always on Playhouse Disney, Nick and PBSkids.
