National Geographic Kids Games

School’s just about out and kids are looking forward to a summer full of fun. Get them excited with these challenging and intriguing games from National Geographic. First, check out “Top Games,” which kids have rated the highest. My personal favorite is “Zipper’s Pipe Panic 2”—a total hoot!

“Interactive Adventures” features games about faraway places—don’t miss the “Tomb of the Unknown Mummy.” And make sure you check out the “Geography Games,” including my fave, “GeoSpy.” Finally, by way of a detour, click on the yellow “Activities” tab at the top of each Web page for tons of things kids can do and make (while not on their computer) during summer vacation.
