Games selection by age group: Toddler: This age group will be looking for colorful games full of sound and motion. For example you could find a game with a fury creature. This is a great way to teach your child how to use a computer and to learn. Preteen: Children in this age group will have different interests based on age. Younger preteens, 8 or 9, are looking for light strategy with lots of colors and motion. Think of sonic the hedgehog as a good example of a colo

rful strategy game. Math games are great for this age group. As your preteen gets older they will be looking for more action and more challenging strategy. You will find your preteen playing less at games based on cartoons and more games based on movies. Racing games are good for this age group. Teen: Teens are generally the targeted audience for game developers. Your teen may look for role playing games offering high degrees of strategy or may be looking to play war games. You will find less teens playing racing games.
