What Are the Best Family-Friendly Online Games for Kids?

 
Did you know that over 200 million copies of Minecraft have been sold since 2020? When it comes to online games, family members get their kids involved in a wide selection of games including Minecraft, with many selections offering better features than others. 

Whether the focus is on trivia or exercise, a fun family night means knowing which games have the best features, graphics, family-oriented gameplay, and replay value. Here are the best family-friendly online games for kids available to play right now.

Just Dance 2022

Want your kids to get a healthy dose of exercise and enjoy fun music at the same time? The 2022 version of Just Dance comes with an updated list of tunes, some meant for kids, all designed for family enjoyment. Embrace the fun beats and energetic tones of Meghan Trainor, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga, or relax and stay G-rated with more kid-friendly tones from The Yetties and Sunlight Shakers. Turn the volume up with these tunes and you won't have to worry about shattering anyone's eardrums. Just Dance 2022 brings both competition and music to your living room.

Rocket League

There's soccer and then there's soccer and fast cars. With Rocket League, you get a bit of both worlds all combined into one. Like in real soccer, the goal is to get the ball into the enemy's goal, only, you'll be using cars and if your kids want to succeed, they'll have to keep up with a rather quick pace. In addition to the customization options available for kids, your family gets split-screen multiplayer. Start a game with two players connected at once! 

This game has plenty of addictive values that'll keep your kids playing for hours until bedtime. An important fact worth mentioning: Rocket League, created by Psyonix, has also been awarded the 2015 Best Independent Game Award. Psyonix is just one of the 30.7 million small businesses operating in the United States.

Family Feud

Just like in the television game show by Steve Harvey, in the online edition, players identify the most popular rated answers for points. The most popular answers get the most points, making for a competitive, fun, and popular game your family can play over and over, no matter the environment. You can even host or join a Zoom meeting and, as long as you have access to the original game software (PS4, PC), you can finish a game in under an hour. Just be sure to remember that part of being successful in this game is learning how to buzz-in for answers quickly. So, make sure you have your game face on early.

Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of Fortune gives you a chance to guess the word while also adding other letters. Will you choose a consonant or a vowel? Will you choose to guess the word right now or wait until you've completed a few spins? The price for playing this game online is, well, priceless. Family-friendly and easy-to-understand, it's the fastest way to bring a game everyone in the family enjoys to the living room in their homes. 

Remember, Wheel of Fortune is a game where luck is as valuable as skill, as picking the best letters requires some ability to sense the answer without doubting yourself. Your family will enjoy learning how to trust their instincts and play a game that's so popular. For the online versions, remember that data transmission and storage security are imperative. So, make sure you keep your login information safe when starting with multiplayer.

Whether your family's looking for a game that's energetic and fast-paced or consistent and calm, playing online games is a great way to bring families closer. There will be plenty of opportunities for your kids to enjoy family-friendly games. Select these games and pay attention to how they'll improve your kids' brain function. You'll be on your way to enjoying a more memorable Family Game Night.
