How to know if kids are safe playing online games   

• KidSAFE approved: make sure the online games have a stamp of approval from a reputable body. This way you can feel confident knowing that your child is spending time learning in a safe and fun online space.  

• Age appropriate: Games that keep children’s age in mind will protect them from inappropriate content.  

• No ads or in-app purchases: Make sure online games and kids’ apps are free from advertising and unnecessary, inappropriate distractions. 

• Privacy: Choose apps that prevent interaction with anonymous online users and protect children’s privacy.  

• Healthy screen time limit: Safety can be related to online game addiction for children and can distract them from other important things in life. Your child only needs 15 minutes a day to get the most out of reputable learning apps like Reading Eggs. 

• Positive screen time: Online games can be great fun, so why not opt for educational games that are entertaining, safe and good for your developing child?  

• Keep parents in the loop: Ultimately, parents need to know exactly what’s going on. Choose safe children’s games where you can monitor what they’re up to and review informative reports.
