Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels from the British author J. K. Rowling. The books are presenting the adventures of the adolescent wizard called Harry Potter and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and of course of many other characters. But the three of them are the main ones. They are students at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The central conflict of the story is between Harry Potter and the evil wizard called Lord Voldemort. This person killed Harry Potter’s parents and his desire is to conquer the wizard world and to control the non-magical people too. The books were successful, but Harry became really popular all over the world when it was made the first Harry Potter movie. The Harry Potter character is played by the now-famous actor Daniel Radcliffe.

The first movie was so successful, that there were made others, and in 2009 was released the sixth part of the movie, named “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. The books and movies also inspired a lot of game creators. So now there are many games featuring these character. You can find both complex computer and console games but also Harry Potter free online games.

One of the most famous sites with funny flash games is funny-games.biz, and it also has some Harry Potter games. Now let’s play some of them and then discuss them. We’ll begin with the game simply called “Harry Potter 3D”. A group of pixies has been released into the classroom, and your goal is to use your magical wand and to get them back in the cage. Be careful because they are fast, tricky and hard to capture. Use the mouse to aim your wand and then click it to cast a spell. Also use the W, A, S, D keys to move the character and the space bar to jump.

Now let’s play a game from another site, and we’ll choose the “Harry Potter and the Marauders Map”. The goal of this game is to collect all the structural blocks of Hogwarts castle, Askaban and other maps before the time runs out. But be careful because the blocks are placed into a maze, and there are also guards all over the place. If you will get caught by the guards three times, the game is over. You can also gather coins for more points and use the unseen suit to help you. Also walk into the teleporting areas to move from one place to another. Use just the arrow keys to move around. The graphic of the game is not so complex, but it is ok for a online game.

Another game is the “Harry Potter Whomping Willow”. In this one Ron Weasley is taken by Whomping Willow, and the goal of Harry and Hermione is to save him. You will have to avoid the swinging branches of the Whomping Willow for 60 seconds. But if you get hit too many times, the game will be over. It is an arcade game, so it’s pretty short. Use the arrow keys to move around, and to avoid the branches. You will know there the next strike will be because you will see a shadow in that place. But react really fast, because immediately after you see the shadow, there will be the branch coming and hitting you. Your character is all black, but will turn red when you are hit. After four hits, the game is over…and also after 60 seconds, if you manage to resist.

Another interesting Harry Potter game is the “Half Blood Prince Crystal Ball Game”. It is quite simple to understand, but tricky to play. You will have four magical balls in front of you, and each one will show an image from the Harry Potter movie. Look very careful at all the images, because they will change quickly and there will be another four images on the crystal balls. Three of them are different from before, and only one is the same. Your goal will be to spot the image that it’s repeating. After figuring out the solution, click on the correct numbers.

If you are both a fan of  Harry Potter and driving games, then you should try the  “Harry Potter Knight Bus Driving Game”.  Just like in the Harry Potter movies, the Knight Bus picks up wizards and drops them off at their destination. In this game you can drive this Knight Bus on the streets of London and search for passengers. Once you find one pick him up and take him to his destination. But hurry up because you have a limited amount of time. For each passenger that you successfully take to the destination you will get extra time to help you with the next passengers. But if you run out of time the game is over. Also don’t hit the buildings because you will get damage points, and if you reach 100 % damage, the game is also over. Use the arrow keys to control the bus and the space bar to make a fast u-turn. A target will appear in a green circle, and you will also have green arrows showing you where to go to the passenger. Once you pick him up, the arrow will turn into purple, and will show you the way to the destination. The destination is also marked with a circle, a purple one. To pick up or leave a passenger just stop on the target, and he will automatically get up or down from the buss. You will start with just 30 seconds, but you will gain more time during the game. The graphic of the game is not so advanced, and also the bus is very difficult to control, but after you get used with it, it can be fun. So enjoy it!

Well these were just some Harry Potter free online games, and of course there are many more others. Just make time to search for them, and try them all. Have fun!

No matter if you are tired after a long day of work, or you are in your working brake, or you just want to have some fun on the computer, you can always choose to play a video game. Of course you can play a complex game, that will require a lot of time and computer resources, but it is much more simple to play a online game. These kinds of games are very short (so you can finish a game in about 5-10 minutes, as long as it takes for a break at work) and they are also easy to play (you will learn the instructions in just a few seconds). They don’t need any installation because you play them directly from the internet. And the most important …you won’t have to pay anything for them because they are absolutely free. Just log on the internet, search for a site with free online games, and play them.

One of these sites is funny-games.biz. It has so many games, and beside this it also offers some funny videos, pictures, jokes and cartoons. The games are divided into categories and these are: sport games, shooting games, racing games, puzzle games, multiplayer games, fighting games, casino games, card games, board games and also arcade games. In this article we will choose some random games, play them and discuss them, leaving you the task to try all the others and tell us more about them.

Let’s begin with the game called LRD Rebirth. It is a RPG fighting game and your goal is to recover your former strength and destroy the human race. First you can train and learn some spells and only after that conquer the Pacific Isles. Along the way you can also follow specific events. Before try to conquer Austrolokia (the capital of humans) you must take control of all the islands. The game is easily controlled just with the mouse. It will begin with a story, which of course you can skip if you want.

We first said that the online games are usually short, but we began with a RPG game which is usually longer. So now let’s choose a simple and short game. And one of these kind is the “Grid babes”. We all know that in a car race the winner get all the chicks. So this game is based exactly on this idea. You will have to race with your car, and for each opponent that you take over, you will be congratulated by a hot girl. Use the arrow keys to control your car, and also be careful to avoid obstacles such as ponds, wholes in the road or stones. Like we told you, the game is really short and will end after just one minute, or even less. Even if the graphic is not so cool, you can forget about this because your eyes will be just on the hot girls :).

Another fun and more complex game is the Cyclo maniacs. Your goal here will be to ride your bike through many interesting races. There are 26 tracks and 20 bikes. There are also 70 achievements to unlock. Use the arrow keys to control your bike and the X or space bar to jump. (bunny hop). If you have a horn, you can activate it with the B key. The interesting thing is that you won’t race just on Earth, there are some tracks on the moon and on an asteroid too. But of course you will have to unlock them first. First you will play in the dessert. You will have some tasks to do during the game, and also with time you will be able to buy upgrades for your bike. Like we told you there are 20 bikes, and each bike has its own character. There will be some cool and funny characters such as robots, Mr. C, Elvis Presley, a ninja, a bear, a stick man, Bruce Lee, the comedians Stan and Bran, a dinosaur, a skeleton, a zombie, a penguin, a clown and others. Use the up arrow key to accelerate, and the right arrow key to lean forward and gain more speed. Also be careful to rotate your bike in the air to land safely. The more time you will spend in the air, the more stunt points you will get. To get trick points you will have to do forward or backward somersaults. The forwards are worth more points than the others and if you do more in a row, you will get even more points. You can also do front or rear wheelies (by leaning in front or in the back) and they will also bring you trick points. When you will fill up the boost meter, the boost will start and you will go even faster. To have money for the upgrades you will have to finish in a better position. You will gain 100 dollars for the first place, 50 for the second, 25 for the third and so on. If you will land badly, the screen will turn red, and you will be able to start all over again, but you will lost a lot of time. So be careful and of course, have fun.

There are so many more fun games on funny-games.biz but the limited space and time allows us to play just one more. We’ll choose the Crunch ball 3000. It is a futuristic and violent sports game and your goal is the get the ball into the opponent’s goal. There are 4 divisions, 32 teams and 320 players, each with their unique abilities. You can also customize your team and players, upgrade equipments, transfer players and other activities like in a normal soccer game. But a difference from the other sports games is that you can give your players some drugs for a better performance, with the risk of taking a fine. Use the W, A, S, D to move the player, the G key to throw the ball, the H to pass and the J to change formation. The graphic and options in the menu are pretty similar to a FIFA game. But the graphic in the game is different, because you will see the players just from above, without being able to change the angle. Like we said the game is violent, and the players will hit each other really hard. During the game you will hear some pretty nice house music. Enjoy!

We all know that children love to play. They don’t have any worries or problems (especially when they are not at school) so there only “worry” is to play games and have fun. In this article we’ll present some funny outdoor games for teens. If you are a child then just read them and try them , if you are a parent tell them to your kids and show them how informed you are on funny games or if you are a teacher, tell them to your students to make them have fun.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The first we’ll be presenting is called “Ha ha ha”. It is very simple to play but also fun. Have the kids lying somewhere on the ground (or on the grass). The first person sits normally, the second sits with his head on the first persons stomach and so on. The first kid says “Ha”, the second says “ha ha”, the third “ha ha ha” and so on, until everyone said the correct number of Ha’s. Usually you won’t get to the point where everyone will said all the “ha’s” because the group will burst into giggles and laugh.

Another game is called “Around the world”. Have the group of kids sitting in a circle with their hands held together. Another kid will be sitting in the centre of the circle. Break a set of linked arms and put a plastic hoop (a big circle) in between and then connect their hands again. Now the circle is trapped and has no way out of the chain of hands. The person sitting in the middle will have to get the hoop around the circle, from the point where it starts and back again. He will have to pass the hoop over and under the other kids. Give each kid a limited amount of time, and the person who will get the hoop “Around the world” as fast as possible is the winner.

An interesting game is the “Back to back”. This is all about team work. Make pairs of kids with about the same height and weight. They have to sit on the ground, back to back. The objective for them is to stand up from the ground, in unison. The parent or teacher may stand close to the kids to be careful so they won’t fall and injure. After they completed this task you can make groups of four or even eight and get them to the same task.

Some very famous outdoor games are the slip n’ slide games. For these kinds of games you will need some supplies to make some kind of a course or a toboggan. Of course the surface of the course must be really slippery. Usually these games are played during the summer, and the kids will be naked (or at least their upper side of the body). To make the course you will need a long piece of plastic, and to make it slippery you can use oil, shampoo, or other slippery liquids, but the most simple way is to use a lot of water. The goal of the game is simple…the kids will have to run and then throw themselves on the slippery surface and slide as much as possible. To make it easier for the kids, place the plastic on a valley. Be careful to also make a stopping area. After the slide they can fall directly in water, or on a big pile of hay or anything else. But make sure that plastic surface doesn’t end  suddenly, so they can get injured.

Another game involving team work is called “Amoeba Race”. First make teams of at least 5 persons. Then tie a rope around all of them, at the waist level. Make the rope as tight as possible without hurting the kids. Then make a predetermined track with or without obstacles, and get them to run on the course. You can get two or more teams to make a race, or you can get the time of each team.

Another fun game that can be played in summer is the Balloon squash. For this one you will need a lot of balloons. You can fill them with shaving cream or foam to make the game more fun, but you can also use simple balloons. If you are suing shaving cream or another material, then you must also place a plastic tarp on the place where the balloons will be popped. Divide the kids into two teams, and line them in order. Place them at about 10 meters from the balloons. When you give the start, the kids will have to run as quickly as possible to the balloons, then get a balloon and sit on him until it pops. After that he must get back to his team, and tag the next player to go. The first team who will get all of its players accomplish this, is the winner.

If you are a gym teacher, and your students really like basketball, you can get them to try this game. First divide the kids into 3 teams (we assume that you have 2 baskets on the field). One team has the ball, and the others will each sit on one side of the filed, at one basket. The team that has the ball will have to attack one of the other teams. Now the rules of basketball are the same as in a normal game. If the team who is attacking scores a basket, then it can move on to the other team. If the team who is defending gains possession of the ball then it will be the center team, and will have the possibility to attack. The team that will score the most of the points is the winner. You can try this game if you have too many students for a regular basketball game. This way the teams will be changing really fast (at just one basket), and all the kids will have the chance to play.

Of course these were just a few funny outdoor games for teens and you can find many more others on the internet. Have fun and be safe!
