Nowadays, we all use computers for certain reasons and certainly in certain situations in which their use might be considered important for us. Some of us need to use computers very often at work as well as at home for always getting better informed about all sorts of aspects from our field of activity or from other domains that we might be interested in. Others use computers especially at home for having fun or for finding all sorts of useful activities in which to get involved in their spare time. No matter for what reasons we might need to use computers it is equally important for us to be aware of certain important aspects related to them as those aspects will enable us to work with them properly and to achieve the necessary results in such activities in which we might employ these devices. In what concerns the possible way in which we can have fun by using computers there need to be mentioned activities such as those of watching movies and listening to music as well as those in which we play all sorts of games.

There are also available for us to choose in this respect all sorts of fun learning games that our children might play in order for them to combine ways of having fun with ways of learning for a better understanding of certain things or just for teaching them how to do both of these things at once. Children are not always very aware of the reasons for which they are required to learn certain things and in this way such games could prove to be a possible way of attracting them into learning certain important things or of distracting their attention from not so useful games that they might find and might be curious to play.

One example of a fun learning game for children is the Typing game. As its name suggest it represents a keyboarding game which cane attract children’ attention and which can also help them improve their keyboarding skills as they most probably are already interested in working with computers as they see them being used all the time by their parents and teachers and this makes them be curious as well. Computer science is also taught in schools nowadays and in this way such games could be considered as appropriate begging activities which may attract their interest in becoming able to use computers and later on to learn more about them. And what is the most important to be considered in this respect is the fact that such basic knowledge will be achieved while having fun and in this way children will be attracted to it more and more.



There are all sorts of fun learning games available for children and not only nowadays and parents have the opportunity of analyzing them and of deciding which might be useful for their children as well. It is very important for parents to be careful to what kind of games are being chosen for their children so as for them not be exposed to anything that might prove to be harmful to them in any way.

Whenever you are bored and you are looking for a fun activity to do, you can choose to play a free online flash game. These are really simple and also really fun games. unlike the complex video games that come in CD-s and DVD-s, these are really simple to play (you learn the controls in just a few seconds, rather than in many minutes or even hours), and they also don’t last that long. A complex PC video game can last for many hours or even days, but a flash game lasts just for a few minutes, so that you won’t get bored.

And after you complete a game you can always move on to another one, because there are so many of them on the internet. If you wish to have fun, and stimulate your mind at the same time, you can choose to play a puzzle game. The most famous puzzle games are the point and click puzzle games, and more precise – the escape room games. These may seem like the most simple games of all (because all you have to do is use the mouse and click on the screen), but actually they are among the most complicated ones. And this is because you have to click on certain places, and find different objects that you will have to use later in order to trigger actions and finally escape from the room you are in.

There are many games of this type on the internet, and there is a site that has mostly “escaping games”. And how could it be called, rather then: http://www.escapetheroomgames.net/ . Let’s choose a game from this site and discuss more about it. Let’s take for example the “Escape the vampire room”. This is quite a fun game where you will have to escape from the room of Dracula. The game is not so complicated but it’s not that easy either. So search through the whole room and find objects that are useful to you.

The fun thing is that when you click somewhere on an object there will be some words about that place, making the game a little easier for you. We suggest to try the game first all by yourself, and see if you manage to complete it without any help. And if you don’t succeed here is the walkthrough for you: first go in the side of the room where the piano is, and click on top of it. Here you will find a knife, so click on it and collect it. Also collect the rope that is found on the curtain.

Then go to the picture of the vampire and hold the cursor right between his eyes. He will look cross-eyed and this will make his head to vibrate, and finally to explode. If you’ll click on his head you will find a sentence saying : “Drench the pentagram in fire and place the rodents head in the center”. Even though this seem senseless to you now, it will be useful later in the game. If you are here also click on the little brown match that is found somewhere on the left side, under the blood.

Now go to the pumpkin from one of the tables, and use the knife to cut it. Here you will find a clue saying that the great cheese loves to hear the “Mary had a little lamb” song on the organ. So now you have to go at the piano and play this song. If it wasn’t for this walkthrough you would have to search for the notes for this song, but here they are for you: e d c d e e e d d d e g g - and then - e d c d e e e e d d e d c.

Now that you played the song there will be a piece of cheese under the piano, so collect it and then place the cheese in front of the mouse hole. Now the mouse will come out to the cheese. Also collect the feather that is found on the head of the knight, and then use the feather to tickle him. Once you do this, he will drop the axe right on the mouse and cut him in half. Click on the head of the mouse to collect it and then take it in the middle of the pentagram (the one with a star shape).

Then use the knife to cut the mouse and inside of him you will find a key. Use this key to open the cabinet and from here take the gas. Now place the gas on the pentagram and use the match to light the fire. So now you understand what that sentence said. After making the fire, something will hang on the ceiling. Use the rope that you have to tie it there and the click on it. Now you will get on the roof and here turn on the shut and let the electricity in. Now you will be able to turn on the lamp, and on its light you will find a code. And finally go to the computer, turn it on and then write that code. After doing this a spirit will come out from the computer and destroy the door, so that you can escape the vampire room. And as a little joke, it says that in case you didn’t noticed, that soul was the soul of the little mouse :).

There are so many fun activities that you can do at your computer, and there are so much more to do on the internet. You can have some fun by watching movies on youtube, or downloading music, pics and other things, or you can chat with friends or meet new people, but you can also play some free online games. These are usually small and simple games made with the flash technology, that have a simple graphic but that are really fun to play.

Most of them have really simple controls, and usually you have to use just the mouse and the arrow keys. So this means that you will learn how to play the game in just a few seconds, and then you will be able to play it, and not waste time by learning all the controls like in the complex PC games. There are so many categories of flash games and here are just some of them: racing games, fighting games, 3 D games, card games , puzzle games , role playing games, dress up games and so on.

Some of the most popular ones are the racing games. In these ones you can drive and race with all sorts of vehicles such as: racing cars, day to day cars, motor bikes, dirt bikes,  boats, ski jets, bicycles, planes and others. So today we’ll discuss about some free online dirt bike games, and we’ll play some from the famous site funny-games.biz. Let’s begin with the one called “Max Dirt bike”. Your aim in this game is to ride your bike over the obstacles and get to the end of the level in the fastest time possible.

You have to use your balance and driving skills to keep your balance and pass each level. Use the up and down arrow keys to accelerate or break/reverse and the left and right arrow keys to lean backwards or forwards. The graphic of the game is very simple and basic, and both the bike and the environment are looking simple…but they are ok. The obstacles will consist of all sorts of shape coming out from the ground, and you will have to jump on or over them and get safely to the end of the level.

But the bike can be quite difficult to control, and you will need a lot of patience to get to the end of the level. When reaching the black area it means you have completed the level. After falling down you can always try again, and again…and to make it easier for you, you can press the space bar to start the level again. There is a time display, but we guess time is not so important, so you don’t have to hurry up. Just be really careful and try not to fall! Good luck!

Let’s discuss about one more game of this type, and we’ll choose the “Stunt dirt bike”. The objective of this game is the same: you must surmount all the obstacles as soon as possible and get to the end of the level. The controls are the same, but the graphic of this game is much better. And you can choose to play with a motor bike or an ATV, and each one has its own characteristics. For example the bike is fast, bouncy and easy to control but it's not stable, while the ATV has the exact opposite characteristics: it has a good stability but it is at the same time slow, hard to control and it’s not bouncy.

Once getting to level 9 and 12 you will unlock the second bike and the second ATV, which have almost perfect characteristics. As we said the graphic is much better for this game, and the environment will consist of dirt, trees, grass and so on, while the obstacles will be logs, trees, rocks and others, instead of simple geometrical shapes. So this is truly a dirt bike game that can be really fun to play. All you have to do is be patient, take your time and not get mad when you fall down…and just try again. Good luck!  So here were just 2 fun dirt bike games, but of course there are many more others on the internet. If you know some others that are cool and worth playing, tell us all about them!
