Whenever you are bored and you are looking for something fun to do, you can choose to play a video game. There are many types of video games…some of them are really complex these days, with a very advanced graphic and game play, and these kind of games usually come on CD-s or DVD-s and they need to be bought. But there are also a lot of fun free games that can be found on the internet.

Since they are free, and since they are made with the flash technology, they don’t have such an advanced graphic and actually they are quite simple. But this doesn’t mean that they aren’t fun to play and some of them can be really addictive. There are all sort of free online flash games, with so many topics. Some of them are sports games, others are fighting games, other are driving games or puzzle games or card games and so on. Some of the most popular ones are the driving simulators. So you can drive day to day cars, racing cars, boats, motor bikes, jet skis and so many other vehicles and you can even drive trains.

Today we are going to discuss about some free online train games. You can find some of them on this site: http://www.realrailway.com . Just visit the site, and then go to the “Simulator” page. Here you will see a list with all the games from the site that you can play. But even though you don’t understand Japanese, you can still play a game. Just click on one of the game images, and in the next page click on the big “Start” button.

It will take some time before the game loads, depending on your internet connection. Some games have many displays (such as time display, speed display, distance display and others) and you can turn the ones you want on or off. The objective of the game is simple…you have to get from one station to the next one in the time limit. So on the screen you will see the station where you start in, the station where you have to get to and the hour you have to be there. You will also see the speed that you are going with, the time that you have left, and also the distance left to that station. To drive the train you can use the keyboard or the mouse. Actually just in some of the games you can use the keyboard.

Usually you have to press the down arrow key to accelerate, the up arrow key to brake and the left arrow key for neutral. While pressing the keys you will notice that one of the handles from the dashboard will move. And that is the acceleration and brake handle, which you can also use with the mouse. Just press on it and drag the mouse up or down to accelerate or brake. While accelerating you will see a green icon with the sign P, and the speed will grow. When you are in the neutral position you will see a yellow icon with the N sign.



When you activate the brake there will be a red icon with the B sign, and when the brake is pressed all the way down there will be the sign EB (emergency break). So just start you train, accelerate, and get to the other station in time. But be very careful when you approach the station, because you will have to break much earlier (especially if you have a big speed). If you over pass the station, the game is over. In front of you (on the front window of the train) you will actually see a real movie filmed on the rail station. Even though it looks like a bad quality movie, the driving sensation will be quite nice and realistic. So enjoy these great train simulator games from the site, and if you know some others that worth playing, tell us all about them. Have a nice day!

There are so many free online flash games on the internet and they are so diversified that you can find a game about anything you can think of. For example you can find some games inspired by sports, by day to day activities (cooking, cleaning, driving etc), or games inspired by real characters (actors, musicians and even politicians) and so on.

So there will be a game for everyone, no matter what kind of activities and hobbies they have. Some of these games are really funny, others are more serious or educative, but almost all of them are fun and addictive. You can play some of them by yourself, having all sorts of missions and tasks and playing against the computer, but there are also some games that you can play against other real players.

These are called “multiplayer games”, and there are  2 types. First there are the multiplayer games that you can play with a friend, and both of you are playing from the same computer and the same keyboard. And the other type are the online multiplayer games, that you can play against other players, and each one plays from his own computer, and you are connecting with each  other through the internet. The fun part about this type of games is that you can play a game with people from any country of the world, and talk with each other through the game language. In some games you can play in the same team with other players, and fight against the computer, while in others you will play directly against other players.

The most famous multiplayer games are the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) and these are played by millions of people every day. They are really addictive and it is known that many people are spending a lot of hours each day playing these games. You can find out more about them  in our articles about the “role playing games” (RPG). But today we are going to discuss about some of the best online free multiplayer games found on the famous site miniclip.com.

This is a complex site, that is available in many languages and that is offering all sort of free and fun games. And of course if offers some multiplayer games too. Since they are played by so many people, in most of them you will first have to make yourself a profile. Here you will choose your name, and in some cases you can choose and customize your character. Then you will go to the lobby and see which other players are online, and then connect in which game you want.

One of the games is the “Monkey snowfight”.  This is quite a fun game where you can challenge one player at a time. Then you will start a snowfight battle with your monkey against his monkey. You will first have to click on the lower and smaller circle, and hold and drag it with the mouse to set the angle of the shot. The press on the above circle, to load the cannon with snow. You will notice that as you put more snow in the canon, the big pile of snow behind you will become smaller.



And finally press the circle above to set the power of the shot. And then just wait until the canon launches the snow balls. If you will hit an ice cube or another obstacle, the snow balls will splatter there. But if there is no obstacle in the way, and you aimed correct, then you will hit the other monkey, and it will lose health. Depending on how many snow you put in the canon, the snow ball will be bigger or smaller. If there is a lot of ice in front of you, you will first have to destroy it first to make way to the opponent. Good luck!

Barney & Friends is a famous children’s television show that was originally produced in the United States of America. It aims very young children from ages 1 to 8, and it had become famous all over the world. The series was first aired in 1992, and the main character of the TV series is a purple dinosaur (Tyrannosaurus Rex) which is always happy and tries to learn the kids all sort of things through songs and dance routines. He is a stuffed animal likeness and his theme song is “Barney is a dinosaur” (which is sung to the tune of “Yankee Doodle”). Even though the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a carnivore dinosaur, Barney likes to eat many kinds of food, such as fruits and vegetables ( probably to learn the kids that it is good to eat fruits and vegetables) but his favorite food is the peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk.

Among his dinosaur friends you will find Baby Bop, which is a three year old green protoceratops. She carries with her a yellow blanket and sings the song called “My yellow blankey” to show that this thing is very important to her. Her favorite food is macaroni with cheese and pizza. The bigger brother of Baby Bop is B.J., which is also a protoceratops dinosaur, but an yellow one. He is also older and he has 7 years. His theme song is the “B.J’s Song” and he wears a red baseball cap and red sneakers. His favorite food are the pickles.

And the last friend of Barney is Riff, which is the cousin of Baby Bop and BJ, and he is a six year old orange hadrosaur. He wears green sneakers and his song is “I hear music everywhere”. And this is because he really loves music. He also likes to invent things and is a fan of marching bands and parades, just like Barney is. So here are all the four dinosaurs in the next image:

The monkeys will stay quite a lot on the screen, allowing your child to easily catch them. To make a perfect score and complete the game he will have to catch 10 monkeys.



Now let’s play the “Every animal talks game”. Every animal talks in a different way and in this game your child will learn these sounds. You will first here a sound, and you will have in front of you many images with different animals. Whenever you place your mouse above an animal, he will make its specific sound, and you just have to click on the one that is matching the sound from the question. After clicking on the correct animal, Barney will repeat to you the name of the animal, and its specific sound. For example “Correct! The lion says…”. After completing all the 8 animals, you can move on to the next game. After each completed game you will earn a free printing image with a game character. Just click on the green “Print” button to print that specific image.

And now let’s play the final game which is “Jungle friends jam”. This one is pretty close to the game before, only that here you can make some kind of music with the animal’s sounds. You will have two background noises to choose from, and when clicking on an animal, it will make its specific sound. You can move fast, and click on all the animals to make them “sing” in the same time.

You will have three clovers in front of you and you will have to click on the one with four leaves. Then the leaves will be more and more mixed together, making the finding of the right one more difficult.



In Japan, at the Cherry Blossom festival you will have to click the buds on the branches and the cherry blossoms will bloom. The mouse cursor will have the aspect of a big glow, making the clicking a little more difficult.

In Brazil at the Carnival, you will have to help Barney to dress up for the parade. Just click on the arrows from the left and right side of the screen to change the clothes of Barney. The arrows in the upper side of the screen will change his hat, the middle arrows will change his body clothes, and the arrows from the bottom of the screen will change his shoes. When you made an image that you like, you can print it with the “Print” button.

Now let’s go to Kenya, at the Music Festival. Here you will have to click on the instruments to make them play, and click the beat buttons to hear background music. You will have five instruments to choose from, that are specific to the African music. And finally let’s go to India at the Festival of Lights. First watch the candles as they light up. The click on them in the same order. Can you remember the order? There will be more and more candles lighting in each level, and they are also accompanied by a musical sound, to make you remember the order better. Good luck!



And finally let’s play some of the Birthday Games. The first one is “Decorate a cake”. Here you have to drag and drop different items and place them on the cake, such as little teddy bears, candles, lollipops, strawberries and others. You can also color the cake, and all of the items, by using the color palette. After you are ready you can print the cake image. If you press the “Hurray” button Barney and his friends will appear making you a surprise. Have fun! And now the last game from the site, that is called “It fits”. Here you will have a few objects of different sizes, and also gift packs of different sizes. And you will have to take each object and place it in the correct package. When you place the object right, the package will be sealed and ready to be given to the celebrated person.  So here were the Barney fun games from the site…we hope you enjoyed all of them.
