Play Kid Safe Games On Chromebook


Well I have had my Chromebook for a while now, and my kids want to play games on it, and I have found a free way to turn it into a gaming console. Well this is easily done on the Google Play store, but unfortunately too many of the games involve violence, blood and guts. Well I am trying to keep my children from ultra violent video games like many parents are these days, but it is so hard to do. My concern is a valid one and I was getting tired of monitoring all of the downloads that they were asking me to download for them, and so I told them only schoolwork on the Chromebook until further notice. They were not happy with me but they understand my concerns and respected my wishes.


A week went by when I had my 6 year old sons (yes they are twins) come home from school and ask me to use my Chromebook. I asked them why they needed it and they told me that they use Friv in school and want to do it at home as well because it is “fun”. Well not thinking that they know the correct name of the website I did a quick Google search and found Friv4school. So I clicked the search result I saw that looked like this:


I went to the site and I have to say I was so happy that my children told me about this site they use at school as a reward. There are so many games on there including my favorite Flappy bird. Yes you can play the famous Flappy Bird on your Chromebook. You may be thinking that there is a catch, because there always is with free sites with games, but with this one there is no. There is no need to register, sign up or any request for your information. Just go to the site and play games that are kid friendly, some are educational, and most of all they are fun.


I created a YouTube video you may want to check out showing how to use Friv and a few others:



Well I guess all that is left to say is go there and have fun. You can now let your kids go on there and play without fear of them giving up information, or playing games that you may not approve of. I highly suggest you check out the link to free games and start enjoying some gaming on your Chromebook.
