<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thanks to both Ibere and Eric for providing excellent game resources for the younger ones among us. I have a preschool son that I set up Lubuntu with the Edubuntu preschool bundle on a netbook. I preferred Lubuntu + the Edubuntu Bundles instead of Edubuntu for the lightweight aspect of it. I have been looking around for more educational games for him. Thanks for the info! </div>Best </div>David Yentzen <div><div> </div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 5:33 PM, Iberê Fernandes <<a href="mailto:ibere.fernandes@gmail.com" target="_blank">ibere.fernandes@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">2013/11/12 Eric Bradshaw <<a href="mailto:ericbradshaw@computers4christians.org">ericbradshaw@computers4christians.org</a>>: <div><div class="h5">> These are games my 9 year old actually has kept on her computer running > Lubuntu: > > Blinken "<a href="http://edu.kde.org/blinken/" target="_blank">http://edu.kde.org/blinken/</a>" Bouncy the Hungry Rabbit > "<a href="http://www.pyweek.org/e/bouncy/" target="_blank">http://www.pyweek.org/e/bouncy/</a>"" Child's Play > <a href="http://childsplay.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://childsplay.sourceforge.net/</a>" Linux Letters and Numbers > "<a href="http://lln.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://lln.sourceforge.net/</a>" Potato Guy > "<a href="http://games.kde.org/game.php?game=ktuberling" target="_blank">http://games.kde.org/game.php?game=ktuberling</a>" GCompris > "<a href="http://gcompris.net/-en-" target="_blank">http://gcompris.net/-en-</a>" TuxMath > "<a href="http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/tuxmath/" target="_blank">http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/tuxmath/</a>" Tux Typing > "<a href="http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/tuxtyping.php" target="_blank">http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/tuxtyping.php</a>" Tux Paint > "<a href="http://tuxpaint.org/" target="_blank">http://tuxpaint.org/</a>" > > Flash Games (swf files) that my daughter actually plays are below.
