4 Games Girls Love

If you have ever sat down with your daughter at the computer, you have realized that there are certain games that girls love to play that you did not have the foggiest idea even existed previously. The internet has opened up a vast floodgate of information and gaming and now your child has a much wider variety of entertainment options to choose from when she goes online to enjoy a game. Of the hundreds to choose from, many fit into these four popular categories.

Dress Up Games

Dress up games are exactly what they sound like. Your child dresses up an online doll. The dress up games might consist of the latest fashions, in turn making your child a fashion designer in a sense as she pairs up tops and bottoms and accessorizes skirts and dresses of all kinds. Other dress up games have a more period feel. These dress up games might have you and your child dressing a belle of the ball or a rock star of the Eighties. Other dress up games branch out even more into fantasy characters. For your child, the sheer number of games available makes dress up games a very popular option for expressing creativity and playing a bit with styles.

Cooking Games

Cooking games are great fun to watch and almost addicting to play. When you play a cooking game, you will be manning the grill or the counter. You will learn to balance orders, cook food and essentially keep everyone satisfied. If you are working the grill in a cooking game, for example, you will start by getting basic orders to fill. You will cook what you need, put it on the virtual plate and send it on. The orders get increasingly complex and you must work faster to keep up with the harder orders as the levels continue to increase. At the higher levels, you are essentially running a complex and powerful operation, even if it is just beach hot dogs. Keeping up with orders and planning ahead for what you see coming is a skill that suits everyone on some level.

Role-Play Games

Games where you can take on a new character are immensely popular with both boys and girls. Unlike many games of the past, however, playing the newer forms of role-play games, you get to create the character you like as opposed to simply selecting one of a few ready made characters. Go through the game adding value and points to your character. Take on battles, buddy up with friends and raid, pillage and plunder together in a true definition of team work.

Alternative Worlds

In a game that includes alternative worlds, you will find kids creating full homes and families in their fantasy world. The girls design houses and then take up life in the “new” environment. They drive cars to work and as they get more points, they can trade them in for upgrades to your car or home to make it even more customized to your liking. The alternative worlds that the girls enjoy can also include, and usually do, pets and give them a chance to take responsibility for feeding and caring for a pet, even if it is a virtual gold fish.
