Is Cooking Place appropriate for a four-year-old?

Games in the Kids category are chosen for young children, with simple controls and no inappropriate content. A parent should still have a quick look at the first stage.

Does it need reading?

Mostly not. Kids games rely on pictures, arrows and sounds to show what to do. Any text is minimal and an adult can read it aloud.

Can my child play on a tablet?

Yes, and that is usually the easiest device. Tapping and dragging are natural for small hands, and the screen is large enough to see everything.

The guide

Overview

You in the game Cooking Place will help the chef to serve the customers. In front of you on the screen will be visible to the rack behind which your hero will be. Customers will come to her and place orders. They will be displayed next to customers as pictures. You will have to study it carefully and then start cooking. Certain foodstuffs will be at your disposal. You, following the instructions on the screen, will have to prepare a given dish and then give it to the customer. If everything suits him, then the client will be satisfied and pay for the prepared dish.

What it's like to play

Games made for kids keep everything big, bright and forgiving. The buttons are large. The goals are obvious. Mistakes are met with a gentle try again rather than a game over. A session might involve matching shapes, feeding an animal, dressing a character or hopping across a stream, and whatever it is, the pace is set by the child rather than a timer.

How to play

1Tap the big Play button, then tap or click anything that wiggles, glows or bounces. That is the game showing what to touch.
2Follow the pointing hand or arrow if one appears. It will guide the first few actions.
3Drag items to where they belong, or tap in time with the music, depending on the game.
4Celebrate at the end of each stage and tap the arrow to go to the next one.

Why it's worth a go

Cooking Place is safe, gentle and free. It runs in the browser with no download or account, which means nothing to install and nothing to clean up. Children can play alone once they have seen the first stage, and parents can see the whole screen at a glance.

Who it's for

Suits young children, roughly ages three to eight, playing alone or with a parent nearby. Older siblings can help with reading. It is also handy for grandparents sharing a tablet with a grandchild.
