A child-friendly game should teach itself in under a minute, and the good ones in this category do. There is a picture, a prompt, and a reward. A child learns what to do by doing it. Sessions are gentle: a few stages of matching, sorting, coloring or hopping, with a celebration at each finish. There is no clock to beat and nothing to lose.

Controls

Tap, hold and swipe on phones and tablets
Mouse or trackpad on a computer; arrow keys or WASD where the game asks for movement

Why it's worth a go

Indie Copter keeps things simple and kind. It runs free in a browser tab with no download or login, which makes it quick to open when a child needs five minutes of something fun. The gentle difficulty means almost every attempt ends well, and that matters at this age.

Who it's for

Suits children from around three upward, with the youngest benefiting from an adult nearby. Older children may finish it quickly but often like the colors and sounds anyway.
