I took away some of my DS9's website game privileges with some of the game sites like petatopia and even PBS kids. He has had behavior problems when playing these never ending maze type games. He was getting too excited and didn't want to stop and yelled.

He would like some new games websites to play. He is not wanting a learning type thing. He has enjoyed pogo with Chess and pop it but would like something more adventurous. He is very sensitive and intense. We try to keep the violence factor minimal.

My ds9 has enjoyed wizards101.com, logging in and calling a friend who also plays was particularly enjoyable as they could try to find each other and do things together. He has sort of petered out playing that one after a couple months, though.
There are some scary bits (probably only scary for much younger than 9), I think, explosions when spells go off, but I did not see anything where people or animals were really getting hurt...iirc.

Have you tried the BBC site? They have great educational games. I don't have the link handy, but I'm guessing that if you google for it you'll find it. A lot of good flash-based mini games.

Wolf loves Red Remover at Bubblebox.com (so does DH and all his friends....).

btw, I had a typo in the web address, it's www.wizard101.com, and also I was wrong about ds not playing so much. Just yesterday he got on for a while, called one of his cousins and played with them for a bit.

thank you for suggestions. always open to more.
