20 Best Xbox One Games For Kids (That Aren’t Fortnite)
No more dabbing.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds educational xbox one games for 5 year olds](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/14670677_1366022036756232_1806916008546185666_n-50x50.jpg)
Just like the Wu-Tang Clan, there are plenty of games available on the Xbox One that are “for the children”, as ODB famously said . And yes, some of those games aren’t Fortnite , as shocking as that might be to believe right now, though this isn’t a tips article on how to get your child to stop playing free-to-play battle royale games, or how to stop them maxing out your credit card with microtransactions without your permission. You’re on your own there.
The fact is, there’s plenty of games that are suitable for children available on the Xbox One, and pretty much all of them support local multiplayer too, allowing to enjoy spending some quality time with your kids without worrying about 99 other players and a closing circle. With that in mind, here’s 20 of the best Xbox One games for kids (that aren’t Fortnite).
Bear in mind that thanks to backwards compatibility, all of these kid-friendly games will also work on Xbox Series X & S .
The Best Xbox One Games For Kids
20. rush: a disneypixar adventure.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Rush: A DisneyPixar Adventure](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Rush-1.jpg)
Developer: Asobo Studio Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Disney and Pixar fans should be pleased with the next two entries, once you’re done playing LEGO The Incredibles anyway. First off, Rush: A DisneyPixar Adventure, which is ideal for the five people left who actually own the Xbox Kinect . You know you are, and you finally have a reason to dust it off now, you lucky devils.
Rush: A DisneyPixar Adventure compiles the worlds of Cars, Toy Story, The Incredibles, Finding Dory, Up and Ratatouille, offering a variety of platforming, racing and puzzle levels that’ll keep the wee ones entertained. It’ll even give them some exercise if you’ve got that Kinect lying around. Seriously, what else are you using it for?
19. Supermarket Shriek
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Supermarket Shriek](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/supermarket-shriek.jpg)
Developer: Billy Goat Entertainment Publisher: Billy Goat Entertainment
Most of the time in gaming, you look to play something refined, maybe even sophisticated, but sometimes you just want something that’s a little bit daft. Supermarket Shriek is that kind of game, as you control a man and a goat, stuck inside a shopping trolley using their voice to propel themselves through a series of intricate levels.
While Supermarket Shriek can be enjoyed perfectly fine as a lone player, the game comes into its own as a co-op title, as two players can utilise the simple control scheme to escort our heroes to the finish line. With an 8-player party mode to boot, along with plenty of secret levels parodying other video games, Supermarket Shriek is a hell of time.
18. Disneyland Adventures
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Disneyland Adventures](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Disneyland-Adventure.jpg)
Developer: Frontier Developments Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Look, another Kinect supported title. Two in one article, who would have thought? Seems like we’re supporting the peripheral more than Microsoft is at this point. Anyway, Disneyland Adventures features a recreation of the famous Disneyland resort in California, though with a few omissions. No Star Wars content here, unfortunately. This is just classic Disney.
Players can explore Disneyland, interact with a variety of characters and fellow park attendees, find secrets and take on plenty of minigames. With support for 2 player co-op, Disneyland Adventures is the perfect way to trick your children like the evil mastermind that you are. “C’mon kids, we’re going to Disneyland!”, you say, as you corral your tykes in front of the TV.
17. Infinite Minigolf
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Infinite Minigolf](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Infinite-Minigolf.jpg)
Developer: Zen Studios Publisher: Zen Studios
Minigolf is a brilliant family activity, particularly if you’re on holiday I’ve found. There’s plenty of childhood memories of my Dad flexing on me and Mum during a trip around the course. Yeah, we get it Dad, you played actual golf. Infinite Minigolf is the closest you can come to replicating those memories without shelling out for a family holiday to Gran Canaria.
On the surface, Infinite Minigolf appears to be just a run of the mill minigolf title, but the “Infinite” in its name isn’t just there for show. Players can create their own holes with a range of obstacles and hazards to navigate before sharing them online for others to player, allowing for potentially limitless replayability.
16. Zoo Tycoon
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Zoo Tycoon](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ZooTycoon_20130814_0007.png)
Developer: Frontier Developments, Asobo Studio Publisher: Microsoft Studios
You might have noticed a certain theme that some children’s video games allow your children to experience things that might be logistically impractical for some. Not everyone lives near a minigolf course, not everyone can afford a trip to Disneyland, and not everyone can do a Matt Damon and say “We Bought A Zoo”. But you can build one in Zoo Tycoon.
While the more dense managerial aspects of the game might fly over the heads of most kids, Zoo Tycoon allows players to learn and interact with a wide range of wild animals, and the freeform mode lets kids build the zoo of their dreams with no consequence. There’s even Kinect functionality, which you may as well make the most of considering you dug it out for those Disney games.
15. Super Lucky’s Tale
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Super Lucky's Tale](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Super-Luckys-Tale.jpg)
Developer: Playful Corp. Publisher: Microsoft
A throwback in perhaps the best way possible, Super Lucky’s Tale is a classic 3D platformer in a similar vein to those of the N64/PS1 era. Think of it as a blend between the likes of Banjo-Kazooie and Crash Bandicoot; mostly linear platforming levels but with plenty of collectibles to find.
You play as Lucky, a cute little fox that must stop the nefarious Jinx from stealing the ancient Book of Ages. It’s a simple premise that’s ideal for children, and while the game does get progressively more difficult, it’s nothing that a young’un couldn’t handle.
If you’re looking for an old school platformer, and don’t want to subject your kids to the horrors of Crash’s The High Road level, Super Lucky’s Tale is a good pick.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Super Lucky's Tale - Xbox One](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Mo+z6aclL._SL75_.jpg)
14. Plants vs Zombies: Battle For Neighborville
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Plants vs Zombies Battle For Neighborville](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Plants-vs-Zombies-Battle-For-Neighborville.jpg)
Developer: PopCap Games Publisher: EA
All of the games on this list have that hidden danger that you’ll recommend them to your kids, only for you to end up playing them yourself more than they do. Plants vs Zombies: Battle For Neighborville is possibly the most surprising instance of that, as it’s an underrated banger of a title, offering a bit of something for everyone.
Taking the Plants vs Zombies series into the world of class-based third person shooters, Battle For Neighborville improves greatly on the previous Garden Warfare titles. Neighborville boosts the game’s single-player/co-op activities, with more campaign levels, areas and missions for both plants and zombies, while retaining the same multiplayer and survival game types that’ll keep you coming back for more.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville - Xbox One](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YyAmKWtKL._SL75_.jpg)
13. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sonic-All-Stars.jpg)
Developer: Sumo Digital Publisher: SEGA
Nintendo and Xbox’s relationship has become pretty cosy as of late, with previous Microsoft exclusive Cuphead now making its way to the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, we doubt that their sudden romance will lead to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe making its way to the Xbox One, so we’ll have to settle for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
We say “settle”, but Sonic & All-Stars is more than a worthy alternative to Nintendo’s original offering, combining some of SEGA’s biggest mascots in a kart racing game for the AGES. Though the 4 player local multiplayer might get a bit competitive, maybe even a little salty, you and the kids will find yourselves coming back for more every time.
12. Gang Beasts
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Gang Beasts](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gang-beasts-2.jpg)
Developer: Boneloaf Publisher: Double Fine
A more recent addition to this list, largely because it only came out about two days before this article got published, Gang Beasts is another one for those more competitive and rambunctious children out there. Better they try and batter each other in a video game than them trying to actually throw each other down the stairs.
The physics-based brawler that’s been a huge phenomenon the world over, Gang Beasts is like a lot of the other games on this list, as it’s perfect to play as a family. With enough controllers, the entire family can get involved, and the unpredictable nature of the game ensures that no one person will dominate the game.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Gang Beasts - Xbox One](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aZmF0I8ML._SL75_.jpg)
11. TrackMania Turbo
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds TrackMania Turbo](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/TrackMania-Turbo.jpg)
Developer: Nadeo Publisher: Ubisoft
The appeal of racing games is that anyone can understand the key premise of the genre: be the fastest. TrackMania Turbo is one of the purest racing game experiences you can play, largely due to the fact that your only opponent is yourself. Instead of racing against others, you’re competing for the best time across hundreds of tracks.
The low-intensity of TrackMania makes it a perfect fit within a kid’s game library, particularly if they’re a budding petrolhead, but the real attraction of TrackMania Turbo is the track creator. If you want your children to exhibit some creativity in different ways than usual, give this one a whirl.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds TrackMania Turbo - Xbox One](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kfxkVSZdL._SL75_.jpg)
10. Yooka-Laylee
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Yooka-Laylee](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/07-04-2017_19-10-44.jpg)
Developer: Playtonic Games Publisher: Team17
While Playtonic’s original offering might not have set the world on fire when it launched, there’s no denying that Yooka-Laylee is a fun old time that’s ideal for the tykes. As the titular chameleon and bat combo, you explore a host of worlds and try to stop the villainous Capital B and evil organisation.
The bright colours and silly humour of Yooka-Laylee makes the throwback platformer feel right at home as a kids game. With a co-operative multiplayer mode for two players, and a host of minigames for up to four, Yooka-Laylee can cater to an entire family when it comes to game night.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Yooka-Laylee - Xbox One](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515ZdFPvfFL._SL75_.jpg)
9. SpeedRunners
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds SpeedRunners](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/speedrunners-pc-review-7.jpg)
Developer: DoubleDutch Games Publisher: TinyBuild Games
Perhaps the most non-traditional racing game ever made, SpeedRunners is as competitive and enjoyable as they come. Up to four players compete to run faster than the competition in a 2D platformer/racing game hybrid, with those unable to keep up forced off-screen to sit out until the next round.
While SpeedRunners might not sound impressive on paper, the reality is that the game is basically a platforming version of Mario Kart, complete with power-ups to really turn the tide of the race. While SpeedRunners might cause tensions to run high during a family game night, it won’t be long before you’ll be playing it again. It’s that good.
8. Sonic Mania Plus
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds sonic mania](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/sonic-mania.jpg)
Developers: Christian Whitehead, HeadCannon, PagodaWest Games Publisher: SEGA
Despite not being developed by SEGA, Sonic Mania Plus is the best Sonic game in recent memory. If you ever felt like giving your children a lesson in how games used to be, stick them on Sonic Mania Plus. You might hear some complaints about the old style graphics or “the lack of a battle royale mode” (that’s what the kids like, right?), but they’ll come around in time.
A retro game from a modern studio, Sonic Mania Plus continues the same legacy built by the first four mainline Sonic games, so expect 2D platforming at its finest with no hint of Big The Cat in sight. Sonic Mania Plus is a stellar family game, offering retro thrills for the old folks while keeping things fresh for the younger generation.
7. Rocket League
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Rocket League](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Rocket-League-2.jpg)
Developer: Psyonix Publisher: Psyonix
This one might come with a bit of a caveat: Rocket League is a perfect game to play with your children, just be careful if you decide to play it online. The unholy fusion between football and cars that works in such a way that makes you wonder how it hasn’t been done before, Rocket League will satiate your child’s more competitive side.
With support for 4 players locally, Rocket League has enough replayability to remain a key fixture in any family game night, and Psyonix are still offering new modes and updates to all players. You can even take the game online with split screen support, but make sure to mute the voice chat and in-game chat. Things can get a little bit toxic.
It’s also now free!
6. Hasbro Family Fun Pack
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Hasbro Family Fun Pack](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hasbro.jpg)
Developer: Ubisoft Publisher: Ubisoft
Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit have been mainstays as the go-to choice for game nights for years now, and it’s easy to see why. Personally, me and my family were always partial to a game of Frustration, or Trouble as it’s known in America, but considering we don’t have digital versions of that game, we’ll have to make do.
Trivial Pursuit is the quiz show that doesn’t require you to apply to be on TV, and the digital version gives a new interactive element that refines the classic formula. Risk will let you live out your megalomaniacal fantasies, while Scrabble/Boggle (depending on UK or US release) will give anagram enthusiasts their fix. Meanwhile, Monopoly Plus allows you to instill the life lessons of Monopoly that life isn’t fair and you will probably lose all of your money without the threat of one of the kids flipping the table when they don’t win.
They’ll just put their controller through the TV instead.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Hasbro Family Fun Pack - Xbox One Standard Edition](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617-MpA8amL._SL75_.jpg)
5. Spyro Reignited Trilogy
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Spyro Reignited Trilogy](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Spyro.jpg)
Developer: Toys For Bob Publisher: Activision
We’ve already mentioned the difficulty of Crash Bandicoot, so if you’re looking for a remastered trilogy of platformers for your kids that won’t make them want to launch their expensive controllers at the wall, you’ll want to go for the Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
A collection of the first three games in the series, remastered to look absolutely beautiful on currently generation hardware, the Reignited Trilogy is a faithful recreation of the timeless classics. The wonderful and varied worlds, the constantly evolving gameplay and the slapstick humour make for a set of perfect family adventures.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Spyro Trilogy Reignited (Xbox One)](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51J1PvC-pHL._SL75_.jpg)
4. Overcooked/Overcooked 2
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Overcooked 2](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Overcooked-2.jpg)
Developer: Ghost Town Games Publisher: Team17
If you ever wanted to teach your children the value of teamwork and cooperation, Overcooked and Overcooked 2 are the games for you. Just be warned that you might pay the ultimate price in trying to teach your children that lesson, and they might even learn a few bits of colourful language in the process.
Up to four players take control of different chefs as they work to create specific meals in order to please a growing list of diners. While the game starts out simple enough (well, aside from the apocalyptic flash forward in the first game), players have to contend with environmental hazards and constant miscommunication that’ll push any close-knit group to their limits.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Overcooked! + Overcooked! 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Z4klpqEcL._SL75_.jpg)
3. Human: Fall Flat
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Human: Fall Flat](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Human-2.jpg)
Developer: No Brakes Games Publisher: Curve Digital
Another physics based title, Human: Fall Flat is for those that would rather work together rather than try to throw each other off ledges, though there’s still room for that too. A unique 3D platformer, Human: Fall Flat features a number of levels and puzzles, but gives you no real indication on how to solve them.
Oftentimes, there’s more than one way to finish a level, with players coming up with some truly creative ways to reach the end goal. With support for local multiplayer for two players, along with online multiplayer for 8 players, the whole family can work together to take on Human: Fall Flat’s challenges. Now that the Xbox One has also received some free levels on top of the base game, Human: Fall Flat is even more of a great deal.
2. Minecraft
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Minecraft](https://culturedvultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Minecraft-Underwater.jpg)
Developer: Mojang, 4J Studios Publisher: Mojang, Microsoft
What is there to say about Minecraft that hasn’t been said already? The worldwide phenomenon has probably already been installed on every available platform in your house already, and rightly so. Sometimes, there’s nothing better than spending a relaxing afternoon mining resources to build your giant volcano fortress.
Playable both online and via local splitscreen, Minecraft again allows the more creative minds to build their wildest fantasies, both in survival and creative mode, while the adventurous can explore and see everything that the world has to offer. With regular updates still being developed, there’s always reasons to come back to Minecraft.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Minecraft - Xbox One](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ljsOvIPdL._SL75_.jpg)
1. All The LEGO Games
Developer: TT Games Publisher: TT Games
We ended our Xbox One co-op games list with all of the LEGO games, so why not do the same here? TT Games seems to have their fingers in every single pie imaginable, as there are LEGO games based on so many different games. If your child is a fan of anything, there’s a good chance there’s a LEGO game about it, even if it’s just the tie-ins to the films.
Factoring in backwards compatibility and re-releases, there are LEGO games about Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, The Incredibles, Marvel, DC, Jurassic World and Indiana Jones. If your children are more creatively inclined, LEGO Worlds allows players to let their imaginations run wild. Essentially, there’s an article’s worth of games you could pick from here, so take your pick. They’re all bangers.

10 Best Educational Games for Xbox Series X / S
Games do not always have to be about having fun. It is also possible to learn a few things while you complete challenges, take out enemies, or win a competition.
For grown-ups, the lessons can come from the stories that are found in single-player campaigns. There have been many games that have had stories that not only make you think but also cause you to implement changes in your life for the better.
When it comes to kids, it is possible to have games that provide both enjoyment and education. Some games are designed with this in mind, where the challenges are created to challenge the intellect and teach new information.
Others are a bit more complex in the way they teach children. There are games that are designed to test the cognitive ability of the children and to make sure that they expand their horizons in terms of the way they think and behave.
Here, we have taken a look at such games and compiled a list of the 11 best educational games for Xbox Series X / S.

We begin our list with a game that almost every kid has played at some point. Roblox truly has been a global phenomenon, with the internet littered with memes about kids begging their parents for Robux.
Even though it may seem like something designed to get kids addicted, Roblox can be whatever you make it out to be. There are literally thousands of games within Roblox, and the games your kids end up playing will determine just how much information they glean from them.
Of course, a large percentage of the Roblox population just plays a variant of the first-person shooter. However, there are a lot of games that encourage kids to think. Some of them revolve around puzzles, while others are about building things in a creative manner.
Roblox also encourages kids to communicate with each other, and it can be a very social experience at times. Lastly, it is possible for kids to put their imagination to work and create their own games in Roblox. Overall, Roblox may just be the most educational game out there.

Insects was created back in 2017 as a way for Microsoft to show off the capabilities of its console. it was originally designed with game developers in mind. It demonstrated the graphical detail and the spatial audio that could be achieved on the then brand-new generation of Xbox consoles.
Now, it has been repurposed to be an educational game. To be clear, this is not really a game in the sense that there are challenges to complete. However, it does allow kids to walk around in a field, interact with various insects, and see how they behave.
As a lot of kids are not really interested in textbooks, Insects is a great way to acquaint them with the world of science. The demo can only be experienced for a few hours before it becomes boring and repetitive. However, it is completely free to download and play.

As the title suggests, this is a collection of games that are designed to be fun, engaging, and educational. All of the games have gone through testing to see if they can really teach the kids something new.
There are over 20 games in the pack, and each of them is appropriate for a certain age group. While there are games for kids as old as teenagers, we all know that these games are primarily designed for children much younger than that.
Most of the games are for kids between the ages of three and five. Some of them are based on simple concepts such as riding a bicycle. Others are a bit more complex and have logic-based puzzles that the kids need to solve.
PC Building Simulator

PC Building Simulator is all about building and repairing PC. This part can only teach your child so much. So unless you are planning on raising your kid to be the ultimate PC handyman, this game might not be such a good idea.
However, the single-player mode also revolves around running a PC building and repairing shop. This means that you need to handle customer orders and manage a business at the same time.
There is no reason for us to state the obvious, but this is a great skill for anyone to learn. The mechanics of the game are simple enough that anyone who is six years or older should be able to learn them with ease. As such, think of PC Building Simulator as a tool to teach your child the basics of a business.

Most of the titles on our list of the best educational games for Xbox Series X and S seem to be very self-explanatory. Bridge Constructor is no different. All that players need to do here is to build bridges that are both practical and well-constructed.
Sounds simple, but there is a lot of complexity here. Not only do players need to stay underneath the budget, but they also need to satisfy certain criteria. Think of it like a puzzle game that also has certain elements of resource management in the mix.
With 64 levels of varying difficulty, it will take your child quite a bit of time before he or she is done with Bridge Constructor.

Along with Roblox, Minecraft is the other game that kids seem to be crazy about. Just like Roblox, Minecraft allows for the freedom to experiment and do whatever you want.
On PC, Minecraft has a huge modding community with mods that change the way the game works. While the modding scene is not that big on Xbox, there are still endless possibilities whenever you fire up the game.
For kids, this allows their creativity to shine through. Even in something as basic as the survival mode, players need to ensure that they build defenses against the zombies and avoid all the natural elements that could harm them.
Lastly, remember that Minecraft is not a game that can only be enjoyed by kids. A lot of hardcore gamers also like what the game has to offer. What’s more, we think Minecraft is one of the best Xbox games for couples due to its cooperative nature.

Both of the Portal games in the main series have received critical acclaim for their well-designed levels, story, and general gameplay.
However, most agree that Portal 2 is the overall better game. This is mainly due to the additional mechanics introduced into the game and the higher visual fidelity. Regardless of which game you think is better, it is obvious that both of the games have a very high educational value.
Portal is a puzzle game where you have the ability to create portals and teleport from one place to the other. This will be very important for solving the puzzles, some of which are extremely difficult to complete.
We wouldn’t recommend Portal for extremely young children due to the difficulty of the game. However, this is a great game for kids in their pre and early teens to test and expand their cognitive abilities.

Jump, Step, Step is the next game on our list of the best Xbox educational games. At its core, it is a platformer with hilarious dialogue that any kid is sure to love. However, there is an added element of strategy to the game.
The player gets to control a robot called Bob. They need to guide him as he collects his limbs, rebuilds his spaceship, and tries to find out what happened to him. The twist is that Bob must be given a sequence of commands that he executes altogether.
What this means is that the player will not be controlling the robot directly. Instead, they will have to dish out a sequence of commands that gets Bob to the next checkpoint. This requires a lot of thinking and planning, valuable lessons for anyone to learn.

Kerbal Space Program is a great game to play regardless of your age. The game requires you to control the space program of a faraway race known as the Kerbals.
As you are in charge, you will be responsible for exploring the universe, setting up bases on other planets, and bringing new resources back home to advance your civilization. The tools at your disposal are quite small and shabby at the beginning, but you can upgrade them as you move outward.
Kerbal Space Program is a great game for teaching resource management, patience, and decision-making. A lot of times, players will need to sacrifice one part of their program for another or explore risk-reward options. Definitely, a great thing for kids to learn at an early age.
We would also recommend that grown-ups give the game a try. It is quite fun to play and was on our list of the best space games for Xbox .

Stardew Valley is the last game on our list of the best educational games for box Series X / S. Those who have played it will know that the game primarily revolves around farming in a small village. That is not the reason why we have included it on our list.
Instead, the reason Stardew Valley makes this list is because of its social aspect. The town is alive with characters of all sorts, and it is possible to have long and engaging conversations with them.
Considering how much wisdom there is to be found amongst some of the older characters, we think Stardew Valley is a great educational game. Of course, it will have an additional positive impact if you and your family live on a farm.

Games are a great way to keep kids entertained. It's an added bonus if they're educational.
Video games have come a long way from the Super Mario Bros. games of the '80s and '90s -- and I'm not just talking about graphics. Developers have gotten super creative at sneaking in educational lessons where kids would least expect them. And one of the best ways to learn is when you're having fun .
In addition, an ongoing study published in the medical journal JAMA Network Open says that kids who play video games daily show improved cognitive skills in comparison with kids who don't play at all.
Check out our list of mobile apps, PC and video games that can educate and entertain your kids.
What your kids will learn: creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, reading, math and more
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Minecraft characters on a mountain](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/7d3db55f723ea13a71f741d4f11dd0d2717c9d04/hub/2020/09/07/f72c0603-e451-4c93-892e-4522d756a9dd/minecraft-vr-ps4.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200)
Minecraft is available on multiple platforms.
World-building game Minecraft lets players explore, gather resources, craft tools and engage in some mild combat. The game has different modes -- survival, creative, adventure, spectator and multiplayer -- so players have flexibility in how they approach it.
Creative freedom and self-direction isn't all that the game lends its players, according to iD Tech . Minecraft teaches teamwork and the motivation to improve reading and math skills. To get better at the game, parents told iD Tech that their kids started reading about biomes and calculating rations for adventures, dividing supplies and how many minutes until "night" in the game. Minecraft's educational benefits have also been packaged for the classroom .
You can play the game on PC, mobile, console, Amazon Fire and Oculus.

The Oregon Trail
What your kids will learn: historical events, critical thinking, problem-solving skills and more
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Oregon Trail home screen](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/3f273608c84c1e43110460ffa38f6e79029daaa7/hub/2016/02/06/b68394e7-57d4-4f0b-a54a-b48b8d225d1c/oregon1.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200)
Are you tough enough to survive blizzards, disease and snake bites in the retro "Oregon Trail" game?
The Oregon Trail came onto the scene in the '70s and has gone through quite a few changes since then. My 10-year-old self spent many an afternoon trying to get my digital wagon 2,000 miles west to safety. Before you start the trip, you pick a job (each has its own unique benefits), name your companions and purchase supplies.
Recent updates to the game let you trade, upgrade your wagon and buy food and medicine to increase your group's chances of survival. Along the trip, your group encounters illness, obstructive rivers, highway bandits, food constraints and other complications of the time. Though the situations are a bit dramatic, players learn fast about pre-planning and making choices with the long term in mind.
I played (and described above) the 5th edition of the game, which you can order on Amazon. If you want a newer mobile experience, you can try The Oregon Trail: American Settler for iOS or The Oregon Trail from Gameloft on Apple Arcade .

Wordscapes is a fun brainteaser game
Fans of Words with Friends and Scrabble (the app or the board game) may be drawn to Wordscapes, which allows kids to learn new words and practice logic skills. You get unlimited tries to solve crossword-style puzzles using only a handful of letters (with few free hints). The app challenges you on some levels by prohibiting three-letter words and offering daily puzzles that challenge you to guess all the words in a certain order. Wordscapes has a built-in dictionary that makes it easy for kids to add to their vocabularies. You can play on Android and iOS .
The Little Big Planet series
What your kids will learn: logic, spatial orientation skills, design and problem solving
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Little Big Planet](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/bd20e3c63d8a1369801a1c06f503aca48b34c4b0/hub/2019/09/19/57e91fc4-c735-4690-82f6-d821f7033956/little-big-planet2.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200)
The Little Big Planet series.
This spunky little game follows the adventures of Sackboy and his friends. The first two games are mostly platform-jumping and avoiding obstacles to make it to the next level. Players can also create their own levels, customize characters or build complex contraptions in a level. Finally, players have the option to share their creations in the PlayStation Network.
The first game, Little Big Planet, was released in 2008 and the creators have released several entries since. Little Big Planet 3 is the newest installment , which introduced three new characters: Toggle, Swoop and Oddsock. The games are available on PSP, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3. You can also check out Little Big Planet Karting and the free Run Sackboy! Run app on Android and iOS .

Portal series
What your kids will learn: logic, problem-solving, physics, math, science and spatial skills
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Portal 2](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/d719c7dec3cd922fe2b667ee056925d54553513c/hub/2018/05/03/fe0fe6cd-f124-4e63-a459-5b84cbab5743/portal-2.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200)
Even though this mind-bending puzzle game has been out since 2012, it still feels fresh and inventive.
Portal is along the lines of Little Big Planet, but it's a bit more mature. The first Portal got a Teen rating for the inclusion of some bloodstains, but Portal 2 is rated E. The games might be a bit scary or difficult for players under 9 , Common Sense Media suggests.
Portal places players in a secret research facility who is led through a series of dangerous tests by a humorously narcissistic AI called GLaDOS. The puzzles are solved by creating an entry portal in a wall, creating an exit portal somewhere else and walking through. Players advance by learning how to manipulate physics and spatial constraints. Just try not to fall forever. Portal and Portal 2 are available on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Kerbal Space Program
What your kids will learn : physics, the solar system, mathematics and basic aerospace engineering
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Kerbal Space Program](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/84146d673d778a5d5a80558dfea17bc5956f41d6/hub/2017/06/01/7469e9b9-956f-4324-a0f0-2e9268e8146a/kerbal-space-program-take-two.png?auto=webp&width=1200)
Kerbal Space Program is a lot more than just cute aliens.
Your kids don't have to play in a cardboard box in the yard if they want to be an astronaut. This rocket simulation game focuses on a space program for an alien race called the Kerbals. When you start a game, you'll be tasked with building a rocket that either works or doesn't work, based on " realistic aerodynamic and orbital physics ." Once you get your Kerbals into space, you can explore the solar system, build bases and construct space stations. The game got a lot of attention from NASA and the B612 Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to planetary science and planetary defense.
The game has three modes -- Science, Career and Sandbox. Science mode lets players unlock new tech and advance the Kerbals; Career mode has players oversee every aspect of the Kerbal's space program; and Sandbox mode is more freeform play. Kerbal Space Program and its expansions -- Breaking Ground and Making History -- are available for PC and console.

![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Eloh gameplay](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/a65325d4e0ac5c1d2144d566d6abbe5dc479aff0/hub/2019/09/19/788e14f0-cd01-4bc0-896f-d8c3d0d3fc0c/eloh-gp2.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200)
Eloh is such an addicting, yet satisfying game.
This app is another example of teaching your kids without them knowing they're being taught. Eloh is a visually beautiful musical puzzle game that teases your brain without stressing you out. Each level features island spirits that you can move. Once you get them into the right spot, tap the red speaker and music will start. The goal is to bounce the "sound waves" off the spirits and hit the spiral icon. It's kind of like banking a shot in billiards.
The levels get progressively more challenging, but there's no timer, ads or in-app purchases. The app costs $3 to download on Android or iOS .
What your kids will learn: logic, patterns, data analysis and problem-solving skills
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Zoombinis](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/d68a782c41da54e5822989db62f581edf0daad5f/hub/2019/09/19/9e244b30-3ca7-4b52-9621-dae832ac45a5/zoombinis2.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200)
Zoombinis was a game I frequently played after school growing up.
If you grew up in the '90s, you might remember this game. Zoombinis kept me busy many an afternoon. In the game, you must guide the little blue critters out of the evil Bloats' clutches and home to Zoombiniville. Each of the 12 levels such as Allergic Cliffs, Stone Cold Caves and Pizza Pass get progressively more challenging, with kids using logic and pattern identification to win. Play on iOS , Android or PC.

Where on Google Earth is Carmen Sandiego?
What your kids will learn: geography, the locations of historic events and other geographical facts.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Camern Sandiego gameplay](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/1fa667e801278a3d1af24096baffd3cbabc02525/hub/2019/06/18/10eaa993-80da-4714-86ef-9507640558f7/carmen-sandiego.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200)
Carmen Sandiego is globe-trotting on Google Maps.
Google Earth and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Carmen Sandiego games -- The Crown Jewels Caper , The Tutankhamun's Mask Caper and The Keys to the Kremlin -- offer something new while paying homage to the original franchise. Players use the magnifying glass to interview witnesses in different cities and gather clues, learning about geography and history along the way. When you think you've figured out the next step, click the airplane icon to fly to the next city and continue unraveling the mystery. You can play on web browser , Android or iOS .
Nancy Drew Interactive Mysteries
What your kids will learn: historical events and important figures, critical thinking, foreign cultures, languages and customs, problem-solving skills and more
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Nancy Drew The Silent Spy](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/9cb86fd1d6abbf22cdf888dba36da0684c9ff6ad/hub/2019/11/28/44be7893-cc0a-484e-9ccb-843d94069c62/nancy-drew-the-silent-spy.png?auto=webp&width=1200)
The Nancy Drew interactive mystery series is probably my favorite game franchise of all time.
I will shamelessly say that I have played these games since they started making them in 1998 . Some are based on Nancy Drew books (The Secret of the Old Clock game, for instance, is based on the first four books in the series) while others are original mysteries.
The point-and-click games let you play as Nancy, solving a mystery as the amateur detective would. Whether you play as a junior or senior detective, you'll question suspects, solve puzzles, discover clues and find your way out of multiple sticky situations to catch the culprit.
The beauty of these games is that they teach kids without them knowing it. At 9 years old, I knew a ridiculous amount about the Mayan civilization after playing Secret of the Scarlet Hand, as well as the key players in the French Revolution after playing Treasure in the Royal Tower. There are 33 games to date for PC, mobile and certain gaming consoles.

Democracy series
What your kids will learn: multiple layers of government functions like parties, funding, taxes, elections, policy changes, political capital, budgets, debts and more. In addition, they'll learn about compromise, cause and effect, strategy and conflict resolution.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Democracy 3 game](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/23084ea9803db8a9d4a4fe07c3443612dd6f8422/hub/2021/10/28/a9556e17-d7e5-4bab-a42b-de0840954594/democracy-3.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200)
Can you run a country?
Has your kid ever wanted to be in politics? Now they can try their hand at it with the Democracy game series. In this government simulation game, you play as the president or prime minister of a democratic government and alter policies in the areas of tax, economy, welfare, foreign policy, transport, law and order and public services. The catch, like in real life, is that each policy affects other factors like voter happiness, crime rates and air quality, for example. Players also have to deal with situations like homelessness or protests and make decisions accordingly.
You can play Democracy, Democracy 2, Democracy 3 and Democracy 4 on PC.

Trivia fans, anyone?
The National Geographic Challenge is a quiz game that lives up to the "challenge" part of its name. There's no shortage of questions that range from easy to hard and are divided into regions -- North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and Australia. Start a game for up to four players and choose an avatar. You can try to answer 40, 60 or 80 of the game's timed questions. The games are complemented by impressive photography and video from the National Geographic archive.
The National Geographic Challenge will test kids' knowledge with questions like: In what year did Madagascar gain independence from France? In which country does the River Niger reach the sea? The game is available on Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3.

Educational Games for Kids Review
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Dave Ozzy](https://www.thexboxhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/dave-ozzy-txh-scaled-26x26.jpg)
I had big plans for how to review Educational Games for Kids on Xbox One. I was going to play each of the 21 games (51 variations – thank you, press materials) side by side with my five-year old daughter, and then we’d give dual reviews: me from the perspective of a parent and her as the target audience (the game is aimed at 3-18 year olds).
Now I understand why they say “don’t work with children or animals”, as she gave an identical review for each game of “I love it”. We’re going to have to work on her critical faculties. Of course, you could interpret it as a glowing review – if so, duck out and go buy now!
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Educational Games for Kids](https://i0.wp.com/www.thexboxhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Educational-Games-for-Kids-1.jpeg?resize=672%2C378&ssl=1)
As a family, we’ve found that the only games that have stuck with my five-year old on Xbox One are Lego The Incredibles and Skylanders . These are becoming comfort blankets and are barely educational, so we’re in the market for more enriching games. Unfortunately, as an ecosystem, the Xbox One is poorer at catering to early-years than any other system. PC, Switch, mobile and even the PS4, thanks to a smattering of VR titles, all better serve a younger player, and we’ve bounced off the Xbox’s limited colouring and jigsaw games.
So, when Educational Games for Kids cropped up, I jumped at the opportunity. My daughter looks at me with the Xbox controller and wants to play it more often, and now was her chance to do so.
The compendium presents itself very similarly to 51 Worldwide Games on the Switch, if you’ve ever had the chance to play it. A horizontal list of games can be rattled through, and a short, visual explanation of each is offered before you jump in and play. But while 51 Worldwide Games focuses on recreational games, Educational Games does what it says on the tin and looks to inform (although, in truth, a fair few games are more fun than educational, so it’s not as dry as you might assume).
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Educational Games for Kids Review](https://i0.wp.com/www.thexboxhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Educational-Games-for-Kids-2.jpeg?resize=672%2C378&ssl=1)
If you’ve ever gone on the hunt for educational games and apps for a younger child, particularly on mobile, then roughly half of the games will feel familiar – colouring books, memory games, dressing up, jigsaws and mazes are all present. These felt standard issue in terms of presentation, depth and quality, and my daughter quickly adapted to them, but I had the nagging feeling that they were available for free on other platforms. It’s not that they are bad – they’re just vanilla.
Where the game came into its own was with the other half of games: there were ten or so that tried something new and kept my daughter playing as a result. There’s a great little maths game based on Space Invaders, for example, with a number on your ship and sums on the invaders. Some unusual sorting games – ordering pictures according to shape, colour, sound and pattern – were favourites, and the game opens with three endless-runner style games that were dubiously educational but gave my daughter something to break up the edutainment.
It would have been easy to keep the packaging spartan, as most kids aren’t discerning, but Educational Games makes a few additions that go a long way. Most games can be dialled up and down in terms of difficulty, while others have options to finetune it even further. The games are clearly visualised and given age boundaries (my daughter wanted to tell you that the games were a little too easy, so feel free to brave some of the higher age games), which allows your child to navigate the games on their own. A universal star scoring system is a nice motivator (although there was sometimes confusion as my daughter didn’t feel that the final score corresponded to the one that tracks as you play).
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Educational Games for Kids Xbox](https://i0.wp.com/www.thexboxhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Educational-Games-for-Kids-3.jpeg?resize=672%2C378&ssl=1)
And the music. Oh, the music. I want to get in touch with the developer and get my hands on the game-end theme. We’re still humming along to this ear-worm as a household.
There are issues worth noting. The Xbox controller isn’t always perfect for little hands, and some games, like the jigsaws, demand an amount of precision that compounds the problem. It’s a shame, as other games make concessions to the controller. Highscores and achievements are motivating for little demons, but they vary wildly from exceptionally easy to near impossible for the age they’re aiming at. It might be a little concession to achievement hunters, and yes – you can get 700G or so within an hour, and 820G if you’re willing to use Wikipedia for the quiz sections. A few games also have rough edges, latency and imprecisions that cause a few headaches.
I’d also like to challenge the game’s assertion that this is aimed at 3-18 year olds. If you’re looking at buying this for anyone over the age of 12, I’d have second thoughts. There just isn’t enough content for them here: there is a smattering of quizzes, but the real sweet spot is 3-8. It’s no bad thing, as it means a wealth of content for that bracket, but it’ll be unsatisfying for anyone older.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Educational Games for Kids Xbox Review](https://i0.wp.com/www.thexboxhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Educational-Games-for-Kids-4.jpeg?resize=672%2C378&ssl=1)
Your appreciation for this collection will depend a lot on your circumstances. It’s priced high in comparison to other platforms (£10.74 on launch), particularly mobile, and the simplicity of tapping and swiping is probably more suitable for a child too. That might seem a dealbreaker, but this is a great gateway to getting your little’un on a controller, and that price could fall in future sales. Just keep it in mind when considering if this package is for you.
The collection could easily have been a scattering of shovelware, taking advantage of Xbox lovers who want to bring their kids in on the act. Heaven knows; there isn’t any competition. But while the presentation is a little bland and the price tag is north of the value it offers, Educational Games for Children on Xbox One has been made with real care. If your kids are anything like mine, they’ll love it.

Greetings and welcome to our in-depth guide of the best Xbox games for kids. Ever since the dawn of their creation, Xbox consoles have featured an extravagant library of videogames aimed at gamers of all ages. Whether it’s an AAA-budget action-adventure title or a charming, cozy indie farming simulator, Xbox games have something for everyone. In addition, if your young kids happen to stumble upon a violent game rated for adult audiences, you can activate the Xbox’s parental controls to protect them from being harmed mentally.
With that being said, it can be difficult for parents to decide which videogame is appropriate for their children as there are so many high-quality games to choose from. To help you make an informed decision, we at Windows Central have rounded up all the best Xbox games aimed at kids that are both family-friendly and enjoyable to play.
This list will also include titles meant for older kids. However, younger kids can still play as long as they receive adult supervision during their playthrough. With introductions out of the way, here is our list of the best Xbox kids games that you can buy right now for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Xbox Game Pass.
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds Minecraft](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/H7NW3PcUxvqbjmWoLytYp5-320-80.jpg)
When Minecraft was first released in 2011, no one could have predicted it would become one of the best-selling videogame franchises of all time. This survival adventure game captured the imagination of gamers across the globe by allowing them to play however they desired in a massive, procedurally-generated world.
You can journey into the wilderness and delve into the dangerous realm of the Nether to slay the Nether Dragon in survival mode. Or enjoy some relaxation in creative mode and build whatever you want, whether cities, statues, houses, mountains, farms, and much more. You can partake in both modes, solo or with your friends and family, as Minecraft features online multiplayer and cross-platform support across Xbox consoles, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
While the learning curve can be daunting for beginners, it is well worth the effort as the sheer amount of creativity you can get away with building structures is virtually limitless.

If you and your kids like the world of Minecraft but prefer combating its rogue’s gallery of villains and beasts instead of crafting, look no further than Minecraft Dungeons. This game is an action-RPG spin-off of Minecraft where you must save the world from being taken over by the evil Arch-Illager.

It has a beautiful 2D art style that replicates the 16-bit graphics of the Genesis, a cast of fun playable characters, each with unique playstyles, superbly designed platforming levels that reward speed and patience, and challenging boss fights that will test your mettle.

Understanding ESRB labels
![educational xbox one games for 5 year olds ESRB Rating Labels](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/6E4s9sBgikjKargQ7ZHdbG-320-80.jpg)
As you can see, there is a wide selection of games for all the family to enjoy on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X , and Xbox Series S . However. there is something important all parents should be aware of when purchasing games for their children – the ESRB labels. Created n September 16, 1997, by the Entertainment Software Rating Board organization, ESRB labels are part of an age rating system designed to help consumers determine what video games are age appropriate.
Depending on the content found within a game, there are five types of labels for different age groups:
- 'E' for Everyone : The ‘E’ label means the game is appropriate for everyone of all ages. The game’s content may contain scenes of minimal or mild cartoon or/and fantasy violence. It may also contain infrequent use of mild language.
- Everyone 10+ :The ‘E 10+’ label means the game is appropriate for everyone 10 years old and over. The game’s content may contain more instances of cartoon, fantasy, or mild violence. It may also contain mild language and/or minimal instances of suggestive themes.
- Teen : The ‘Teen’ label means the game is suitable for people aged 13 years and above. The game’s content may contain several instances of violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.
- Mature 17+ : The ‘Mature 17+’ label means the game is only suitable for people 17 years old and older. The game may contain intense scenes of violence, blood, and gore. It may also contain sexual content and frequent usage of strong language.
- Adults Only +18 : The ‘Adults Only +18’ label means the game is only suitable for adults aged 18 and up. The game may contain prolonged scenes of intense violence, blood, gore, sexual content, and/or gambling that requires using real-world currency.
There are two extra labels for games that have not been given an official age rating by the ESRB.
- Rating Pending : The ‘Rating Pending’ label means the game has not yet received its final ESRB rating. This label appears on advertisements, promotional, and marketing material related to a physical copy of the game (e.g., the box the game comes in) that is expected to carry an ESRB label. Once the game’s official ESRB label has been assigned and announced, this label will be removed and replaced.
- Rating Pending - Likely Mature 17+ : The ‘Rating Pending – Likely Mature 17+’ label means the game has not yet received its final ESRB rating but is likely expected to be rated Mature 17+. This label appears on advertisements, promotional, and marketing material related to a physical copy of the game (e.g., the box the game comes in) that is expected to carry an ESRB label. Once the game’s official ESRB label has been assigned and announced, this label will be removed and replaced.
