Virtual Worlds for kids are abundant online and more and more sites are launching every day. Whether your kids prefer puppies or penguins, chatting or games, there are sites to appeal to a wide variety of personalities. Parents should take the time to find a site that matches their budget, the interests of their children, and their overall safety concerns. These sites are appropriate for younger kids and pre-teens.


While there are basic online communities where children can exchange photos and videos and communicate at the same time, the virtual worlds that really appeal to children are those with 3D animation-powered characters and colorful explorable worlds.

So, how to create a successful virtual world for children??

Play and Learn

idea posted by Leena Pawar Tech Architect, IT Infotech

Kids are attracted to virtual worlds because it allows them to express themselves without fear or ridicule. Their avatar is the means by which they communicate and others need never know their real name or where they live. They should stay anonymous in order to enjoy a fun and safe online environment.

Play is completed on “islands” in Teen second Life. Each island has a theme that can range from educational to charitable. Many schools are experimenting with kids virtual worlds as a platform for communication. Non-profits use the virtual world to tell kids about their projects and get them to volunteer for causes.

For kids it is quite different. The sites have to be value based and they must be the type that are play and learn.

Children are easily susceptible to messages and so the sites should be carefully chosen.

Creativity

There are many games which helps children to think strategically and help in increase their creativity. There are many mission games which makes children to think like military strateger. There are many games makes them think like a leader, many games even help them to think like an entrepreneur. This kind of games helps them to increase their creative minds.

Actually i think the choice may vary from every child to other depending on his own likes/dislikes,imagination etc,.

But also todays children at young early age itself prefer to experience the grilling thrill games. We notice sometimes 20-25 year old playing the same game which is being played in the neighbourhood by a 5-6 year old kid. Its all young minds-21 century. But parents also need to keep an eye when it comes to social networking, chatting,. etc. 

Its good to provide kids high range games by the parents because i think somewhere it will help them to groom their(mind) thinking in a matured confidential manner. BUT DO BEWARE TOO MUCH OF ADDICTION MAY ALSO CREATE STRESS TO THE SWEET n SENSITIVE GROWING MINDS.

            In my opinion, it is better to make kids play in the real world with other children.Let them share, play and enjoy... like we all done in our childhood. Take them to parks,camps and outdoors, they will enjoy it.
