If you ask your kids how to play games on the computer, they can probably steer you to lots of Web sites you'd rather they not even see, much less loiter on to play games. That's why you should do your own research and find games to play with your kids on Yahoo. Your kids will be glad you took the time! Follow these steps to find out how to find them.

Tips & Warnings

You can get help finding and playing Yahoo games with your kids by using the "Feedback" option (see Resources below).
Some games that your kids will insist they can play might fall into the category of those that they shouldn't play. If you get a notice at the beginning of play that you must be 18 to play without an adult, think twice if your kids are preteens or younger. Situations and/or language could leave you both red in the face.
Keep in mind that Yahoo only guarantees the safety and security of your personal information against identity theft if you are actually on one of the Yahoo hosted properties. If you venture to a third party Web site (as indicated when you click on the link), you will be subject to the policies of that provider, not Yahoo.
Yahoo has a separate policy for the younger set. Yahoo will not ask children under 13 to participate in any surveys or giveaways without express permission from a parent or guardian.
