- How online animal games influence children -
Among the many online games children can play are pet games. Children love pets anyway, so to play with them in another medium is just as fascinating and enjoyable for them. Kids love playing pet games for several reasons:

• Kids are motivated to play pet games due to their instinctive love for animals. If a child loves pets or misses having one at home, he can enter an online world and play out his love for pets by playing online pet games.
• The game scenarios are known to kids—usually they are a pet care center and revolve around the needs of a pet.
• Kids who enjoy dress up a pet or wishing he could have one are factors that influence kids to play these games online, and so contribute to the popularity of this genre of online games.
• These games are very simple to play—all kids need do is to use the arrow keys to move up and down, left and right.
• Pet games have simple story lines such as a day at the pet center, fetching the stick to its owner, etc.
• The pets that play the roles of the major characters in these games are another draw for kids. Perhaps, kids are naturally drawn to dogs or cats. If this is so, they will choose games featuring dogs or cats and fulfill their desires.
Several forms of pet games affect children in different ways. There are puzzle games involving animals, pet dress up games and veterinarian games just to mention a few. In pet puzzle games for example, an image of an animal is shown to children and they are then scrambled to be put together again by the player. Dress up games simply offers a number of clothing options for children to dress up their pet. In veterinarian games, the players actually run a clinic, where they have to attend to sick animals as they come through the door. In all instances, players are required to make an effort, either by making choices, activating their short term memory, and learning a little bit about customer service.
