Discover Fun and Free Online Games at CulinarySchools.org

Jexx Hinggo 11:21 PM games , gaming 0 Comments

As a fan of online games, I recently stumbled upon a treasure trove of fun and educational games at CulinarySchools.org Kids Games. I had a blast exploring different games on this site and can’t wait to share my experiences with you!

WAFFLE: A Word Game Delight

The first game I tried was WAFFLE from the Word Games section. Imagine a word search game with letters arranged in a square, resembling a waffle. The goal is to spell out words you see within the grid. Each word you spell earns you points, making it not only fun but also a great way to test and expand your vocabulary. I found myself getting hooked, trying to find as many words as possible!

Watermelon Game: A Fruity Twist on Tetris

Next up was the Watermelon Game, which is like Tetris but with a fruity twist. Instead of blocks, you have fruits that merge when identical ones touch, growing bigger each time. When 11 fruits merge, they create a watermelon. It was a lot of fun, but I found myself wondering when the game would end since there’s no timer. Despite that, it was an enjoyable experience, and I moved on to explore other games.

Ice Cream Bar: A Fast-Paced Food Game

In the Food Games section, I played Ice Cream Bar. This game puts you in charge of an ice cream stand where customers come in with their orders. You have to create their desired ice cream using the available ingredients, and you have to be quick! The challenge is to make their orders fast, or they’ll leave, and you’ll lose points. It was thrilling and challenging, and I can see myself playing this with my nephews and nieces, especially those aged 10 and up.

The Amazing World of Gumball Water Sons: A Nostalgic Adventure

I also played The Amazing World of Gumball Water Sons. As a fan of the show, which I’ve been watching reruns of for years, I had to try this game immediately. The mechanics are simple: throw water bombs at targets to win points. You can play as Gumball or Darwin, and the animation is really cool. However, I encountered a challenge in the second round where I couldn’t move the water bombs because the game requires a mouse or keyboard. This makes it tricky to play on a tablet or phone, and I wish it were more mobile-friendly.

Idle Farming Business: A Relaxing Farming Experience

The last game I tried was Idle Farming Business. The design reminded me of Plants Vs Zombies, but the focus is purely on farming. You plant vegetables and harvest them, gradually expanding your farm. While it was fun at first, I found myself getting tired of the repetitive swiping and harvesting. I wasn’t sure when the game would end, but it was a relaxing experience overall.

Final Thoughts

This site offers a wide variety of games for kids and anyone who loves online games. The visuals and designs are impressive. As an adult, I’d love to see more games like run-and-gun, multiplayer, or level-based games. It would be amazing to see classic games like Contra, Battleship, Circus, Ice Climber, Popeye, and more.
