What are some sources for online games that children can play for free?

There are many portals where children can find free online games including educational resources, entertainment sites and toy manufacturer's sites. Some examples are the Star Wars, Lego and ABCya websites. They include a collection of games made by teachers for kindergarten through fifth grade students.

The Star Wars website gives fans of the movies new and classic games that are available in paid and free versions. It also includes free games designed for use with smart phones and an app. LEGO provides its own series of games about the Star Wars franchise, where children can reenact the episodes of the movies with LEGO figures replacing the normal characters.
