Kid Friendly Alternatives to Popular Teen Games

September 7, 2019 | agudenburr

Does your child keep asking to play mature video games? Are you looking for better video game options? Here are some kid friendly games that are great alternatives to the popular T or M rated games.

Splatoon 2 [electronic resource (video game)]

Splatoon is a great alternative to first person shooter games like Call of Duty or Battlefield. Instead of bullets, players use paint in paintball matches. The goal is to cover the most ground in your team's color. 

Rated E10+ 

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate [electronic resource (videogame)]

Super Smash Bros is a great alternative to mature fighting games like Mortal Kombat or Dead or Alive. Players still fight each other but there is no blood and a "kill" is the opponent flying off the screen. 

Rated E10+
