I'm planning to set up an old laptop with Linux for my 7 and 5 year olds, so I'm curious if you have any other software suggestions in addition to GCompris?

- icarito 8y agoThere's plenty! Try `childsplay`, `pysiogame` for collections of didactic activities. Other fun individual games are `raincat`, `colobot`. Try `rabbit escape` also. For fun (we let them play as prize) try `X-moto` and `SuperTuxkart` as well as `Supertux` platformer. We only let our kids play with libre games, so that we are able to adapt the games and learn how they are made, even reuse the assets. My kids are the same age 5 and 7.
- icarito 8y agoForgot to mention `pingus` is a lemmings-alike. Good for logic, also comes with a map editor which my kids like.
- zarkov99 8y agoTuxmath was great to practice mental math with my 5 and 8 year old.
- jcl 8y agoMaybe Sugarizer? Looks like the easiest Linux install is going to be as a Chrome web app: https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/master/README.md
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoThe Sugar version of Turtle (can't remember the exact name), TuxPaint (which is also part of GCompris, but runs separately). Edubuntu has some other ideas. Scratch of course, runs well in browser now.
