How about just talking as much time as possible? Books are always boring, especially ebooks. Games can not be creative, except of maybe sport activities. Just go somewhere outdoors and who knows maybe you will manage to buy some good books or maybe you will manage to find some street games to explore. Walking and talking about the right things is the very source of our culture, Pythagoreans used to educate themselves in this way. If you are just going to throw at her the device which is got to be charged with all the best links you will find here - it won't work, those devices are made in such a way to make the user to be used nowadays.

Your comment is so weird and tone-deaf. Someone asks for game recommendations and you tut tut at them for it. If you don't have anything constructive to contribute to the conversation, why comment at all? > How about just talking as much time as possible? If OPs seven year old is anything like mine, this is the default. Getting them to stop talking to you is the trick. Sounds selfish and shitty right? But nobody can talk to a seven year old all day every day while on vacation. "Why don't you just talk for 12 hours a day for an entire week straight?" Ridiculous. And it's worth noting that the cat is out of the bag by 7: they know video games exist and want to use them. Because so many of them are low quality, parents may have to seek recommendations like this thread.

  Consider this as a game advice but not a technological game. > they know video games exist and want to use them. Because so many of them are low quality, parents may have to seek recommendations like this thread. But also they know that a not-advised-by-parents games do exists as well and they are pretty easy to reach on the same device which can run every link or ebook from this topic. Tiktok/insta/whatever will magnetize them and this addictive bond has to be considered.

    OP didn't necessarily specify digital games. There are physical creative/STEM games that they can buy online from a link.

      That's unleash a discussion on whether electrical engineering toys (usually they are like Arduino but more childish) fits to a girl or girls are better to be kind of social-oriented persons. Personally my take is that it is perfectly OK to learn electronics for 7 y.o. girl but no game can unleash child's interest in any topic. Science spreading must be similar to religion spreading. There are neither Christian/Muslim/whatever games nor books but new believers are keep appearing. Please observe/research their attitude, religious adepts of every religion are very interesting subject of learning. It's interesting to observe how controvert is my root comment based on rate change, now it has a low rate but when the topic was new it used to be appreciated.
