Lesson 7

You’ve gone on quite an adventure learning how to connect with people online. Now it’s time to take a break and enjoy some you time. It’s time for online games. These can range from puzzle and word games to three dimensional role playing games.

Some websites let you play online for free because they are being supported through advertising and will take breaks between rounds to show advertisements kind of like TV commercials. Others allow you to play a version of their games online for free and offer more fully featured versions for sale on their website. Then there are the websites that just charge outright for playing their games, usually with a trial period.

I really enjoy the variety of games at Big Fish Games. They offer free online games, downloadable trials of their games, and full featured games for purchase and download.
