About these games
Our picks and what they practise
›
Car games are the classic first arcade games, and they are mostly about one thing: steering. Koala Kart does the accelerating for you so a five-year-old only has to steer; Chicken Crossing is about timing a chick's hops across the road, and the cars always stop and toot. None of them are long — a race is three laps, a crossing is one chick.
One of the games is a puzzle wearing a car costume: Unblock the Car, the sliding-block classic where cars only move the way they point.

What are good free car games for kids online?
Car Wash, Car Parking, Truck Driver and Little Tractor are all free on Tiny Players, made for ages 4 to 10. Scrub and rinse muddy cars, park in the right spot, drive a truck over the hills, or plow and sow the farm in a little tractor. They play in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with no sign-up, no chat, no pop-ups and nothing to buy.
Which car game is easiest for a five-year-old?
Koala Kart — it accelerates by itself and only asks the child to steer. Chicken Crossing is the next step.
Do they need a keyboard?
No. Every game has touch controls for tablets and phones; on a computer the arrow keys work too.
Is Unblock the Car hard?
It starts easy and adds more cars gradually — the sliding-block classic, no reading needed.
Is there anything to buy?
No. Every car game is free, with nothing to buy, no pop-ups, no sign-up and no chat.
