Sports games on a screen come down to timing — stop the meter, tap on the beat, swing as the ball arrives — and that is what these games practise. Ball sports: Penalty Shootout, Air Hockey. Target sports: Bowling, Target Toss, Mini Golf.
Most are ten shots or one race — a minute or two — and Air Hockey has a two-player mode on one screen. The youngest can manage Penalty Shootout and Bowling; the timing sports suit seven and up.
