PBS KIDS Games
Games and videos from PBS KIDS programs, gathered in one browser destination.
The PBS KIDS games page draws on the network’s children’s shows. The current collection includes dress-up play, a dance party, a neighborhood-making activity and a character-led art show. Starting from a familiar show is an easy way in, and a game can lead on to drawing, dancing or conversation away from the screen.

Notes for parents
