Do you have a budding, young doctor at home? Or maybe you are a teacher with a classroom full of potential scientists? Instead of turning to a normal video game after school, there are many websites that offer free online surgery games for kids.
Edheads.org - Edheads is a website that has won numerous awards for their educational content. Their games and activities meet state and national standards, and they partner with school systems on the design and content of their games. Students can perform virtual hip replacement, virtual knee replacement, and even create a line of stem cells. They have other non-medical related games as well, such as design a cell phone and simple machines.
Oyuncex.com - Known for their entertainment games, Oyncex offers many online educational games. Kids can perform many types of surgery, such as dental, stomach, leg, hip, knee, brain, and heart surgeries. Flashplayer runs all games, and there is no software to download.
Virtualsurgerygames.net - This site hosts many games and offers links to other sites with surgery games. You can choose from plastic surgery, knee replacement, and general dentistry games, just to name a few. The site also offers many other educational and entertainment based games.
Be certain to check the website and game prior to letting your child play. There are a few sites that offer rather gruesome images instead of more clean, cartoon images. These games are also for children who are slightly older. Many have a suggested age listed on the website.
