Quick tips

Help your child and family get the most out of playing video games by remembering these top tips.

Check PEGI ratings

PEGI ratings help you choose games appropriate for your child. Check the age rating along with in-game content by using the PEGI search engine.

Encourage variety

Try to encourage your child to play new games to help them explore more points of view and skills. Playing together is a great way to do this.

Limit screen time

Use parental controls or timers to set limits for how long your child plays a game. Encourage regular movement breaks away from screens and device light.

Support family time with video games

We all know about Fortnite, FIFA, Minecraft and Roblox. These popular video games offer children ways to connect and socialise with friends.

However, beyond these popular titles there is a diverse range of games to support balanced screen time. Solve a mystery, go on an adventure, face difficult decisions, inhabit another world or even spend a day in someone else’s shoes!
