Fun and free games to play online

July 9, 2023 by Heather Step 5 Comments

Looking for some free online games as well as a chance to keep your brain ticking over? I’ve recently discovered a website that has a variety of fun, free and online games to choose from. Solitaire.org can keep you occupied on these chilly days and maybe give you a new skill too.

If you’re looking for a game to keep you busy this winter, you can crack out the board games or do video games. But if you’re looking for some free and fun online options, here they are!

Remember when computers first came out and everyone played Solitaire? This kind of reminds me of that, but this website also has a lot of other options too. I played a few games and took some screenshots. You can also have a turn to play too – it’s completely free.

free fun online games

Here are some of the games I tested on this site:

Solitaire

solitaire.org solitaire game

I enjoy this game. I’m used to playing it with actual cards, but it’s nice to see the digital cards stacked neatly. You can build your stacks of cards and attempt to get rid of the cards. There’s an undo option which I also used a lot plus you can also just start a new game.

There are also a load of other card games on the site.

Mahjong

This is a Chinese game with cubes that you have to pair off. There are different variations here, you can stick with the cubes:

Or do some cute animal matching:

This one is a super easy one suitable for the kiddies.

Match 3

I tried Zuma Ball which requires a bit of skill and aim to get three colour balls all in a row. You have to take into account the curvy line of balls moving so it takes a few times to get the hang of it. You shoot the ball from the bottom. But it’s fun. 🙂

Logic puzzles

Here you can try anything from Battleships to Crosswords to Soduku. I know my mom would love Soduku. The Battleships was fun because you have a realistic rocket exploding on your battleship.

Word

The one I really enjoyed was letter logic. It’s almost like a crossword but they give you the answers. So you just have to figure out where to put them.

I also tried Letter Scramble where they basically throw letters at you and you have to make words. I think this might be a nice one for my ESL students.

You can also do crosswords and wordsearches here.

So what was my favourite game? I liked the Letter Logic and Zuma Ball best. Not too difficult and fun!

What do you think? Give them a try and tell me which was your favourite. Go to Solitaire.org.

Where has the time gone? Nicky is going into Grade Where has the time gone? Nicky is going into Grade 7 this year.
How has your first day gone, moms?
Nicky had to walk quite a bit today, lots of cars at the school. But we managed to get all the stationery etc on time. 

Happy new school year! I started back on my exercise routine and feeling a lot better.

I'm super blessed because although I've lost a husband, I haven't lost his family. And Nicky had a fab time with all the cousins.

"Humbled" I asked Nicky how he felt after a week "Humbled"

I asked Nicky how he felt after a week of Mzanzi, the interprovincial chess tournament. Nicky played Board 1 for Eastern Cape A team. That meant that he faced the top players in his age category from all over the country.

He won 3 and lost 3 for the team section.

Tuesday was especially brutal. Three rounds in one day (9am, 2pm and 7pm). 

He was also not well. Sore throat and coughing. We went to the doctor on Wednesday, missed the team photos and continued on with the individual competition.

The individual one can take up to four hours. Nicky was doing about an average of three. 

He won 2 and drew 4. From a starting rank of 6 he ended up 17. 

"They don't make any mistakes" he said. 

Last night we watched Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise getting himself out of the submarine. I told Nicky that whatever difficult position he finds himself in, he can do it. 

He drew the last one.

I'm super proud of him and what he has endured this week. It hasn't been easy. He has tried his best. And, like all the other chess parents, I've sat there and waited. 

For me it's not about where he came. It's the joy of the game. While the team prize giving went on, we played in the arcade. After the individual game was done we played in the escape room. (We totally weren't able to escape but it was an experience)

Wherever this chess journey takes him, I will follow and support. And always help him find the joy. ♟️

Nicky was big enough to go on the break dancer this year and I watched him go twice! He also loved that pendulum swing one. 
For me, I still love the big wheel the best.

On thing I am thrilled about: they had candy floss this year! Getting Nicky some of that was so cool because we used to do that as a child.

So long, Playland, and thanks for the memories!

Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @y Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @your_motivationalcoach and @her_mindset_mentor /@millennial_mama_sa 

The company was good, the food was the delicious and the insights were flowing.

One thing I took away was this: you must feel enough in yourself before other people think you are. 

I also had fun starting a vision board and painting.

We also had a secret Santa swap and I was blown away by @nakita21 's amazing gift. She embellished a notebook, manicure set and cup with the themes of the workshop: dream, design and do.

No more excuses now for me with this powerhouse of inspiration behind me!

What a treat! I enjoyed my pedicure with @nailsssb What a treat! I enjoyed my pedicure with @nailsssbynella. Not only did she make me bold enough to go for gel, she also fixed a broken nail. It's a lovely space and very close to my house. 
Plus she gave me water and pretzels! And a little gift afterwards with a Loyalty card.

Self care is all it's cracked up to be.

Take some time to look after yourself. You need it.
