Racing games for kids

The game for anyone who always makes sure they get their five-a-day. Anything goes in this fruity Mario Kart-like set on a paradise archipelago made up of giant coconuts and other outsized fruits. It’s super-easy to pick up and play, but you’ll need keen eyes and good reflexes at the wheel if you’re to avoid traps left by your competitors, find handy shortcuts, and make the best use of speed boosts.

A great introduction to racing games for younger players, it’s immediately accessible. You’ll find all of your favourite lazy tabby’s friends here in the game – Jon, Odie, Nermal and Arlene – as well as collect sweets, fire heat-seeking pies, get speed boosts from lasagne (Garfield’s favourite food), and swap places with a magic wand. Just make sure you don’t fall asleep at the wheel, drive over a booby-trapped package, or get attacked by a fleet of flying saucers! The only racing game playable by kids aged 6–7.
