Travel-friendly games and activities for kids (1–10)
Duolingo
Duolingo is an app that’s widely enjoyed and studied around the world.
In the Japanese version, you can enjoy not only English, Korean, Chinese, and French, but also math and music, so it caters to children’s wide range of interests—and it seems like their academic skills could improve without them even realizing it while they play.
There’s also a family plan, so it could be fun for the whole family to try together.
It first asks about your current level, so you can study at a level that suits you.

Delicious match puzzle
You can combine food items to create different dishes, fulfill customers’ orders, and discover new recipes.
By progressing through the game while checking orders, it feels like you can become a kid who can do two things at once.
You can also look for missing parts to upgrade your kitchen and shop.
Unlike monotonous games, it’s nice that you can have fun while planning various things.
Among merge games, it’s quite complex, and despite that, you can still play at your own pace—another strong selling point.

Toon Blast
Let me introduce you to Toon Blast, a game that even kids new to gaming can enjoy.
The rules are very simple: tap when two or more blocks of the same color are connected.
Clearing lots of blocks creates items like bombs, and tapping those items clears many surrounding blocks, helping you move forward.
Beating tough stages can really boost kids’ confidence.
The game’s charm also lies in its bright, poppy colors and cute animal characters.
Give it a try together as a family!
Merge Survival
Here’s a game where you survive in a post-apocalyptic world thrown into chaos by environmental pollution and natural disasters.
Merge items to craft supplies for survival, and explore to discover new resources and hidden areas.
Its themes align with real-world social issues, and the ability to cooperate—or clash—with fellow survivors makes it a great pick for moral education.
I highly recommend playing it together as a parent and child.
