Best energy-burners

Speed StarTen seconds of flat-out waving — the giant speedometer tells them exactly how wild they went. Repeat until tired. Dino JumpReal jumps make the dinosaur jump. The couch potato cure. Rocket LaunchPump fuel by moving as hard as they can, then blast off — higher effort, higher rocket. Bubble PopPop bubbles with any body part. Works for one kid or the whole sibling herd at once. Stop & GoRed light, green light with a camera referee — sneaky movement loses a life! JuggleKeep the ball in the air with head, hands, knees — soccer practice disguised as a game.

Why parents like it

Screen time that moves: every game is controlled by real physical movement — sitting still literally doesn't work.
Zero setup: open the site, press Start, allow the camera. Clear a bit of floor and you're done.
Private by design: the camera feed is processed inside the browser and never leaves your device — nothing recorded, no accounts, no ads. Full privacy details.
Short rounds: most games are 60-second bursts — easy to fit before dinner, easy to stop.
Siblings welcome: games react to all motion in frame, so two kids can play at once (or compete for the best score).

How much space do you actually need?

Less than you would think. Every game here reads movement rather than tracking a skeleton, so it works with whatever the camera can see: a child sitting at the kitchen table waving both arms, a child standing two metres back using their whole body, or nothing but a hand held up in frame. Clear enough floor that nobody can knock a mug over and the setup is finished. A laptop on a table at chest height sees a standing child well; a tablet propped against a wall is better for a seated one.

Two or three children in frame at once is fine, and usually better. The games react to all the movement they can see, so siblings end up competing or co-operating without anyone having to wait their turn for a controller.

A rainy afternoon, in order

Burn the energy first. Ten minutes of Speed Star, Dino Jump and Rocket Launch — all short, all flat out, all impossible to do sitting down.
Then something with a score. Bubble Pop and Ninja Fruit keep them going once the novelty of jumping has worn off, because now there is a number to beat.
Then a two-player round. Tug of War and Ping Pong split the screen down the middle, so two children play at once off a single webcam.
Then wind down. The scenes below have no score and no timer, which is exactly the point at that hour.

Or let it run itself. Open the twenty-minute playlist and it plays exactly this order — three to burn the energy, three with a score, a round for two, then three calm ones — counting each game in and moving itself along, so nobody has to pick the next thing. The games rotate daily and today's run is printed on the card before you start.

Wind-down after

When the energy is burned, the calm scenes are the landing pad: Snow, Aquarium, Light Painting, Magic Garden, and Frost Wipe respond to gentle movement — perfect for the last five minutes before bed.
