Once downloaded, kids have access to several different free games, each requiring various movements and skillsets. Instead of sitting on the couch to play, kids must run, jump, stretch, wave, duck, and bend to complete the game. Child development experts have designed the games to ensure that the movements performed are safe for growing bodies while still providing plenty of healthy exercise. Games are kept short, lasting only a few minutes to maximize attention and technique development. Players can play on their own or with a friend. They can also control both the music and sounds within the game by accessing the toggle buttons under settings. By creating a GoNoodle Games account, parents can give access to a leaderboard for accumulated points scoring. They can also purchase one of the available GoNoodle Games party packs for extra games, powerups (which protect players from danger and help earn bonus points), and the ability to play in party mode. GoNoodle Games has a subsidiary app, GoNoodle, that features various videos and printables designed to get kids moving in a fun, safe way.
GoNoodle Games is free to download and a selection of the games are also free. Party packs can be bought via in-app purchases, each costing USD4.99.
GoNoodle Games is a recommended app. It is designed to promote active screen time by getting kids moving while playing video games instead of sitting on the couch. The app contains in-app purchases, but various roadblocks make it more challenging for a child to buy anything without parental approval. Even so, we advise parents to disable in-app purchases on their child's device. For detailed instructions on how to do this, please see the 'How to' section below. GoNoodle Games is both COPPA and GDPR compliant and does not collect any identifiable information. The images that are visible during gameplay are not recorded or stored.
Because GoNoodle Games is lots of fun to play, it might be tempting to try to unlock one of the GoNoodle Games party packs through in-app purchases. Remember that these extra packs are paid for with real money, so it's important for you to check with your parents before buying anything online. In the meantime, keep moving by playing one of the free games available!
Your GoNoodle Games app is super fun and great to keep you active while you're enjoying playing video games. Remember, even though you're up and moving instead of sitting on the couch while you play, you're still using a screen. It is important to follow your family's tech rules and balance screen time with other activities. Don't forget to ask your parents if you can help them with anything, arrange to catch up with a friend, or pick up a good book!
