Do you have a girl who loves to play dress up? Is she totally in to fashion right now? Are you tired of cleaning up after she has her runway show? Then you need to look into introducing her to some dress up games.

Dress Up Games Online

Dress up games websites are available with just the click of a mouse. The good thing about these websites is that they allow your child to express their creativity by putting together fashionable looks. These sites have different types of games for all different age groups. Some allow the user to choose details such as hair color, hair style and even eye color.

This will lead to hours of fun as your daughter scans through the different accessories and clothing items in order to create the perfect look. After she creates her ideal look, then maybe she can go shopping to try to find it in order to add it to her closet. Dress up games can also be a good way to compromise with a pre-teen when deciding on clothing that she would like to wear and what her mother would rather wear.

Room Decoration Games

Like the dress up games, there are also games available for room decoration. This will allow her to design the room of her dreams and, just maybe, help her pitch her idea to her mom and dad. These games allow her to choose color, set up, bedding and even fixtures; the possibilities are endless. As with dress up games, this could also be a great idea for the two of you to put together a look for her room that you both can live with.

With the internet in hand, there are so many good ways for your child to express her individuality. If anything, she might be able to use some of the programs to see just how silly she would look with blue hair if she decides she may want to dye it one day.

Improve Your Chess Game Online

I’m easily distracted. This characteristic is both a blessing and a curse; it urges me to discover new hobbies and interests, but I can rarely stay entertained for more than a couple months. Last year I decided to teach myself chess.

To be perfectly honest, my motivation came in the form of a cute boy whose hobby was playing chess online. I decided to impress him by learning the rules and engaging in tournaments online. Before long, I was having such a wonderful, challenging time uncovering the art of chess, that I forgot all about the boy who inspired me to learn.

The beauty of playing chess online is that most sites enable you to play multiple games with players from all over the world. On average I participated in about 15 games at once. While that sounds overwhelmingly complicated, it is actually essential in order to ensure a steady flow of action.

The site I used to play chess online gave each player 24 hours to make a move; this was very convenient, as it allowed me to move at my own pace. Another interesting aspect of the site was that it felt like a social networking site. The players befriended each other, participated in online forums (sometimes relating to chess, but most often not,) and formed relationships during games. The chat function, while usually a fun part of playing, could be disabled at will.

Playing chess online is a great way to strengthen the strategy of your game. Because anyone in the world can participate, you will be revealed to an enormous audience of chess enthusiasts. Although I’ve moved on from chess to sewing to tennis, when I did play chess online, though I won 4 out of 81 games, I had a blast.
