App stores like the Google Play Store and Amazon AppStore are full of mobile games specifically designed for kids, which are filled with in-app purchases, ads that could take children to websites parents are unaware of, malware, or worse. There even plenty of fake apps out there for Apple iPhones, Android phones, and pretty much all types of mobile devices.\u00a0<strong>But, there are games that you can trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Below you will find\u00a0<strong>five safe Android games and Android apps for kids<\/strong>\u00a0that have\u00a0<strong>no ads and no in-app purchases<\/strong>. You can also be sure the content will be suitable. They may not all be free, but they are generally very cheap, and you\u2019re paying for peace of mind: playing won\u2019t result in other apps being downloaded to your Android device without your permission, and there\u2019s no danger of your kids running up huge bills.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-related-articles-white\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-related-articles-white__title\">More from Softonic<\/p>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"How to set up parental controls on iPhone and Android \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-set-up-parental-controls-on-iphone-and-android\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/phone-icon-192.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>How to set up parental controls on iPhone and Android \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <a title=\"7 best apps for parents of babies and toddlers \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/7-best-apps-for-parents-of-babies-and-toddlers\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/toddler-baby-192.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>7 best apps for parents of babies and toddlers \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"How to set up parental controls for Netflix \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-set-up-parental-controls-for-netflix\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/netflix-192.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>How to set up parental controls for Netflix \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <a title=\"Instagram guide for parents \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/instagram-guide-for-parents\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Instagram-1-192.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>Instagram guide for parents \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/playworld-superheroes.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Playworld Superheroes<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/Kids-playworld-568x284.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A new game, Playworld Superheroes is a neat concept. You play as a child on a normal street, who makes a superhero costume out of things lying around the garden. You\u2019re then transported to another dimension called Playworld, to save it from evil attackers called Golumites. It really inspires creativity \u2013 kids are encouraged to design their own superhero costumes, right down to the hero\u2019s logo, and add to it over time too. The game looks great, with excellent 3D graphics, puzzler gameplay, and a full orchestral score. Playworld Superheroes has no ads and no in-app purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Suitable for 9-11 year olds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Playworld Superheroes\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-xl,f_auto\/p\/cf209316-9b33-11e6-8a48-00163ec9f5fa\/3010022784\/playworld-superheroes-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Playworld Superheroes<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playworld-superheroes.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download now<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--100\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"10\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">10<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playworld-superheroes.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/metamorphabet.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Metamorphabet<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/kids-metamorphabet-568x284.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Metamorphabet is a strange puzzle game\/experience which sees you work your way through the alphabet.

It\u2019s not cheap, but you get a great game that will last almost indefinitely. It has two main modes, Survival and Creative. In the former, you spend daytime mining and building so you can survive nighttime, which is full of monsters. In Creative mode, there\u2019s nothing dangerous, you can just play around and build fantastical constructions without any pressure. For the uninitiated, it\u2019s a little like a virtual world made of Lego, that you can play with. It\u2019s great for creative kids, but adults can also get totally lost in the game too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Minecraft - Pocket Edition\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-l,f_auto,dpr_auto\/p\/37e7c396-96da-11e6-8d9b-00163ed833e7\/3629024944\/minecraft-pocket-edition-246x0w.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Minecraft - Pocket Edition<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/minecraft-pocket-edition.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download and play now<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--80\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"80\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"8\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">8<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/minecraft-pocket-edition.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sago-Mini-Ocean-Swimmer\/dp\/B00ICNXQ26\/v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sago Mini Ocean Swimmer<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2015\/02\/kids-sago-mini-ocean-568x284.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Great for toddlers, around 2-4 years, this colorful game lets them explore a cute underwater world.
