THE “FREE & Safe inforation and games for kids” Page IS UNDE

At AuXo For Kids, we believe play should be both fun and safe. That’s why we created the Free & Safe Games for Kids Index—a trusted, state-by-state guide to free online games hosted by government agencies, public libraries, museums, parks, and PBS.

Every game featured here is reviewed using AuXo’s safety-first standards, helping families enjoy screen time that supports learning, curiosity, and exploration—without unsafe ads, chats, or hidden costs.

North America is made up of many places with different landscapes, cultures, climates, and histories. To make learning easier and more meaningful for children, AuXo organizes the United States, Canada, and Mexico into learning-friendly regions.

Grouping places by region helps kids:

• Build map and geography skills
• Understand how nearby places are connected
• Compare climates, ecosystems, and cultures
• Learn history and traditions in context
• Explore one area at a time without feeling overwhelmed
• 
  

Each region page introduces the places within it and explains why that region matters, helping children move from simple facts to deeper understanding.
