My stepson will be coming to visit me for three days next week, and I’d like to get a folder of good websites put together for him so he can have something to do on the computer if he’d like. He’s not had much exposure to computers, so nothing too technical please, but I was thinking maybe some simple games, cartoon or comic stuff, TV shows, etc. I only see him once a year, so I don’t have a good grasp on his specific interests, I know he liked robots and pokeman last year. Anyone think they could give me some good ideas? ---

[www.homestarrunner.com](http://www.homestarrunner.com) Good clean family fun. Lots of cartoons and games. At least I think it would be entertaining to a 10 year old…it makes me laugh. ---

If I would allow it, my son would stay at [www.lego.com](http://www.lego.com) for days on end. He’s an 11-year-old, so I figure that’s a pretty good indicator that there’s plenty there to interest similarly-aged boys. ---

Lots of fun games at [http://www.addictinggames.com](http://www.addictinggames.com), but I don’t know if there are any unsuitable (violent, etc.) ones there. ---

My cousin was always a big fan of the games on [www.nickelodeon.com](http://www.nickelodeon.com) when he was 10. He’s 13 now - probably still into them.
