Free soccer games for kids
Six arcade games from Futbol Island, each built around one football idea. They are free, they run in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and there are no ads and no accounts.
Soccer is called football in most of the world. These games are part of Futbol Island, a free football learning game for kids aged 7 to 12.
The six games
These are the six machines of the arcade on Futbol Island, a football (soccer) learning game for children aged 7 to 12. Each one takes a well-known kind of game (pinball, snake, an endless runner, a swipe game, a puzzle game, a net game) and rebuilds it around something a young player needs: knowing your team at a glance, the order of the positions, beating a tackle, a soft first touch, reading a rebound, seeing a passing lane.
Every game opens straight from its page. They get harder the longer you play, and a run lasts a few minutes.
Kit RushSoccer swipe gameSwipe your team’s kit, leave theirs, dodge the whistle. It teaches recognising your team at a glance and scanning before you act.
