Bambam is a simple baby keyboard masher application that locks the keyboard and mouse and instead displays bright colors, pictures, and sounds.

Note: for safety it is recommended to run the game in a dedicated login session, rather than as an application in your regular session, especially when leaving your child unattended with the game. Look for session type BamBam in your display manager login screen.

TuxTyping je vzdělávací hra s výukou psaní na stroji a hvězdou Tux, linuxovým tučňákem. Hráč se snaží provést Tuxe tak, aby snědl ryby, které padají shora z obrazovky. Každá ryba na sobě má určité písmeno. Jakmile hráč toto písmeno stiskne, Tux se přemístí tak šikovně, aby snědl onu rybu. Hra se snaží děti naučit psát na klávesnici. Mimo to, obsahuje i velmi obtížné úrovně, které zvládnou jen ti nejpokročilejší písaři.
