My Mother - a veteran primary school teacher - requested I compile a list of video games, which can be obtained by her students or their parents; which happen to be totally cool, and of course: engaging or educational in some fashion.

Located below are the games which I have verified as applicable to Ages 8 - 12, and therefore 3rd Grade primary school students, via the ESRB and App Store Rating commissions for both Android and iOS Devices.

The Table below, is categorized in Alphabetical order by Title, the Platform(s) the games are available on, and the games Rating.

The Titles all have hyperlinks to the games website or a Platform specific Store link which the game is available on.
