Scripture Union has launched ‘Guardians of Ancora’, a new game for children. The programme combines the exciting aspects of a game with biblical content and faith formation. The team of producers behind it were intent on creating something genuinely good, rather than a bad Christian knock-off. ‘Guardians’ is distributed via a free app. More details are available at GuardiansofAncora.com
Lara Croft: Tomb raider
The pony-tailed explorer reminds us of any child who insists on scrambling halfway up a wall or hanging off the bannister, midway through your quiet prayer time.
Call of Duty
We’re not entirely sure what this game is, but we’ve heard it’s very popular. The title makes it sound like someone is being nagged to wash up after coffee on a Sunday morning. We all know what that is like.
Tetris
Ever worked with a child who is found in the oddest of places, sandwiched in a cupboard between an easel and a play mat? That kid has clearly been playing far too much Tetris.
Fruit Ninja
If they start chopping up fruit like a maniac, first of all take away the knife, then suggest a mobile phone-detox.
