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 vzdelávacia hra s výukou písania na stroji s linuxovým tučniakom Tux. Hráč sa snaží viesť Tuxa tak, aby zjedol ryby, ktoré padajú z hornej časti obrazovky. Každá ryba má na sebe nejaké písmeno. Akonáhle hráč toto písmeno stlačí, Tux sa premiestni tak, aby túto rybu zjedol. Cieľom hry je naučiť deti písať na klávesnici, ale obsahuje aj náročné úrovne, ktoré zvládnu len tí najpokročilejší pisári.
