My oldest son, Collin, fancies himself a gamer. His interest in technology was clear from a early age and at almost-seven-years-old, he think he’s a total pro. In fact, when we went back to school shopping for clothing, the only shirt he wanted was a graphic t-shirt that read: Trust me. I’m a gamer. He introduces himself to new friends as Collin the gamer and then immediately asks them if they are also a gamer. Collin has interest in everything from gaming systems to photo/video equipment, and of course, his beloved Amazon Fire Tablet.
My little gamer loves experimenting with an trying new games. He has his classic favorites that remain in his rotation, but he’s never afraid to try something new. With the settings on our Fire Tablet, he has to come to me to download any new games. While I love to foster his excitement for technology, unfortunately I’ve had to turn him down many times because I just don’t want to fork over extra money for a game I’m not sure is something he’ll be keeping. But with Amazon Underground, I’m able to give him a little more freedom since we have access to over 3,000+ apps and games. With over 300+ premium education apps, Collin also gets to supplement his homework with what feel like games to him, but are actually new ways for him to be excited about learning through technology. And yes, he also gets to choose and enjoy other games that interest him like Zootopia, Sonic Dash, and Angry Birds.
Amazon Underground gives you all the same access to your trusty Amazon shopping, just with a cool upgrade that gives you access to all of their free games and apps. To download it, simply go here and follow the on-screen instructions. You’ll have to enable the unknown sources in your settings, but that’s just so that you’ll be able to download the apps through Amazon since most Androids default to GooglePlay. Once Amazon Underground is installed, just use the menu button to start browsing and downloading.
Collin loves exploring for new games and there’s not more whining about how much games cost. For me, it’s been a great reward system for him (and his siblings!) when he does well in school or at home with extra help. There’s no reward my little gamer dude loves more than trying out a new app.
