Kerbal Space Program is the best game for children or adults. This is a simple fact. There can be no dispute. Developed by Squad, a software company based in Mexico City and famous previously for pretty much nothing as they seem to have been spending day and night on this awesome magnum opus.
So with setup and mode pushed aside, when you, or your inquisitive child, with a brain all ready to soak up inspiration and creativity and gosh darn it even rocket science, you will initially see this screen for building your works of genius. This is the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and this is where your first mishaps will surely take place.
Note how easily the components simply stack together, like internet-age stickle bricks. This means that building a rocket - or what neither looks nor functions like any kind of space vehicle - easy and fun and hardly ever frustrating. While this game starts perfectly simply, the learning curve is steeper than the single-key gameplay may suggest.
On the launchpad, where the explosive magic happens.
Meet Jebediah Kerman. He knows no fear.
In space, no one can hear you scream in delight. As long as you didn't forget your staging, you will now be able to tap away at the space bar to your heart's delight until you see booms.
If you want to inspire creativity and a love for science or engineering in your child or yourself, or you are looking for a new challenge at the level of orbital mechanics, Kerbal Space Program is the choice for you. I recommend this game for anyone from 7 to 77, and for those younger or older, try Lego.
