Free Kids Games That Don’t Need WiFi, Data or Internet
24. Plants Vs. Zombies WITHOUT WiFi
Ages 14+
Okay Mom and Dad, by the name alone, Plants vs Zombies, you may already realize this game is violent. Basically, you grow the plants, pretty and colorful, but then (kind of crazy and weird) you harvest those plants to use as weapons to kill the Zombies. So, we're recommending this ONLY for kids 13+. Even though is wildly more fun and much more tame than Fortnite!
It's on the list because it's free, it's on several Best Of lists and technically a "kids" game. But please, if you're a parent that realizes the importance of monitoring your kids viewing, know that this game is all about shooting—even though the "guns" are plants and the killing is of Zombies. Yes, they see violence on TV and at the movies, but check out the next game on our list for a fun game without shooting and no violence. Or, if you've got teens or maybe want this game for yourself, we've provided the link below.

WHY PLAY GAMES THAT DON'T REQUIRE WIFI, DATA, OR INTERNET?
WiFi-free games are the best bet anytime but can be a LIFE-SAVER when you are traveling, whether it be on train, plane or car.
The trick is to download the games (or podcasts, for Mom and Dad) when you have a clear, strong internet signal at home. Then, when you are driving to your relatives in Tucson or 30,000 feet in the air - you've got access to games to keep the whole fam busy without needing the internet.
Games and Apps are Better when No WiFi is involved
There’s tons of controversy about the benefits children get from using interactive gaming applications and the flip side--harmful effects to a child’s developing brain, possibly caused by exposure to violence in games or other such undesirable virtual situations. More often than not, these concerns focus on how these smart device applications impact a child’s learning or mental health/ development. To identify where the EMF in your home is coming from, try this EMF meter.
Then there’s the EMF possibility
At Tech Wellness, we are also concerned with physiological health: WiFi and cell EMF exposure on little bodies. There are many studies that that show EMF radiation has biological effects. Without a doubt.
This is especially concerning when it comes to children and their developing bodies. The energy from devices penetrates deeper into their brains as a result. Click on our Research section for links to 100's of studies.
The good news is that radiation coming from the WiFi drops off dramatically with distance. Tech Wellness recommends keeping a minimum of 15 to 20 feet of distance between you and you and the router for safety.
That’s why we love our WiFi Switch you don’t need to get close to the wireless radiation from your router and it makes it easy power off anytime. Many parents have shared that they find their children sleep better when the WiFi’s off.
A happy fact is that all EMF exposures drop with distance from the source. YAY! That goes for the wireless radiation and for the magnetic energy waves, which is present with most electronic devices.
WiFi off means no wireless energy is coming from the WiFi.
Airplane mode means no WiFi or cell signal is coming from the phone, tablet or computer.
Bluetooth off means no Bluetooth energy is coming from or to the computer, cell phone or tablet.
