Childsplay
Childsplay Educational games
Open source educational games from schoolsplay.org
Childsplay is a suite of educational games for young children, like GCompris, but without the overkill of c/c++ and the gnome environ. Also the use of the SDL libraries makes smooth animation and the playing of sound very easy. Childsplay uses a plugin system for the games, so you might want to check the Childsplay plugins page. (There are two built-in games: memory and a typing game.)

TuxMath
TuxMath – Tux of Math Command
Open Source Arithmetic Tool for Children
In TuxMath a child becomes Tux (Tux is the name of a plump penguin being a Linux mascot) and protects other penguins from extraterrestrial dangers such as comets or meteorites. The game is based on solving simple mathematical tasks. Each mode of the game (there are several of them, from a single player mode to multiplayer head-to-head mode) is divided into a range of stages, each of them requiring a child to solve some other task. This allows us to adjust the game to the child’s skills and level as well as practice both some basic operations like adding, subtracting and those more advanced ones like multiplying or dividing. At the same time the game does not involve any violence against living creatures but only against some inanimate objects threatening the penguins’ life. Therefore, it can be recommended to any child, regardless of the age
