What better place to start than the good free Sesame Street online games?
There are two great sites to find them at, and if you have kids (or are a kid), they will love them. These games primarily are for ages 1-7 years. At the upper end of that range, kids start tiring of these characters, to move on to the likes of Arthur, princesses, Superman and Spiderman. For this opening article on this site, I thought I'd go for the old standby Sesame Street. 
The first great site for Sesame Street online games is the Sesame Workshop website. As you might expect, that's the site with everything you ever wanted on Sesame Street, and more. Be sure to have your computer's sound turned on, to hear the familiar Sesame Street tune greeting you. The site is indexed based on character. Click on the character you want to play their games, from Bert Games to Elmo Games to Cookie Monster Games to Oscar-the-Grouch games to Zoe Games ... you get the idea!
Let's use the Cookie Monster games as an example. Click on Cookie Monster at the bottom of the screen and you are taken to Cookie Monster's world. His games are in the scroll window. You also have the options of clicking on stories, art and mail. When done with Cookie Monster, you can click on any of the other characters and go to their pages.
Another great site for Sesame Street online games is the PBS Kids site. This site has a more limited offering. Click on the character you want and go to their games. One favorite is Baby Bear painting.
There also is Noggin.com for Sesame Street games online. First you enter your name on the opening screen, or of course your child's name. Then you click through to the animated menu. Six click icons are on the right side of the screen for the six Sesame Street games offered. Some of them I found pretty engaging. The Bert's Pigeon Patter game can be addicting. The pigeon sounds also can be kind of creepy to humorous for an adult, but probably not for kids. After all Noggin is a kids game site.
