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) Childsplay and the games are GNU-GPL licensed and are tested on GNU/Linux and the Windows platforms.
