GCompris is a set of educational games of various kinds with which the children can learn how to do different tasks. The application includes all kinds of tests: intelligence, ability, reflexes, strategy, maths, science.
Some are very interesting if you want to initiate a kid into how to use a computer: a photograph made with paintings which will appear as you go over it with a mouse, some fish that disappear if you click on their bodies, etc.
But there are also more complicated games, like a submarine that you will have to submerge before it bumps into a ship: in a few seconds, you will have to direct the rudder, fill or empty the water tanks to optimize the burden and much more.
