Shark games for kids
For a young child, start with the Pinkfong Baby Shark app or the Pressman Shark Bite board game. Hungry Shark is free and famous, and its store rating is not a toddler rating. Read the label on the store page before you install.
What “for kids” means here
Age labels come from the named store rather than a site-created age recommendation. The US App Store currently labels Pinkfong Baby Shark 4+ and Hungry Shark Evolution and World 13+; those labels can differ by region. Pinkfong Baby Shark: Kid Games, from The Pinkfong Company, is the app built around the children’s song. It is free with in-app purchases on Android and iOS. The Pressman Shark Bite board game (2017) is a physical toy: a plastic shark, a fishing line, and the old “don’t wake the shark” tension. It is not a video game, which is why parents searching the phrase still need the distinction.
Sharks and Minnows is a playground tag game, not software. One group are sharks, the rest are minnows, and the minnows try to cross. No download exists because there is nothing to download. Pages that sell an app under that name are selling something else.
Browser games and what to skip
Shark.io on Poki is free and needs no install. It is a cartoon arena where sharks eat swimmers and ram each other. Poki’s kids catalog is a separate, ad-free shelf; Shark.io itself sits on the main, ad-supported site. Hungry Shark Evolution shows a large download count and in-app coin and gem purchases, so a child can spend money if the store account allows it. Turn purchases off in the device settings. I do not host APK files.
FAQ
Is there a Baby Shark video game?
Yes. Pinkfong publishes Baby Shark: Kid Games on the App Store and Google Play. It is separate from Hungry Shark and from Shark.io.
Is Shark.io appropriate for a young child?
It is a cartoon eating contest with ads on the main Poki site. Use a parent account and read Poki’s own kids information before you decide.
