I tried out a couple of games and they all turned out to be good. The above screenshot is of a game called Dinosaur Eggs. It is a pretty fun game to play and above all kids love dinosaurs. In this game you have 2 or 4 piles of dinosaur eggs. You have to flip one egg from one pile and another one from another pile. Remember the pictures inside the ones that you just opened. Then open two more and see if you can match the images that you opened previously to the ones you opened now. Once two egg images are matched, they will disappear from the pile. You have to keep matching until all eggs are matched. You move on to the next level once all the eggs are matched.

That is flipping two cards at once and remembering the picture in the card you opened. Then you open two more cards and see if you can match any of the images. The matched cards would remain face up and would be hazed out. The game continues until you match all the cards.

I tried out a couple of games like find the pair, path memory, counting hearts memory, and sequence memory. I found all of them pretty good and engaging.
For example, I played the path memory game, a screenshot of the game can be seen above. In this game you will be shown a number of houses and then there will be a path displayed to connect them. The path will disappear after a few seconds. Now you have to retrace the path from your memory, by clicking on the houses in sequence. With each level the game gets difficult as the number of houses increase. Similarly in sequence memory, you will shown a sequence of numbers to remember. Then using the onscreen keypad you have to punch in the correct sequence of numbers to complete a level.
