If you have kids you know how they get when you're on a long car trip, at grandma's house or they are just flat out bored. Thankfully your BlackBerry PlayBook can keep them entertained with the help of some great kids apps. Now, I'm not saying you should sit your kids down with your tablet for hours on end, but when the need arises, the PlayBook can distract them long enough to let you get yourself together and who knows, they may even learn a thing or two along the way.

Great kids apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook
Math Quiz - Educational games for kids
This one is pretty sweet. Not only is it fun for kids (for the most part) but they also get to learn a bit of math. Last year my son had to do some "computer game" time for part of his homework each week, and this is something that totally fit that bill. The game is designed for ages 7 and up and features multiple levels of difficulty, timed equations, background music and more. Just $0.99 in BlackBerry App World.

Hangman Kids
This one isn't for the PlayBook but I had to sneak it in - Hangman Kids is an awesome game. You get the fun of hangman in a game designed for kids between the ages of 3 and 8. It's pretty much standard hangman, but there are pictures provided to gives your kids help and also let them learn in the process. The lite version is free so you can try it out for nothing.
