My Experience with Barbie Games


My first memory of a Barbie doll dates back as early as my third birthday (I think.) It might have been my fourth now that I think about it. But regardless, I was young and the Barbies were my friends in a big way. Playing Barbie games with my two sisters is a pretty stand-out memory from my childhood, and when we played Barbie games, we all had different roles and items to our names.

My older sister got the horse and the convertible. It was a silver Corvette in those days. My younger sister got Skipper, the preteen Barbie doll and Ken, I believe. But I was the one who got the Barbie dream house. My Barbie house was large, had five rooms and an elevator. It was missing stairs, however. The dream house had a special place in my room, and when we moved, it moved with us.

I used to drag the house into the center of the room, pull out all of my Barbies and play happily for hours playing hostess at elaborate parties or getting Barbie ready for a hot date. I then had to borrow both Ken and his car from two different sisters to make this work, but usually Barbie was dressed so well, it was worth it.

Barbie Games and Magic


There is a lot of magic wrapped up in Barbie games. The toddler who gets her first Barbie or watches a Barbie movie for the first time gets wrapped up in the magic of fashion and even more powerful magic of creativity.

There truly is magic in imagination. Just think of all the things a girl can become when she’s not limited to certain costumes and outfits. Barbie games have always been good at creating a huge variety of costumes and dolls. I especially like the Barbie dolls that appear to be fairies, mermaids or the like.

The sheer magic of dressing up a doll is substantial, but the magical storylines of dressing up a mermaid and having her transform before your very eyes is pretty intense as well. The same is true for a fairy. Your regular Barbie might get in her pink car and go to work, but your fairy Barbie games are going to be more creative. In my mind, at least, the Barbie games that include some magic are also much more fun.

Barbie Games and Movies


There are many movies that seem to become Barbie dolls. I’m sure I could look it up and find the licensing agreements and such, but I’m not complaining. I like the idea of having a Barbie that is an exact replica of my favorite characters. The only complaint I might have about Barbies who appear to be characters is that they already have a built in story line.

For the girls without imaginations, they might think that the only way they can “play” with Gabriella, for example, would be to make her sing karaoke or put her in a high school musical. Barbie’s personality is wide open, but it would feel weird making Sandra D a mean girl or something when playing her character.

The guys are even worse. Ken is a total blank slate, but Barbie games with preformed Barbie men are challenging. Somehow, at least for me, it’s even more challenging to come up with a new personality or storyline for the guy in a movie than the girl. Although it could simple be that I need more practice. Maybe it’s time for some new Barbies.

Barbie Games Win – Hands Down


One thing that’s always amused me about Barbie is that her hands are permanently facing up. So even if she were in a contest with other girl games, Barbie wouldn’t win “hands down,” but I digress. I actually do think that Barbie stacks up rather nicely around the other girls games available. We’ve loved her for years and when she made the move the internet, we simply moved right along with her.


Barbie is one of the most iconic images known throughout the world. When she moved online, it was even easier than ever to enjoy the Barbie games and you could now play with your favorite doll without even getting out your dolls. Barbie games are around us all the time both online and off, and that is part of what makes them so powerful.


In the head-to-head competition between Barbie and Bratz games, I have to say that I still think Barbie comes out the classier player. Bratz games are cheated and ripped off- they have even proved it in court. The Bratz games are full of clothes I’m not sure I’d like my Barbie wearing. But I like the classy selection of gowns and other items that Barbie has available in her wardrobe.

Why You’ll Never Be Over Barbie Games


Barbies are about as classic as it gets for girl games, but when you play Barbie games online, you’re cementing your fate as a girl gamer. Barbie games have moved online and for years, we’ve been enjoying Barbie’s golden locks and stylish clothing options. Dress up Barbie online and share her with a friend or print her out for your own personal collection.

Barbie games have already lasted fifty years. There is no sign that the dolls will ever go away. Barbie is every girl’s best friend around the age of four or five when she begins her Barbie collection. Gifts and collectibles help the Barbie collection to grow and soon she has a full box or tote full of Barbie games. The games are truly classic and you can just as easily play Barbie games with your best friend as you would with your grandmother.

Barbie games seem to grow with us. Early Barbie games include gowns and princesses. Then we move into the favorite characters from movies we’ve enjoyed before completing the collection with the career oriented and imaginative Barbies. Finally, we reach a point where we head online to enjoy Barbie games.

Barbie Games Are Good for the Spirit


I’m a firm believer in the fact that playing games is good for the spirit. Barbie games are a great way to boost your mood, challenge your mind and enjoy your sense of adventure – all without even getting up from your chair. Start by exploring the internet to see what sorts of Barbie games are available online.

When you realize that there are flash Barbie games and dress up Barbie games, as well as many other kinds of virtual worlds and characters through the Barbie games concept, you’ll have more to do in a day than you might in a week playing traditional Barbie games. Personally, I believe having choices is good for the spirit and with hundreds, perhaps thousands of different game choices available, there is much to try online.

Not only is the sheer variety enough to pique your interest, there is also the fact that Barbie games are a bit challenging. They try your mind in relatively unusual ways. You get to dress up dolls in ways you might not have every tried before and suddenly you’re really working to get things exactly right. All of that work translates into a great deal of fun and a bit of reward when you finally get to enjoy your finished creation.

The Secret to Barbie Games

Barbie games are something even toddlers can play, and it would seem that there aren’t that many secrets to plastic and rubber dolls gallivanting around in designer clothing. But in fact, there are a few tricks to the trade when it comes to Barbie dolls and Barbie games.

The best Barbie games are online. The best Barbie games are found online. You might have fifteen or twenty different Barbie dolls, but you don’t really need them with so many great Barbie games available through the internet. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of different Barbie games you can play online and the more you play, the better the games become.

There are more fashion choices in online Barbie games. If you’re a bit tired of the clothing you already have for your Barbie doll, but don’t want to invest or create more clothing? You can find plenty of options online. Visit a Barbie games website and prepare to be amazed at how many clothing options and different styles there are. You can even find styles of clothing you might not normally see in a pretty pink package. Goth Barbie anyone?
