All sorts of things are making a comeback right now while we’re stuck at home. Old hobbies, sewing, baking — you name it. Now, some of the most popular Google Doodles are making a comeback too.
The search giant has long used its homepage to share fun facts (like “on this day” history lessons) as well as mini games. For the next two weeks, Google plans to feature some of its most popular interactive Google Doodles. These fun (and sometimes educational) games are perfect boredom busters for parents and kids alike.
Which Google Doodles Will They Feature?
Google kicked off the throwback series on April 27 with the perfect mini game to teach kids the basics of coding. “Coding for Carrots” was originally launched in 2017 during Computer Science Education Week to celebrate the 50th anniversary of kids coding using Logo. Logo was the first-ever coding language specifically designed for kids to use. The game is super kid-friendly too.
The goal of “Coding for Carrots” is to guide a rabbit across a series of blocks, collecting carrots along the way. Users guide them by creating simple command combinations. It’s simple, but fun, and a great way of introducing kids to coding. If your kids enjoy it, check out Scratch, which is another programming language designed with kids in mind.
As for the rest of the featured Google Doodles? Only time will tell!

Based on their website, they’ll be rolling out one a day for 10 days total, perhaps in part because some of the mini games can be played in multiplayer mode.
How To Access the Featured Google Doodle
Every featured Google Doodle will appear on Google’s home page. Simply click on the “logo” above the search bar, learn about the featured game, and start playing.
Some of the games we’re hoping to see featured include the Google Doodle Cricket game, which originally launched to celebrate the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy. (Just be forewarned, it can be highly addictive… in other words, it’ll help you pass the time!) Other popular favorites that have a chance of being featured include Pac-Man, Rubik’s Cube, Pony Express, and the bingo-like Loteria game. But if your favorite past Google Doodle game isn’t featured? Have no fear. You and your kids can still access them through the Google Doodle archives.
