Kids-friendly video games theaching real-world skills and concepts?


What video games can you recommend that teach kids skills and concepts applicable in the real world, such as maths, physics, economics etc.?

Those games do not have to be (and indeed better if they aren't) purposefully "educational" games, but rather fun games that happen to train a skill or concept applicable outside of the virtual universe.

Lately, I was introduced to Magnus Kingdom of Chess to make my 5yo girl learn how to play chess in a very fun and progressive way. Highly recommended !
