The best games for girls on Android are the ones girls keep choosing: pretend-play worlds like Toca Boca World and Avatar World, talking pets like My Talking Angela, dress-up games, and puzzles like Candy Crush Saga. None of them is only for girls, so let your child's interests lead.
Let's get one thing out of the way first. There's no such thing as a game only girls can enjoy, and plenty of the girls I know would happily give an afternoon to scoring goals or fighting dragons. This list is simply the games that girls download and talk about most.
I read the Google Play listing for each of these ten games and noted the developer, installs, the ads and in-app purchases labels, and any offline wording. I've grouped them by the kind of play rather than ranking them.
You'll see four families here: open pretend-play worlds, virtual pets, styling and dress-up, and puzzle or music games. Most children have a favourite family, and knowing which one helps you choose faster.

Ten games for girls, grouped by kind of play
Toca Boca World
An open-ended pretend-play world where children make up stories, design buildings and style outfits. Its listing says there are no rules, and it's one of only two games here that shows no Contains ads label, though it does have in-app purchases.
Avatar World ®
Another pretend-play world, this time with towns, cities and plenty of characters to move around and dress. Like Toca Boca World, it shows no Contains ads label but does have in-app purchases.
Kalliu Game World: Life Story
Joltrix's open world lets players create characters, design houses and explore. It's the only pretend-play world here whose listing says it plays offline, which makes it handy for journeys.
My Talking Angela
The original virtual pet game, with more than 1B installs. Players keep Angela happy with makeup, outfits, dancing and singing, and younger children usually love that she talks back.
My Talking Angela 2
The sequel moves Angela to a big city with more fashion and more activities. If a child already enjoys the first game, this is the natural next step, and both share the same ads and in-app purchases labels.
Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures
Budge Studios' game is packed with small activities: baking, cooking, dancing, makeovers, home design, nail and hair salons and pool parties. It suits children who like to hop between lots of short tasks.
Pocket Styler: Dress Up Game
A dress-up and styling game from Nordcurrent where you dress to impress other players. Because it involves other players, it's one to try together first with a younger child.
My Little Pony: Magic Princess
Gameloft's game is based on the My Little Pony TV show, with Twilight Sparkle and her friends. It's a gentle pick for fans of the series who'd love more time with familiar characters.
Candy Crush Saga
The match-three puzzle with more than 1B installs. Its listing says many levels support offline play, so it's a reliable one for a plane or a patchy signal.
Magic Tiles 3™ - Piano Game
A piano game where you tap tiles in time to songs. It has an offline mode on its listing and is rated Everyone 10+, the only game on this page that isn't rated plain Everyone.
Pretend play, pets, styling or puzzles
Pretend-play worlds like Kalliu Game World: Life Story have no goal to chase. Children invent their own stories, which is lovely for imaginative kids and less satisfying for ones who want to win something.
Talking-pet games are about care and routine. Styling games like Pocket Styler: Dress Up Game and Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures are about choices and making things look nice. Magic Tiles 3™ - Piano Game has clear levels and scores, so it suits girls who like a challenge.

Labels to read together before she plays
- Ads: eight of the ten show Contains ads. The other two don't.
- In-app purchases: all ten have them, so set a password for in-app purchases on the account she uses.
- Age rating: nine are rated Everyone and Magic Tiles 3™ - Piano Game is Everyone 10+.
- Other players: Pocket Styler: Dress Up Game involves dressing up against other players, so sit with a younger child the first time.
- Offline: three of the ten mention offline play.
A rating label tells you what's in the game, not whether it's right for your child. You know her best, so have a look at it yourself before it becomes part of the routine.
Keeping her favourites ready for car rides and screen time
If she uses a tablet, many of these play nicely on a bigger screen, and my list of free offline games for iPad and tablets has more that work without Wi-Fi.
Long drives are where offline games matter most, so for more ideas, including ones that need no screen at all, try these offline games for kids on a road trip.
And if a party is coming up, these Halloween party games for adults and kids get everyone off their phones and playing together, which is a nice balance.
Choosing with her, not for her
The quickest way to pick is to ask. Show her the table, read out the kinds of play and let her choose two to try. Children are far more likely to stick with a game they picked themselves, and you'll learn a lot about what she enjoys.
If she gets bored of one, that's fine. Delete it and try another family of games. A child who loves dressing Angela today might be obsessed with piano tiles a few weeks later, and that's half the fun.
