I have submitted some volcano games to Primary Games Arena.  Click here to see a list of Flash Volcano Games that can be used in Primary School lessons and home.  I was hoping I could have a widget wrote today that would include all the games inline on this blog post but I keep getting distracted by people wanting to use my laptop to check their flights are still flying.

The games are here.
