Should I report wages from an online app for playing mobile games?  The amount is 140.  I don't have a job at the moment,but I'm married to someone that has a fulltime job.

Yes.  When filing taxes, you need to report ALL income from ALL sources worldwide.

Thank you so much! Would I have to file that under miscellaneous or hobby income tax?

What kind of games are they?  If you are gambling, then you would enter it under gambling income even if it is online.

If it is just for playing video games, then you can enter it under hobby income.
