Educational Game Sites

Here are some of the online educational game sites. This is something I haven't utilized this year, but I need to. They have to know how to navigate a computer and it's a good way for me to have a few minutes to breath and get organized for the next project of the day. The girls' have an old desktop, it's just an old retired computer that can serve this purpose. All it has on it are links to these sites, a few educational programs from lakeshore and a fisherprice education keyboard game. I wish they still made games for the keyboard, the girls spend the most time with it and the games are now $40+ on amazon and ebay :(

 
Everyone always talks about it. Tamarin likes it, but it doesn't keep her attention for very long and she rarely finishes one entire book. She tends to wander around the site.



Very busy website. I had it bookmarked since last year, but hadn't spent much time on it. The girls spend more of their time on PBSkids. I might try to reintroduce this site soon.



My favorite! Mostly for the fact it's entertaining, educational, simple for them to navigate, and has TONS of games.



A few I just learned about that are free:


This looks promising. I'm going to explore it this week. I'll let you know if it's any good.




Looks like there is a free and a paying version of this. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.



Ones you have to pay for that I have no experience with, but have heard good things:





Owned by jumpstart (which I think everyone has heard of they have a TON of books/cds/video games you name it, they make it) I didn't care for their material in the past, but the website looks interesting. I may try it in the winter when there is less outside time. It's $9 for a month, you get access to mathblaster and jumpstart. Review to come if I try it!
