Rats!
 Rats!
is a great game for practicing a variety of skills in
a fun way. The object of the game is help Rusty Rat catch
the good items in his basket. Middle learners can select
lower case/upper case letters, vowels/consonants, or nouns/verbs.
The advanced learners are given the choice of nouns/verbs,
common nouns/proper nouns, and adverbs/adjectives. The
skill selected is practiced until Rusty has been through
sixteen levels or until you get a game over. It is a game
that my kids ask to play even when it isn't school time.
I think you'll love Rats!
Detective Shell's Word Search
 Detective
Shell's Word Search is an interactive puzzle to play online.
There are numerous topics and two levels of difficulty.
The easy level has puzzles about number words, colors,
seasons, zoo animals, farm animals, and others. The harder
puzzles include winter, spring, George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln, reptiles/amphibians, mammals, birds, the heart,
and more. These puzzles are a fun, interactive way to
improve vocabulary and help with spelling as the child
has to circle each word. You may even enjoy them yourself!
Spacey Math
 A
fast paced arcade-style math game designed to make the
drill of practicing math facts more fun. It is divided
into addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
with each section being multi-level. The first level
is 0’s, the second 1’s and so on. The
children can enter their name to begin at the level they
leave off at next time. It gives them a bonus for
how quickly they can answer the questions, and gives a
score at the end of the level. The needed repetition
is provided with an upbeat tempo and a spaceship versus
aliens theme.
Mister Elephant's Memory Game
 Mister
Elephant's Memory Game is an updated interactive version
of the old concentration-style matching game that you
probably loved as a kid. It is a fun way to improve concentration,
work on matching shapes, numbers, letters, colors, and
patterns all while building your memory skills. This one
is for all ages and gets progressively harder as you go
through the levels. If your child is just now learning
his/her letters, numbers, or colors, it is a fun game
to play while he/she sits in your lap. Your child can
have fun learning letter names as you call out each card
as it is turned over. Even if he/she doesn't know the
letter names he/she may be able to see that they are the
same. Older children will enjoy trying to achieve a high
score to get to enter their initials.
