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. 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!
Fraction Frenzy
Fraction
Frenzy is a fast paced puzzle type game to help your
child practice finding equivalent fractions.
It is on a timer and increases in difficulty as each
level is completed.
Geography Quiz
This
geography game starts by quizzing your child over
the U.S. state abbreviations. The next level
requires knowledge of state capitals, and to get through
level three your child needs to be able to figure
out where a state is located from clues given.
(Example: "What state is east of Utah and North
of New Mexico?")
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 0s, the second 1s 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. Older children
will enjoy trying to achieve a high score to get to
enter their initials.
