Educational Online Games for Children

Free Educational Online Games for Children

What are some websites that host educational games that you use in your elementary class (some of your favorites)?

We use (and love): ABCya.com, RoomRecess.com, and HoodaMath.com a lot and just wanted to add some more options for my kids.

Thanks!

 

We do bbc typing dance mats

 

I love sheppardsoftware.com.

 

Yes, I have a link to sheppards as well, nice collections! Never thought of dance mats, I'll have to check that out.

 

Could you explain this?

 

I use starfall.com

 

They just added a reading skills game for Context Clues (I think it even grades the kids as they click)

 

My daughters's teacher send us to this site beestar. Exercises are short so DD is more willing to do the work and she likes the honor roll, ranking, award program very much.

I've not heard of beestar; I'll have to take a look. Thanks for sharing.

 

I ADORE Brainpop, just can't afford it, lol. I've used Starfall and Xtramath in the past, as well as Spelling City.

 

Pbskids.org

 

Who did? I'm not clear which website you are referencing.

 

Room Recess recently added games for reading skills: Context Clues, Cause & Effect, and Sequencing

Sorry,.. don't know why dance mats.

 

BrainPopJr is great, especially the quizzes after each lesson (I have my class "clap" when I hover over the correct answer, it gives them all a chance to answer).

 

Yes, I use brainpop in my class at least twice a week. My kids actually love to do the quizzes after each lesson! They say "awwwww" if we don't lol
