Puzzles and Gaming

One educational game that I found is very basic, and it is called First Grade Learning Games.  This app is great for first graders to use to practice their math and reading/vocabulary skills.  This game is great for ages 6-8.  It is great for students just starting first grade, but it is also useful for students that need to review or brush up on these subjects.  The recent reviews have given this app five stars, and say that their first grader loves it.  In my opinion, this is a great educational game.

Another game I found is called RedFish.  This game can be used for kids 3-7 years old, and it teaches them to count, read, spell, and even compose music.  On this game, there are more than 50 creative exercises that the kids can use to learn.  Most parents that have written reviews say that the game is wonderful and that they highly recommend it to others.  There are learning activities and open ended play on this game.

123 Color HD: Talking Coloring Book is a wonderful for pre school and kindergarteners.  There are many different pictures to choose from.  Children could choose to color animals, nature, pumpkins, people, pretty much whatever they want!  This is a great game to spark creativity.  Children have many choices of colors, and they have the freedom to color whatever color they want.  Parents have rated this game five stars.

This is such a great educational game called Haiku by PBS parents.  This is a game for kids to be able to describe a memorable moment they've had and learn about syllables.  I remember that whenever my teacher taught us haikus, I had such a hard time comprehending them.  I feel that if I had had this game when I was younger, I would have been able to understand Haikus more.  This is a great learning tool for kids learning poetry.

 

Point of View seems to always be a tough subject for students to understand.  This game called Point out the View allows kids to click on different people and see a room from their point of view.  Depending on where they are standing, the point of view changes.  The point of the game is for the player to show what each person sees from their point of view.  This game would have been so helpful for me when I was just learning point of view.  I think this is a great educational game that all parents should use.
