Where can I find some good on-line games/learning activities for my 4 year old son?

We Answered:

www.starfall.com is an excellent site for learning letters and beginning reading.

www.sesamestreet.org has tons of great learning games

Think of any show on educational television and put it in your search engine. It is likely to have a site with learning games.

also, Dr. Suess kindergarten is fairly inexpensive (about $20) and it has great games for both math and reading.

What websites have good learning games for children?

We Answered:

Try this site- http://www.mckellarkgn.sa.edu.au/activit…
It has links to other activity sites, (the Disney one is particularly good). My son loves it.

Do you know of any Japanese learning games?

We Answered:

You can try these games although I don't know how helpful they are:

I don't know if you're looking for Kana or Kanji but the games should cover the three types of writing.

I need Learning games for the work environment?

We Answered:

There's a flash game somewhere that walks the user through a pretty intricate knee joint replacement surgery. There are other similar games on the same site. It's probably not what you're looking for, but it may give you an idea of things you can do.

Adobe Flash is probably the easiest program you can use to design a learning game. If you're going to make your own, i would suggest looking into that first.

Can you recommend any activities (easy craft ideas, games, learning resources, lessons)for teaching preschool?

We Answered:

Here's one that I like:

and here's another one:
http://www.preschoolprintables.com/
and one more:

This one is part of preschooleducation.com but is Christian focused:

Are you going to be teaching a preschool class? Be careful about using too many pre-printed things. Preschoolers need to be creative most of the time. Nothing wrong with learning to color inside the lines, but they do need to just color, cut, and glue without working on a structured project sometimes, too!

Peggy Said:

What are some good learning games for kids 3-5?

We Answered:

Matching games and memory games are fun and beneficial to both a 3 year old and a 5 year old.

One of the little boys I sit for has a matching game, kind of like Bingo. It's four large sqaures with 9 smaller squares with pictures. Then, he flips over a card, looks at the picture, and matches it. You can get really creative with this game and make it a little more competitive, so it's not too difficult or frustrating for the three year old, but still exciting for the 5 year old.

The game "Memory" is a classic.


hope that helped! :-)
