ABCya! - Interactive Educational Games

My kids have used Starfall for years.  It's one of the most simple & helpful reading websites we've found. I've just come across something comparable.




ABCya! is has what looks like hundreds of interactive educational games.  It's split into grade level & categories.  Here's the 2nd grade list.



Here's one game that helps kids with sequencing. It's a train track.  The object is to add the next block in the sequence in order to build the track for the train to go.  Finish one track and a new one appears.


My oldest daughter is still having a hard time with money.  What's more confusing than a dime being worth more than a penny and a nickle less than a dime?  This application gives kids a number of cents; (practicing my semicolon use - did I do it right?) they have to drag the right number of coins into the box and then check to see if they're right.

 

And what's more fun than Bingo?  Am I the only one who spells that word out every time I read it? ABCya! has a math Bingo game that's simple, but effective.  It times the player and for strategy purposes repeats several numbers on the same card, so you can decide which one you want to use to get Bingo as quickly as possible.


Follow ABCya! on Twitter, for the latest interactive games.
