Avoid the SUMMER BRAIN DRAIN!



The 7 Best Sites for Free Educational Games



1. Mr. Nussbaums - This site claims to be “A Thousand Sites in One,” and it does truly have a staggering array of educational content for kids. All the games are separated by subject, difficulty, and grade-level so you can find something that is just right for everyone.


2. Sheppard Software: This is another premium educational and kid-friendly site that offers hundreds of games, activities, and quizzes for free. There are games for language arts, math, science, and pretty much every other subject you can think of.

3.Arcademic Skill Builders: This site has some of the best math games on the internet for practicing skills like multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, and money. Most of the games are multiplayer, allowing kids to compete against their friends or other students around the world. The competition keeps kids really engaged and focused on improving.

4. Funbrain: I have been using this site in my classroom for a long time, and it has always been a favorite of kids and teachers alike. They have a math arcade, games for reading, brain teasers, and casual games. All their games are aligned to standards and designed with teachers and students in mind.



5. Gamequarium- “The site that swims with learning fun,” Gamequarium has amassed a truly immense collection of games and resources for kids and teachers. They have everything separated by level, subject, and activity type, but you may have to navigate through a few menus to find the game that is best for your child.



6. Math Game Time: An awesome collection of fun games for learning all types of math, organized by grade level and content strand. Math Game Time allows students to choose games from a wide selection of quality titles.



7. Word Game Time Just like Math Game Time, but this contains only language games. It is often hard to find good games for practicing spelling and grammar, but this site has a great assortment for many different English language concepts.
