Mexico for Kids
http://www.elbalero.gob.mx/index_esp.html
GRADE LEVEL: K-5

CONTENT:
This site is a complete guide to Mexico from the office of the president. It is written in French and Spanish as well as English. But more importantly, it is written in the universal language that kids can understand.

AESTHETICS:
The site includes bright, kid-friendly graphics throughout. Some of the games require the Shockwave plug-in.

ORGANIZATION:
Users can easily access the sections of the site through the navigation bar at the bottom of each page or the image map. The on-site search engine is great for finding resources easily.

REVIEW:
Mexico for Kids is a complete, multilingual resource for the study of our southern neighbor. El Balero, the guide, takes youngsters on a tour of the geography, history, and government of Mexico. El Balero invites students to ride the train, create their own stationery, or learn about quetzals from the town crier.
