Young students will enjoy practicing their skills online at this fun site. Games are sorted by age groups: 3-6, 6-9, 9-12. Very young children can practice their mouse skills by drawing their own dinosaur park or building a personal fish tank.

Matching pictures to words and word finds are available for language arts. Kids who just want to have fun can choose from concentration type of memory games, mazes, puzzles, tic-tac-toe, and more.
