Even when they are away from a productive classroom environment, kids need something to harness a habit-forming exercise as they go through the demanding educational ladder. In this age where a wifi hotspot is everywhere, all that a smart kid needs is a computer.
With the sites that I have gathered below, education continues at the height of heat waves and summer fun. Always remember, however, that they need to be moderated to make their summer practice more appealing and motivating.
1. multiplication.com (features fun games to practice the facts of the child's choice)
2. spellingcity.com (use your past school lists or choose one of theirs)
3. funbrain.com (one of the most popular; find the link for their grade level)
4. fun4thebrain.com (includes entertaining Math Games)
5. math-drills.com (over 6000 free math worksheets with answer keys)
6. kidsgeo.com (State Capitals and other map games, Rock identification game)
7. kids.nationalgeographic.com (Awesome activities, games, videos, news stories)
8. pbskids.org/cyberchase/ (Math & problem-solving games, videos, printables)
9. kids.discovery.com/ (Science games, current events, videos)
10. bestedsites.com/museumlinks.html (Explore world famous museums without leaving home)
11. gamequarium.com/ (Tons of games for every topic)
12. coolmath.com (Tons of games, boards, jigsaws, and other strategy games)
Takeaway: It is important that the facilitator of this exercise (a parent, guardian, or a teacher) familiarizes a website before introducing it to the child for the first time. It maintains high expectations among the facilitator and the child.
