Free educational image to print into a poster
I created this image that is free to copy and paste and print out into a poster about 40cm x 60cm (A2) as a reminder of when I used to prop my eldest son Basti on my hip, when he was just a few months old, and stand in front of an educational poster on the wall. The poster had the numbers one to ten on it, and I would hold his hand in … Read entire article »

Cute little sing a long song and video to learn numbers
In this educational counting video, the word for each of the numbers one to ten appears next to the numeral of each eg 3 three, 4 four – and what’s particularly effective, I think, is that the words are written in small letters ie not 5 FIVE, but 5 five. I feel that kids should learn to write in small letters, not capitals, unless they’re specifically learning about capital letters. ONE DOES NOT WRITE IN ALL CAPS, IT’S LIKE ONE IS SHOUTING AND IT’S JUST NOT NICE! The tune for this little educational video is really catchy. It’s sweet. Little kids can learn to count to ten, and see the numbers before them at the same time, appearing, and disappearing when counting backwards. Yeah – learn … Read entire article »

Free educational games for little ones at Smart Tutor
Some of the free educational games are for not so little ones, including parents! I just tried out a free game or two, online at Smart Tutor, and they’re great fun, and cute too! At Smart Tutor, in the Game Zone that has free educational teaching games to play right there online, I tried out: Space Rocks, where I explored factors (and discovered that I’d forgotten what factors were!) but after a few rounds I picked it up again, and feel that Space Rocks is a very educational game that kids can play often, to help exercise the brain, help them with maths, and not end up like me forgetting what factors are! Catch a Fish, is the next free game I tried. I chose the “easy” game play option after having been … Read entire article »

Free online general knowledge game for trivia nuts
This sweet little free online educational game should help all those who struggle with those general knowledge questions at school, or elsewhere (or those that enjoy them!). It’s great fun for testing and improving your general knowledge. Even though the answers must be typed in, it’s an ideal and fun trivia game for moms and kids to do together, (or dads and kids, or brothers and sisters, or friends) – just both sit close to the computer, and yell out what you think the answer is. If your answers are different, don’t fight over who gets to quickly type in whichever answer the two or more of you decide on! Try and spend some fun and educational quality family time together. So if you’re a trivia nut, get your … Read entire article »

A free online game that exercises the brain and improves memory
This free online game here below is educational in that it’s easy for most to do, and at the same time helps improve your memory skills. One should exercise the brain as often as possible. Exercising the brain is like exercising any other part of the body. Now exercising the brain is not exactly physical exercise, and it does not mean shaking the head about. More often than not you would be sitting down to exercise your brain, to do some thinking, and this is fine as long as you do also get out and do some physical exercise from time to time too. Sometimes though, one does neither form of exercise, or is only into physical exercise (and can’t stand learning for exams etc!) Many computer … Read entire article »

Free online educational game that teaches how plants grow and reproduce
Came across this really educational online game where one can learn how plants grow and reproduce. It’s a free online game, and fun to play. This educational game shows how a plant grows better if its leaves can easily reach sunlight, if its roots grow well and absorb lots of nutrients from the soil, especially if those roots can reach down to dead bugs in the soil, from which the roots can get some extra nutrients. One clicks on little crosses (like a small plus sign) on the plant to grow roots, stems, leaves and flowers. One also makes seeds drop to the gound. This is with the wild plant version which I played. I totally sucked at it, and in the end (about ten minutes … Read entire article »
