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 »

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 »

What with the 2010 World Cup and all, do you know your flags?
This free online educational game right here tests your knowledge of the flags representing different countries. Teams from 32 countries will be playing soccer matches at this year’s 2010 Fifa World Cup in the host country, our very own South Africa. There are so many South African drivers driving around with South African flags attached to their cars in one way or another, showing their support and how excited they are about South Africa hosting the 2010 World Cup, that I’m sure any visitor to South Africa around now, and during the World Cup will never forget what the South African flag looks like, but how many flags of these visitors and soccer team players countries would you recognize (and know which flag belongs to which country?) It’s not only national … 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 »
