Signup is required.  But completely free.

Be sure to go there every Christmas!  They let kids donate money to Coins For Causes by playing games and earning coins to donate to their choice of charity.



A fun puzzle game that lets you travel from island theme to island theme playing clue filled, challenging games is Poptropica.  Very cool.  But you have to log in to save progress.  Free!

and coming soon:  The Magic Tree House Books Red Dragon book will have an island where you can travel with Jack and Annie on an adventure!!  How cool is that??????!!!!!!!!!!



FreeRice is a site that allows you to grow your brain while helping others!  FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme. It has questions in vocabulary, grammar, art, math, language learning, chemistry and geography.  For every question you get right the site donates ten grains of rice to feed the hungry.  Some of the questions are easy enough for a third grader but even mom and dad can get in on the fun!  When you get a question wrong it gives you an easier question.  Get one right and the next question is a little more difficult.  You don't have to log in to play but can if you'd like to save your totals.
