Three Educational Games Kids Will Love

Kids dislike homework in general, unless of course it's a project the teacher has made interesting. With most homes having computers and schools using a variety of devices, learning has gone digital. This has added costs to school budgets, but it has brought in versatility in teaching and learning. Sharing videos and images about things they are learning, gets easier and kids get more participative. Teachers can even assess kids digitally. Some teachers have gone on to create games for subjects they teach. Kids learn effectively through gaming.

Three educational games for kids:

1. Thinkrolls

This is a cute game. No holds barred cute game. Pre schoolers can explore physics in a wonderful way. One of the few games which has no instructions, kids have to creatively figure out how to go through the challenges. They need to complete levels and if they cannot figure out something and would like to restart, it's just a press of a button. 

2. School of Dragons

This whole game is set in a Viking world which is populated by characters from the How To Train Your Dragon movies. The main character Hiccup drives the sciency stuff. Kids get to the various features by gaming through quests. As they play they learn science via solving problems in this fictional world. The coolest thing about this game is hatching a dragon egg, training it and then flying around on its back!

3. Wizard School

This is for kids who like to create new media. The device's camera is key to the whole experience of recording and sharing messages with family and friends. There are interactive challenges to involve kids, especially the ones which have strong reading skills. At present this is one of the best interactive learning games, which uses a variety of media all of which is completely driven by kids. 

All three are wonderful games, but please make sure the kids are also involved in active play. Too much gaming is bad for kids, especially in the younger ages. They need to play in the real world for complete sensory development. When kids are cooped up inside because of weather, these are great options to keep them entertained.
