Online Number Games

I have been searching the web for games to play with Thomas to help him learn his numbers. He can count – except for poor number five – but he doesn’t have a sign to go with it, yet.

http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/preschool/ngames/numbers.htm Has great numbers games. It goes along with a flash card type of learning. The first shows a picture of how many items you need to look for along with the number itself. The next page says “which picture has “1” duck? There will be three pictures to choose from and one will have one duck in it. I will let Thomas play this game tomorrow – for me it is ridiculously easy.

http://www.cookie.com/kids/games/learn-numbers.html This site has an easy matching game. If you have the volume on it tells you which number to click on. It also says which number at the top of the page where you can also click

http://pbskids.org/games/numbers.html Has 17 different number games. They’re all a little bit more then what my son can handle right now, but I added it to the list for the future, and not everyone’s child is going to be where mine is. So Check them out and see if you wouldn’t mind your child playing them. I might just let Thomas try to figure them out on his own, usually he doesn’t do too bad of a job when it comes to things like this.

I know some people don’t believe that you can learn while playing games on the computer, but I think you can. It’s certainly not a way to replace teaching our children and using good old fashioned techniques, but if you can trick them into thinking they’re just playing games while they’re actually practicing something then you’re ahead of the game.

Happy Gaming
