What type of online games should Kindergarten kids play?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Shape & Color Games<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the basic skills that kindergarteners need is color and shape recognition.\u00a0 Games like \u201c<\/span>Find the Shape<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201c<\/span>Color by Number<\/span><\/a>\u201d can help kids develop these basic skills.\u00a0 Plus there are a variety of color and shape games that allow kids to practice without realizing they are practicing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Letter Recognition Games<\/span><\/h3>\n

Learning both uppercase and lowercase letters is another essential skill for kindergarteners, though many enter school not knowing either.\u00a0 Games should work on basic recognition with fun elements to remove any stress and anxiety, like \u201c<\/span>I Spy Alphabet<\/span><\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 Sequencing the letters in alphabets is also important, and \u201c<\/span>Connect Alphabets<\/span><\/a>\u201d teaches this skill with dot-to-dot fun. Then they can move into writing letters with \u201c<\/span>Write Uppercase Letters<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201c<\/span>Write Lowercase Letters<\/span><\/a>\u201d with more dots and cool graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Number Games<\/span><\/h2>\n

Just like recognizing letters is important, number recognition also is a basic skill.\u00a0 \u201c<\/span>Spot the Number<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201c<\/span>Name the Number<\/span><\/a>\u201d give kids practice with those basic skills until they\u2019re ready to move onto more advanced skills.\u00a0 Skip counting games like \u201c<\/span>Count by 2<\/span><\/a>\u201d or \u201c<\/span>Skip Counting Trail<\/span><\/a>\u201d not only helps with navigating numbers, but develops skills kids will use with all numeric operations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Science Games<\/span><\/h2>\n

Any games that help to establish the way the world works for kids can really give them a great understanding and confidence as they move through their kindergarten year.\u00a0 \u201c<\/span>Plant Life Cycle<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201c<\/span>Seasons<\/span><\/a>\u201d can show kids the fun in science and open them up for more learning in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n
