| The kid's deserve a break. They've been hard at it all day long. There's a half hour, maybe an hour, to fill at the end of a long day. Or maybe some students finish early what you've assigned for them to do. What're you gonna do? Big question, right?.... OK, so check out these educational games and puzzles sites where learning is fun--and educational! These sites are recommended by Judy Gardner and Nicole Volk, teacher members of the EDTECH listserv. Quite a few of these websites are designed for younger children, but you may still find items that are useful for older children, such as crossword puzzle makers and so forth): |
