What's a good website to help my elementary student learn without realizing it?

Question

Is there a website that my elementary student can play engaging games to keep their mind active while still working on their academics and encouraging them to grow important skills they need to succeed in school?

Answer 1

Sometimes for indoor recess, my students beg to play Prodigy, Boddle, or Dreamscape! There are gamified platforms that have an academic basis. They have no idea they are learning!

Answer 2

Zearn has a wonderful math program filled with games and activities that truly expand learning! Highly recommend it.

Answer 3

One of my favorite ways to practice math and English skills is by using "Quizlet" it makes learning fun and you can make a flashcard game of it!

Answer 4

IXL.com is a good interactive website that helps students in elementary and middle school develop their valuable Math and English skills through hands-on game playing at all different levels.

Answer 5

One of my favorite websites to use with young learners online is Arcademics.com. This is a free website that features interactive minigames centered on academic topics, thus the name Arcade + Academics = "Arcademics".

It allows you to filter by grade level from 1-6, or by subject and choose from a variety of topics. Students can play solo against computers, play with other students around the world, or log into private games with passwords they create to play with friends and family in real time! This website is totally safe for kids even though it allows interaction with people globally, as there are no chat rooms, and usernames are censored for age appropriate content.

As a tutor, I love setting up private chat rooms with my students and use the passwords as a chance to practice spelling difficult words. They can't enter the game unless they spell the password correctly!

This website has been a wonderful tool for me and I will definitely continue to use it for my elementary aged, and special education students!
