Games and Activity Links

Teachers can access a range of online games that will be suitable for use with a range of ages and abilities. There are so many excellent games and interactive applets here to choose from. Take some time to go through what is available and add just two or three to a favourites folder to use with your class otherwise it will be too hard for your students to choose.

Parents can help children choose games that reinforce those things that are being taught at school.

Warning!! It is easy for children to start on a website and then navigate away to an unsafe place. Be sure to monitor your child while on the Internet.
