If your child likes music, or simply does not feel like playing a game, this site features a great selection of learning songs that can still help your child learn important science concepts. Sing along as you learn that “the sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.” Or, groove along as we learn that “warm air funnels inward, upward, moving at increasing speeds” to create a hurricane.

This site also offers games on many other topics. Learn about important health topics like allergies, body parts, dental hygiene and how to stay fit. Play various spelling games, word searches, crosswords, and loads of matching games. Even let your young keyboarder challenge themselves by taking a typing speed test. Play math games such as Math Man – a game based on the game Pac Man, peruse A Maths Dictionary for Kids or play half a dozen other games as you click your way to better math skills. Learn everything from states and capitals to foreign geography in the Geography Games section, and when you are done, head over to the Science section for space and weather games.

Perhaps your child is a little young for math, science, and geography games. Don’t worry. LearningGamesForKids.com has no less than eighteen different games for your preschooler. From the alphabet, to colors, shapes, numbers and more your child will find engaging games tailored to their particular needs..

A few of the categories are disappointing in that they consist almost entirely of matching games, but on the whole, this site has lots of fun applications and musical clips that will have your child humming and clicking their way to academic excellence.
