Online Game Suggestions for a Preschooler?

[becka]

We just recently discovered the on-line games at nickjr.com and DS LOVES them - especially the Dora Bingo and Dora and Blues Clues matching games! He is just really starting to learn basic computer skills like how to click on the mouse and how to use the arrow buttons. I would love to find some more easy-to-play on-line games for him. Games that teach letters/numbers, etc.. would be great and would really reinforce what we are working with him on.

Any suggestions?

Not sites, but my kids love the Ready to Read with Pooh games and the Ready for Math with Pooh games. My son knew his letters and numbers at age 2 from playing those two games with his sister

I work in a school we pre-schoolers and we use www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies
Cbeebies is a bbc channel in the uk which shows lot's or pre-school programmes, some which might be familiar such as blues clues, teletubbies and tweenies, there are some simple games and lot's of print outs.

Phonics website--my daughter loves it.

Thomas the Tank Engine is great, although it can lead to a serious addiction!!

www.iknowthat.com is a great site for beginning Phonics. You'd have to do it with him, though.

www.gamegoo.com is excellent and very user friendly.

If you google pre school sites you'll get a ton!

I like some of the flash based games at sesamestreet.org. My son loves Elmo so I bookmarked these two links for direct access:

Explore Elmo's Classroom http://www.sesameworkshop.org/sesamestreet/games/flash.php?contentId=12529198&solution=school
