How could you incorporate these into your class?
I feel that kids would enjoy the Sight Word Memory Cards game. My first grade daughter had fun playing the game! Great way for kids to practice sight words, spelling words, and vocabulary words. I have a Spelling City account & my students would always enjoy playing the many games associated with their weekly spelling words. I would highly recommend that teachers create a Spelling City account. Students can benefit from the word practice at school & at home!
ReplyDeleteI’m a huge fan of the National Geographic site! The colorful graphics immediately appeal to kids! I enjoyed playing the many memory games available. I tired the Fireworks Memory game at the medium level, and found it quite challenging, haha! I can think of many children who would absolutely love this challenge! The Plants Memory game would be a helpful way for children to enhance their knowledge about the planets. I like how the game cards show an image of the planet, and also have the name of the planet written at the bottom of the card.
The Caillou game is also an additional tool that some educators may find helpful. Many of the memory games that I explored, are definitely games that children would enjoy, while enhancing their cognitive ability to remember where certain items/images are located. Great activities for visual learners!
I am so glad you found them helpful. Glad your daughter benefited from this site.
ReplyDeleteLittle numbers memory flip would be great for my first graders who are working on number recognition. They also area addressing matching the number word to the correct numeral so this would be perfect. I could use it as an energizer before my number recognition lessons.

Hello world memory is also a cool one! My son loves social studies and is often pulled out of class for extra support in reading so he misses social studies. Social studies is his favorite subject so this would be a great thing for him to play on at home.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the Sight Word Memory Card game is a wonderful way for students to practice sight words. I still have a handful of students in second grade who need extra practice with their sight words, so I would use that game for them. I would also use the Possessive Nouns Card Flip as one of my grammar centers on the iPads in my classroom. I would then have students write 3 sentences using singular and plural possessive nouns correctly after playing the game.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the National Geographic photos are visually appealing. Students are sure to be engaged when playing these games. Many of these memory games align with Common Core Science standards. In my online game unit I used the game Desert Memory. In my classroom I would use this game to reinforce material learned about the plants and animals found in the desert habitat.

National Geographic games are amazing. I love that kids are learning but it is fun and engaging:)
Deleteall learning should be fun and engaging and as hands on as possible.
DeleteGlad you found these helpful. Kids love the computer and it is a great tool for learning. It is wonderful that there are so many educational games that keep kids interested and help them learn.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you found something that will help your son.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Simon Game and would incorporate that into my therapy sessions as a visual sequential memory sort of activity. A lot of kids like and know the game Simon and the fact that you can play it online without batteries is pretty cool. I also liked the National Geographic games. The Funny Fill-In story would help work on keyboarding and writing. Teaching kids to keyboard can be boring for them, so this can be a fun twist on that. Dolphin Diving was a fun game that I would use to work on finger isolation, bilateral hand coordination and visual motor skills. My son really liked Krill Smackdown on National Geographic as well and that would be used for visual motor skills. On PBSkids.com the Cailliou Memory Match game could be utilized to work on more visual sequential memory.
ReplyDeleteI just checked out the online Simon Game. I agree that many student's are familiar with the traditional Simon game, and would love the challenge of playing it online as well.
DeleteI always found that games work well to teach concepts. They are fun and can provide a challenge and a bit of competion.
DeleteI am glad that you found this helpful and what a bonus that your son found something that he enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI really like all of the games that are on the SpellingCity site. I have an account with my class and all of my weekly spelling lists are on this site. My class uses it weekly and really enjoy it. I think having the audio is a huge help to increase how words are pronounced. I liked the compound words game. I have not used that game before. The auditory part of the memory games is a great help to many students. I felt the number sequence game would be better if the sequences were read aloud and not just visually displayed on the screen. I would incorporate the spelling city games with my spelling lists that had the same skill, i.e. compound words. I think students would enjoy them and it could be beneficial for them in learning the words.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found this helpful and it is important for kids to know how to pronounce a word correctly. There is so much material out there it is hard to choose. I feel like a kid in the candy store trying to decide what material to present. It just takes time to sort through it all.
