Basic Banking Fundamentals Fun!
 "In a simple, straightforward manner, KidsBank.com explains everything from money taking the place of
bartering, to ATMs and online banking. Savings and checking accounts,
interest paid and earned, how each works and why they're used, are all
among the lessons learned. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the
story captured our interest and made learning about banking fun. My
young children weren't bogged down by the details and the adults
weren't bored with the simplicity."
|
Engaging Learning Games!
 "This site (Kbears) has every learning
discipline covered. They use graphics, talking cartoon characters, and
games that are fun for all ages to solidify concepts.
There are games
that will help eye-hand coordination, like Bee Swat, which is aimed at young children, and geography games
that are more suitable for older children. You can play together as a
family or individually, depending on your lesson goals for the day."
