AnonyMouse_14268 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Depending on what type of game you want, our children LOVE the pop up pirate game and hungry frogs, but if you want something more structured they also enjoy; soundtracks, picture lotto, the shopping game and dominoes.

AnonyMouse_38752 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) yes sorry computer games glen If you could use LINUX at your setting, you can get hundreds of really good games for free (!). I really like a suite of educational games called GCompris. It has everything right from ~ 2year old's games to teach mouse control, it has sound and words for most languages and various levels of difficulties. I can't praise it highly enough. Have used it with my 2-5s and they loved it! x Poppy PS Have just found a version for MS as well: http://gcompris.net/-About-GCompris- Edited September 16, 2011 by Poppy33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The Gigglebies range is fab, lots of interactive games and Yellow Door produce some great simple games based on traditional stories such as Jack and the Beanstalk as well as having the capacity to just tell the the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
