www.pbskids.org/games/index.html

geography and related matters. You'll love it.

NASA Space Place

Edheads
An odd and entertaining website of games for older children. It teaches a variety
of science concepts in an accessible way. At first glance, some of the content
seems provocative (activities about car crashes; finding the plunger for the
bathroom), but they are intelligent and don't cross the line. (This is probably
what makes them entertaining for children.) An interesting site kids will use.
www.edheads.org
Checkers
The classic game of checkers. Play against the computer. This is not the flashiest
version of checkers on the web -- but it is free from advertisements, pop-ups, and
the lure of less wholesome games.
www.umass.edu/ednet/checkers.html
Chess.com
A great site to play chess and learn how to play chess. You can play against the
computer or play against another player. A vast site for children and adults
interested in chess.
