School is out and summer is here.
Kids don’t have to suffer from summer tedium, not when parents have
iPhones, iPads and iPods to help quell the boredom. Here are five free
fun apps that will keep kids playing,
learning and strategizing for hours at a time – whether on road trips,
plane rides or just sitting at home.
Okay scallywags, Pirate Rush by TabTale features
pirates, high seas adventure, romance, and of course, treasure. This is
TabTale’s first arcade and racing game, and kids will love it. The
object is to rescue Princess Annie, who was taken
by the pirate Bitter Bob. To rescue Princess Annie, you must first
collect each piece of a map, which was torn into five pieces by Bitter
Bob. Each piece helps you get closer to the princess' location.
Lego Lovers (and who isn't?) can build their own
Lego vehicles, whether it's a truck-copter, brick-up truck or carbio
van. It's simple and fun — drag and place Lego pieces to create your
vehicle. Gamers devise ways to bring the cargo to
the correct place and collect coins to earn more parts. Once you reach
your destination, drag and drop Lego pieces to create a structure to
complete the level.
SparkleFish is a hilarious audio story completion
game that will have your child laughing uncontrollably. In this
educational game, kids record creative words in their own voice for
playback inside surprising, ad-lib stories. They can save
their recordings and listen to them later. SparkleFish encourages
children to think more creatively, and is excellent for teachers and
speech therapists.
Kids use speed and accuracy to place sushi pieces
near the monster and make the target number. By correctly formulating an
equation, they feed the monster. To be successful, kids must plan ahead
and strategically select numbers from their
sushi counter. This app is engaging and appropriately challenging,
allowing children to practice, reinforce and extend math fact fluency.
To infinity and beyond! Toy Story takes kids on a
fun, interactive reading adventure packed with games, movie clips,
coloring pages, sing-along tunes, and surprises on every page. Children
can hear the story read aloud, record their own
narration or explore at their own pace. Kids turn pages manually and
move back and forth through the story as they choose.
