These teacher selected sites offer interactive online games with the kindergartner in mind. Selected for their quality and ease of use, these games are sure to please kindergartners and provide practice in important literacy and math skills, as well.

Seussville offers a variety of online games for Kindergarten. Bright cheery graphics right out of the pages of your favorite Dr. Seuss book bring this site to life. Seussville gives young students the chance to practice skills online while providing familiar images and text. This site includes click and play games, story maker, quote maker, print activities, coloring pages and a host of information for teachers. I highly recommend this site for use in the classroom or as a resource for parents.

Funschool offers a host of games, but you will need to look through the games to find those suited for your kindergarten class. Several games listed as preschool games are suitable for early kindergarten and focus on identifying letters and numbers, counting and coloring.

Kindersite hosts a treasure of interactive online games for kindergarten children. Each listing includes the skills taught and the suggested age for the activity. Includes number and letter recognition, matching, coloring activities, making music and dressing games. This collection will keep your kids busy for weeks.

Arthur Games on PBS Kids provides a movie maker to challenge young artists, grocery games for identifying groups of foods, cafeteria game for choosing healthy foods and a gardening game to learn about going green. These may require some assistance, but are a great way to review lessons. Shown on a large screen, children can play these as whole class activities to reinforce class concepts.

Learning Planet provides a small selection of games for preschool and kindergarten. It includes a clock game where students place the numbers in the correct order on the clock face. This a great activity when introducing time and clocks to young children. Also included are counting, letter and number recognition and matching games. Graphics are excellent and the site is easy to use.

Online games appeal to young children and allow them to practice important skills while having fun. These sites provide bright and colorful graphics, lively music and a range of quality activities to meet the need of nearly any kindergarten student. With a few minutes of your time to bookmark online kindergarten games, your students can use the computer whenever you have a few extra minutes in the day. Use in learning centers or simply as a reward for hard work to keep kindergarten students motivated and involved in learning.
