First Homeschool Year Computer Games (PK-K)

For our first year homeschooling our 3 and 5 year old (2001-2002), we used these games most often (I’ll make a master list of our games when we get past the first year series and into the curriculum helpers series of posts – stay tuned…):

• Lego Games (Lego Racer, Lego Chess, Lego Loco, etc. – Lego makes a TOP rate product)
• Reader Rabbit (Preschool, Sparkle Star Rescue, Kindergarten, Spanish, Spelling… etc.)
• Jump Start (Phonics, Kindergarten, First Grade… etc.)
• Dollarville (AWESOME money game)
• Mavis Beacon Typing (AWESOME typing tutor – buy a Speedskin to go with it – an ingenious little keyboard cover made of thin rubbery plastic that causes you not to be able to cheat by looking at the keys – makes learning so much faster!)
• Pooh Preschool
• Busy Town (Richard Scarry rocks!)
• Clifford Software
• Elmo’s Reading Adventure
• Crayola Coloring Book Software (we had two different versions of this)
• Jar Jar’s Journey
• Star Wars Math (EXCELLENT graphics)
• Blues Clues (great with the little girls)
• Max on the Moon (Funny and cute – very different)
• Sleeping Beauty
