Even though school is out for the summer, that doesn’t mean that there can’t be some educational fun to keep kids’ minds active!  We found some fun educational sites that can really help your daughter get a head start for the coming school year.  Everyone loves a girl with brains!  We found a few sites that will not only teach her different subjects, but it will also entertain her as most of these sites involve playing educational computer games.  Our favorites were:

-   KidsKnowIt: Let’s just say we had fun, but we definitely channeled the feeling of being on the show, Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader? as we struggled over simple math and geography questions.    These questions definitely took us back to the elementary school days and made us appreciate how smart kids really are!  KidsKnowIt has several different topics that are school related as well as topics of interest to kids.  For example, they can play Astronomy games, Memory games and, of course, History, Math and all the other classic school subjects. 

-   BrainPop: Brain Pop mostly consists of school subject games, but it also has a Health category to teach your children about living a healthy lifestyle by eating right and exercising.

We hope that your kids have a great, fun summer, and that you have luck encouraging them to play some fun, educational computer games to keep their brains active! Let us know if they tried out KidsKnowIt and/or BrainPop! We bet they beat our scores… it might be time for us to go back to school!
