Educational Games Pbskids
I’m looking for websites for elementary grade level that has games, educational learning activities, etc.?
the children are burn out with pbskids.org. I prefer clean games, and educational websites or anything that can keep a kid entertain that in elementary level.
Also can you recommend some books and activity workbooks that I can get. Thank you.
I can only recommend from personal experience. The Learning Company made some good game (back in 1990 anyway) although I don’t believe they sell their own software now. You would have to go to a third party retailer. I would recommend anything from their Super Solvers series. A few I enjoyed are: Treasure Mountain:

Of course these are kind of old and may not run anymore. Or they might be too young for your kids. Wiki has a good list of educational game series.

And some sites have sections tailored to education games for children.
