= Bones =

Bones is a quick guessing game that teaches players about anatomy. Bones are highlighted and players are given three choices for the bone. Choices must be made within a short time limit, however. This is a very educational game, but has moderate gameplay value. This game is geared towards 5th graders who are learning about anatomy. 4 out of 5.

= Letter Blocks =

Letter Blocks is based on the Tetris-style. Blocks with letters fall from the ceiling, but instead of making rows, you make words from the letters that fall. The letters, however, are almost always consonants, making you only able to spell words like 'mat' or 'sack'. The game is great for children who need a way to learn basic words, but has no fun value for someone who can spell 'cat'. 2 out of 5.

= Star Shot =

Star Shot is based on the 'sling the object' genre, similar to Hedgehog Launch. Sammy the Star, the protagonist, wants to go to the stars, but needs the aid of a slingshot and some consonants to reach his goal. Moving left and right, you use consonants in bubbles to propel yourself forward, while vowels slow you down. In between days, you can buy boosts and power-ups, but the game could do without them. Still fun, and helps young children quickly identify letters. 4 out of 5.

= Maths Multiplication =

One of the few educational games with multiplayer compatibility, Maths Multiplication pits two players on the same mathematics level against each other in a race. To move your animal ahead in the race players must quickly solve math problems. No names are given, and two players can be on the other side of the world. This is an excellent game for doing drills with other people anonymously, and has good gameplay value. 5 out of 5.

= Under Water Times Tables =

This is another underwater themed game (I know, right?) that teaches players about multiplication. The several levels allow players to choose there own times table, from two to eleven. Instead of simply stating the answer, however, players must find the solution imprinted on a school of fish that swim by. Quickness is key as fish swim fast across the screen. This is an entertaining game that teaches young students from elementary school times tables with an entertaining gameplay twist. 5 out of 5.

= Moontype 2 =

Moontype 2 is a great shooting game in the style of Missile Defense. Players defend the moon from incoming invaders by typing the letters that they are given. The enemy will shoot missiles of there own, however. Moontype 2 is great because, while other games are geared towards certain ages, this game can be played by anyone with any vocabulary level. Gameplay is made better by its incredible graphics for a small flash game. Explosions and missiles look great, and enemies really pop. 6 out of 5. Seriously.
