Kids 4-12 can learn the building blocks of art and creativity through this interactive website from Albright-Knox. They can learn about portraits, still-lifes, landscapes, color, and materials, as well as create their own works in the interactive studio. Lots of history is thrown into these games and will be used when we talk about our famous people of the world unit.

Stay afloat is similar to Hangman.
Choose a category. The site will show you a word. The player will guess a letter. If that letter is in the word, it will appear. If the letter is not in the word, one object is placed in the boat. The player must guess the words before all the objects are loaded and the boat sinks!
You and your child will have a good time working out words with contries, animals, and music!
