Sequence Snake: purplemash

Sequence snake is a nice and gentle sequence building game. Speed and difficulty grow at a sensible pace, going from sequences incrementing in 1s to larger increments. The speed has a great effect of training prompt responses.

Bond Bubbles - purplemash

This is Bond Bubbles, a very good adding game with added fun with snooker style strategy. The playtime is generous and keeps kids entertained for a good spell - while training their sums!

Telling the time 2: discovery

Following up from my earlier post on practising reading and telling the time, I enjoyed seeing how this other activity engages the player really well: it's a snap card game for units of time. It has a dealing speed slider to make the game more or less challenging. Just hover the mouse over the button at the centre to wait for the right card and then...snap it with  the space bar. At any time the help icon on the top left will show the instructions. I was amazed with the satisfaction the little ones get when the right card turns up.
