12 webs in Spanish for playing and learning

Kids love technology: they are fascinated by consoles, computers, tablets and smartphones, they are our “digital natives”.

We can channel their technological enthusiasm and fun in a way that complements their learning.

For our children to learn and play for their pleasure and ours, I suggest a selection of safe sites for children in Primary, for those rainy afternoons when we would like to do something similar to homework but funnier. Since many of these sites have been developed in Flash, and are not accessible from some mobile devices, you should better access them from a computer. Enjoy!

La Cueva de Tragapalabras

Another Flash interactive game to promote literacy through interactivity and play.
