Good Educational Nintendo Ds Games To Prepare For 1st Grade?
My son will be starting 1st grade this fall and has a lot of “fun” DS games but I’d like to get him some educational ones that are fun too. Toys R Us is having a “BOGO 1/2 off sale” so I’m planning on getting a few. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Learn Math (grades 1-4 only make him do the easier stuff)http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductD…
Big Brain Academy (all ages)http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductD…
Personal Trainer: Math (mentions “to help kids with homework” so maybe)http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductD…
Crosswords DS (I think this will even help)http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp…
Brain Age 2 (says 6 and up…)http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp…
The websites should be much more specific about age…
It’s good to have him learn in a fun way, but like someone else said the best way is for you to read to him and for a parent to work with him.
Best preparation for first grade is you reading to him, or him reading to you, if he reads. Also, sing the abc song with him, and have him count with you. If he has conquered counting start him on easy math problems.
Video games are not fun with moms like you.
