As summer kicked off in the last few years, I've been sharing tips and tools to help young students hone schools skills while having some fun. We learned about these 10 games in 2009, and these tips for keeping math skills in shape over the summer break in 2010.

It's time to add some fun new ideas for the summer of 2011!

Here's a set of free online game sites for young kids, that can be fun and educational. Most of these sites offer games that are appropriate for K through 6, with a few offering some games applicable to students in grades 7 and higher (Thanks to my son Dylan for his help putting this list together.)
