Banana Shuffle
Banana Shuffle is the perfect game for children interested in expanding their vocabularies. At the beginning of this game, players are presented with a simple three or four-letter word. Next, you will need to form different words using the letters that make up the initial word. The more words you form, the more bananas you earn. If you'd like to play against a friend, simply take advantage of the game's multi-player feature.
Scary Dingbats
If you're looking for an effective way to improve your child's problem-solving skills, introduce her to Scary Dingbats. This game is chock-full of spooky mysteries that the player must solve by collecting clues and filling in blanks. As an added bonus, this game teaches children the importance of attention to detail.
Chicktionary
Chicktionary is another fun game for young children interested in boosting their word skills. In this game, players are presented with seven random letters from which they must form as many words as possible. In much the same fashion as Banana Shuffle, your score is determined by how many words you're able to form.
Spelling Bee
Spelling Bee is a great game with which to teach young children word recognition. In this game, players are presented with a list of short, simple words that are missing between one and three letters. It is the player's job to fill in the blank letters and complete the words. The more words you successfully complete, the higher your score.
