Today I Googled “free preschool software” to see what I could find for my 3 year old. I was specifically looking for software so that she can play without being online. I came across an Educational Freeware website, which led me to Sebran’s ABC and Minisebran. I downloaded them and soon we were both playing! I plan on downloading Sebran’s ABC in the lab, and hopefully I can get Minisebran installed in the PreK classrooms.
Here are the descriptions and screenshots. Visit the website for more.
Sebran’s ABC: Sebran’s ABC is a freeware collection of 12 different activities for kids 4-9 years old. It includes counting games, a Hangman game, Memory games, typing games and much more. Sebran’s ABC is multilingual and runs in 28 different languages, including French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Greek and many more.
MiniSebran: Minisebran contains alphabet exercises, number exercises and doodle activities. It is perfect for toddlers and kids up to 5 years old who are learning the basics of using a computer, keyboard and mouse.
Amber, this is a great piece of software. Thanks for plurking about it. I think this will be very helpful for my teen to use to practice learning her French alphabet. Hope your daughter enjoys it for a long time.
BTW, if you want to know about some older, yet excellent software for kids, I recommend all the Tonka construction/drive/live in space software. They had a good representation of women in them.
Also, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing for Kids is a game for little ones to secretly teach kids to keyboard. My teen always used both hands correctly when keyboarding. It is amazing.
Forgive me! Hee! I digress! Enjoy your little one. They grow up WAY too fast.
Highly challenging thank you, I think your readers would definitely want a whole lot more content of this nature keep up the great effort.
