I absolutely love this site for a “free choice” activity in the computer lab or on the SMART Board. Most of them are brain/fun-type games, and there are plenty to choose from! Enjoy!

Draw a Stickman is an interactive shared by @dannynic on Twitter yesterday. Simply follow the prompts and watch your stickman come to life! This activity will be a hit in your classroom! My 4th graders loved it. What a hoot!

It’s back to school for Mobile County Public Schools on Monday! Don’t forget to have a little fun on your SMART Board with the singing horses that I posted about in 2009.

Here are the famous singing horses. What a great activity to get students used to touching the SMART Board! This would also work if you are discussing Cause and Effect or just to have some fun on a Friday afternoon.

The Horse Quartet

Here is a cool find shared via Twitter by BarbInNebraska. Dotty Dots, inspired by Google’s Doodle on September 7, lets you create your own colorful ball message! Give it a shot!

Here is a fun and addicting game called Circle the Cat that I found while browsing the Tequipment blog. Click on the light green dots and try to trap the cat within the dark green dots. This game works best in  full screen mode using the Flash Game Maximizer add-on in Firefox. Give it a try!

Have some Friday fun with Hands Symphony from the American Heart Association. Just click on the hands to make your own music track. You can also send your track to a friend or share it on a number of social networking sites. Have fun!

Have some Friday fun with Windosill. There are lots of hidden things here to play with, just make sure you turn on the lights first.

I found these games on the Dutch whiteboard site schoolbordportaal.nl (Google Chrome was so kind to translate it for me, too!). You all remember Simon, right? Test your memory by following the patterns of lights and sounds for as long as you can. There is also a nice Connect 4 game on the site as well. Have fun!

Give your students a thrill for April Fools’ Day by letting this “Magic Gopher” guess their number after doing some simple math. I’ve done it about four times now and he’s guessed right every time! Have fun!

I stumbled upon GrabbaBeast.com today while browsing Delicious. It’s an awesome interactive website where you can build your own beast using a variety of body parts. You can even paint the beast any color you’d like by using the paint tool. Once completed, you can save it, send it as an ecard, download it as wallpaper, or share it with friends on a variety of social sites. You will even be given a bit.ly url to your beast, as well as an embed code so you can put it on any website or blog. You don’t have to register or log in to do any of these things; however, you will have to name your beast and add your nickname. How awesome would this site be to use for the Monster Exchange or any similar project? Your students are going to love this!
