I was on an excellent academic website at work today with my kids in speech therapy. BBC bitesize has some interesting and entertaining activities targeting specific academic skills. The UK has excellent educational sites and most are free.
As I was waiting for a group of kids to arrive for their session, I clicked on the game, Questionaut, at the bottom of the homepage. I'm always on the lookout for games that: elicit lots of talking, target specific skills, are entertaining, creative, and lovely. That last one is for me. They are not easy to come by. For every 20 websites/activities I review I bookmark maybe one.
I was lifted out of my seat by the graphics and design of this particular game. Not only is it intriguing for kids, but the images are striking and the music lovely. After only a few minutes, I googled Amanita Design, creator of the game. I will be exploring this independent design studio a lot more in the future.

Look up the Xbox game "Portal"
