If you have a child who loves animals, here are two amazing sites:
First, welcome to Arkive. Founded by Sir David Attenborough, it is a source for thousands of images and videos of wildlife around the world. You can search by species, or geographic region. Several classes used the site this year, and loved it. If you navigate to the "Education" page, you can find a series of games designed for children beginning at 7 year old. The reading level required to read the text accompanying each animal is quite high, though.
For younger kids who are eager to read about animals, National Geographic Kids Creature Features is another great option:
Kids love the photography on this site - and it is chuck-full of great information about animals. The entire site is great for kids - and features dozens of games.
