Holiday Fun on ABCYa!

It's the most wonderful time... of the year... 

Good thing I'm typing and not singing!    I wanted to share some of the fun games that ABCYa! has for winter holidays that would be great stations for students, or even better on the SMARTBoard.  Click on the title to be taken to the game.

Children love to play in the snow! 100 Snowballs is an interactive activity that gives children the opportunity to have fun by clicking and dragging snowballs around a winter scene. Children can create anything they imagine as long as it only uses 100 snowballs! This activity works well in the classroom on an interactive whiteboard.

Ball Ornaments Puzzle is a fun winter holiday activity. Kids must find as many ornaments as possible by locating matches to the example ornaments shown. The game is over when all 150 ornaments have been found or when the time has run out. Points are awarded by how quickly ornaments are found.

The Christmas edition of Sugar, Sugar is a challenging logic puzzle with a physics twist and a holiday theme. Each level of the game is a puzzle that requires planning and strategy. The goal is to draw lines with your mouse to get sugar into the cups. You must fill each cup until the number reads zero. Kids and adults will enjoy it!

It's time to put up the Christmas lights! But wait! Before you can put up the Christmas lights, you must correctly answer as many math problems as you can in one minute. You can practice addition, subtraction, multiplication or division facts. The more math problems you solve correctly, the more lights you will be given to decorate your house!
