My Take
ABCya! is a workhorse of educational games for students in K-5. Arranged by grade level and subject it is a frequently used site in my lab, when students need to practice math concepts or phonics. The games are fun for students, and usually progress by levels. In addition to math and reading, there are seasonal games (snowflakes, pumpkin carving) that are fun free-choice or after school activities. My only complaint of this site targeted to children is the ads.
How I Use It
We use ABCya! to strengthen math and reading skills, for typing practice and as a word cloud creator. Students also choose it when they have free choice. The games are well done, and the younger students really enjoy them.

Looking back, I didn't even realize how educational the games actually were; I didn't even notice as a kid playing, I was too busy having fun!

Free version has many ads, but does the job.
There are many ads, which sometimes makes the mobile version unusable, but overall ABCya is good for its value given that it is free. The variety of games is a double edged sword though, as students don't have a learning path to follow since they are free to choose whatever they'd like to play. This can be overwhelming to some students.
