My Take

This is a good site that can be used when students have choice in self-exploration or choosing sites to reinforce learning. Some of the games work well on interactive whiteboards for small group or whole group instruction. The skills listed are: Addition, Counting, Data Analysis, Deductive Reasoning, Fractions, Geometry, Grouping, Letters, Measurement, Money, Multiplication, Numbers, Patterns, Shapes, Sorting and Classifying, Spatial Sense, Storytelling, Subtraction, Vocabulary, Words, and Writing

How I Use It

The site allows you to filter your games search by skills (e.g., addition, counting, data analysis, measurement, patterns, numbers, shapes, letters, words, etc.), age level (3-5 or 6-8), device (mobile, tablet, interactive whiteboard, augmented reality or online) , or show (Curious George, Sid the Science Kid, Fizzy’s Lunch Lab, The Cat in the Hat, and The Electric Company).

Great interactive games for multiple devices that engage learners and reinforce skills

PBS Kids Lab is a great teaching tool to help reinforce skills and concepts. Teachers can use this resource for whole group or small group instruction. Each game features a picture as well as a brief statement of how it works and what will be learned. This can be helpful to students as they decide whether or not to play the game if they are playing individually. Once you click Play, then a new page opens up which displays a separate URL for the game or a download button for apps. It may be challenging for some students to navigate back to the main PBS Kids Lab page unless the game is opened up in a new window. However the game link can be bookmarked or shared as needed.

Cute graphics, fun tunes, and repeats enough to reinforce basic skills.

It is very good for children who struggle or who are English Learners. It does repeat the same message over and over which is good for kids who need things repeated. The pictures are captivating and fun. The music is alluring.
