PC educational games.....recommendations for child stuck in wheelchair.

[megs]

I am after some recommendations for some educational PC Games.

My nearly 5 year old son broke his femure about 4 weeks ago and is currently stuck in a wheelchair. He is starting to get frustrated with his limitations and there is only so much colouring that I can expect him to do.

So I was looking at getting some educational games for the computer. He is currently in Kindergarton so around that age level I would prefer ones that link in with Australian teaching methods if possible.

Thanks

I have ABC reading eggs cd roms, designed to teach Aussie kids and is in Aussie English. You can buy them from ABC shops or if your pc is connected to the net you could get him a subscription. Its fantastic. My dd1 is 4.5 and she has learnt so much from it! Hope his leg mend soon

Thanks minimatron, I will have a look at them on line. He just needs something to help ease the boredom.

Mathletics is a program here which our school uses from Year 1 (aged 5 onwards). I know you can purchase it from places like Harvey Norman, not sure if you can purchase it online tho.

My son uses Mathletics and Reading Eggs. He loves them!
He's also started using this cool maths games site at school now too (You don't have to sign up for it or anything). I'm not sure if you wanted maths things or not but I can give you the link to it if you wanted. (I'm not sure if I can post a link or not here. Lol)

Thanks girls.

A maths one would be great, I currently have one that is based on phonetics so something along the maths line would be good. He is quite bright and seems to grasp things quickly so this would be a good challenge for him.

Anything is better than the DS and Nintendo Car games.
