One of them was ‘Make a Christmas Tree’-the children had to click and drag the ornaments, decorations and gifts to decorate their Christmas tree. This website is specifically designed for young children. It allows users to browse through and play a wide range of educational games. These activities are centred towards fostering the children’s language, numeracy and problem-solving skills. Therefore, children are able to enhance their cognitive abilities while playing games.

Snowflake Match game taught the children the concept of symmetry. First, they have to choose a half of a snowflake and then place it to the other half that matches it. They learned that symmetry is when you have a half and the other half looks exactly the same. By clicking on the picture you will be redirected to the website PBS KIDS.
