Driving Kids - Free Online Educational Games for Kids

Is your child so talkative that his or her voice rings in your ears even when you sleep? Do teachers beg you to do something to make him or her quiet as a lamb? There’s no need to get on your kid’s case (we don’t think that’s a game you can win). Play it safe, just help them start chatting in a useful way! Take, for example, T-Bone Productions in North Carolina (USA).

“Online radio show lets kids be the DJs,” writes CITIZEN-TIMES.com. “The two 11-year-olds were the co-hosts of a new kids radio show in Asheville … The program airs 8-10 a.m. Saturday mornings on the online-only station AshevilleFM.org.” Owing to this, while kids develop their communication skills, parents may regard their young chatterboxes as rising radio stars.

What if Driving Kids offered its players the option to sing karaoke and share their singing with other players and parents? Would you allow your children to take part in such an activity in our online game? Would you like for us to organize an online singing competition or something similar? Let us know what you think!

Learning in elementary school today isn’t limited to math, history or the fine arts: music is an important component as well. Not only because of its aesthetic and cultural value, but as a way to improve students’ behavior as well as their motivation, concentration, ability to work in teams and self-expression skills. “Music ‘can boost wider learning,’” according to the BBC, quoting a new report commissioned by the Federation of Music Services (UK). “Learning a musical instrument at primary school can boost a child’s confidence and learning in other areas.”

We haven’t conducted this kind of research yet ourselves, but the fact remains: Driving Kids offers “Piano Truck,” a free educational music game for kids. Thus students can play the piano online with their friends, sisters or brothers… or math teacher, mom or dad. Now you know that it’s good not only for training an ear for music!
