And the Blox Went Boom!

Recently in science class, we played a game called Boom Blox on Wii, using the Smart Board.To play Boom Blox, you must think if ways to "kill two birds with one stone." In other words you must formulate a decision about how to knock all the Blox over in as little tries as possible. In different games you can play Chem Blox (cause chemical reactions to knock over blox), Bomb Blox (use bomb blox to remove the Blox), and more. Boom Blox is a great game that really helps build good problem solving skills. It forces you to think about chain reactions. There are plenty of other games and software that will really help kids learn. JumpStart Study Helpers Spelling Bee Software enables children to import their spelling vocabulary as it helps them study. Hooked on Phonics and Zizzle make toys for children that help with their phonics skills. With a world of technology out there, learning is as fun and simple as saying "Boom Blox!"
