Within this wholesome vibrant atmosphere, children learn to navigate the Internet with a kid-friendly browser. Accessing only "Great Sites" carefully selected by KiddoNet's educational multimedia experts and other "Favorite" sites chosen together with parents, kids embark on their initial Internet expeditions.
KiddoNet's pre-installed interactive play area provides children with hours of offline entertainment. Kids can find humorous pictures to color and animate, watch fast-loading original animations, solve puzzles, sing along to familiar songs, and even record, playback and modify their own voices. By clicking the "New from the Net" icon flashing at the bottom of each of these sections, kids can pull new material right off of KiddoNet's continually updated online area.
From the "New from The Net" icon on KiddoNet’s main screen, kids access our ever-growing selection of exciting online games, laugh at the jokes and riddles supplied by our KiddoNet friends, and get updates on what’s new in KiddoNet in KiddoNews.
Designed with kids in mind, KiddoNet attracts and captivates children of all ages due to the range of unique activities and games. For example, while our older friends are busy with the Detective, where children use the Internet to find clues while learning about archeology, history, geography and more, our young KiddoNet friends catch the dot to learn the alphabet, sing along with their favorite songs, and much much more.Kids Domain (http://www.kidsdomain.com/kids.html)
Lights at Room 14-A online. The objective of the game is to turn all 25 "lights" on. Clicking a square will toggle its light (as well as the lights of all horizontally and vertically adjacent squares) on and off.
Mastermind--the ultimate logic game at Room 14-A online. This is the classic strategy game that really makes you think! We love to play this. Our teacher tells us this is high-level thinking. We just think it's fun. We have been asked to provide this game on our site. We looked around for a long time and finally found this version, which we think is just great! The computer selects a sequence of four pegs. Your object is to discern what that sequence is. First, click Start. We are offering one of the easier versions of the game, so only the primary colored pegs will be available. Click on the color you wish to use and begin filling in the bottom row. The computer will score your selections. A black peg indicates there is a peg of the right color in the correct position. A white peg indicates that there is a correct color, but not in the correct position. Of course, there is no telling which peg is correct. :) You have eight selections before the computer will reveal the answer. Good luck!
Peg Puzzle at Room 14-A online. At the beginning of the game, you will be confronted with a wooden triangle with 15 blue pegs in it. The idea of the game is to jump the pegs over one another until you can jump no more. The best you can do is get down to 1 remaining peg. (A small text box at the bottom of the screen will tell you exactly what to do.)
