Computer Games and Instruction?

So I was doing some searching and found things like Zoombinis and JumpStart which were a pretty big when my big kids were small. I was wondering if there are still such programs that people are using? I don't allow my littles much time on the computer, but I'd be interested in the current loved programs so I could pick a few for them to do. I figure that in over a decade, there may be some new things worth enjoying :)

I don't know, but my daughter loooooves jumpstart, which I got at tjmxx for $6 so don't rule that out. :) I know that on the library computers, my kids play an Arthur game and also a Miss Spider Sunny Patch game that both seem to have a lot of educational value. (Though now that I think about it I think my 7 yo plays them more than my 5.

 

Also look on your computer...ours has a game preinstalled called Purble Place that has some logic games that are fun and educational.

This is a website that teaches basic computer skills through fun games. There are sections by grade level. I haven't seen all that it out there, but this is the one that my kids use.

For Math we LOVE Math Rider and Timez Attack.

Oh, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. We have new computers (and no old ones). I just didn't know what is popular for little guys anymore and now that I have a few little people....
