Dmmetler Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 A friend of mine has 9 and 10 yr old girls, who got Kindles for Christmas. She doesn't have wifi at home. She's coming over tomorrow and would like to load stuff on them that can be used for school. What apps are really awesome for the fire that don't require an Internet connection once downloaded? Free or paid. Quote
hellen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Stack the States. My 8 year old learned the location of all 50 states in about a week. She was very very determined so those aren't typical results but any kid could do it with practice. 1 Quote

Arcadia Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 What were the books called? The german book apps were mainly by Carlsen Verlag. I downloaded the free ones on my kids ipads and kindles. Link is to the deutsch page http://m.carlsen.de/kinderbuecher/apps Verlagsgruppe Oetinger also has a few free german storybook apps. http://www.oetinger.de/buecher/apps.html The chinese ones that are free are from Rye Books.
