A word of clarification... I think there is a great amount of learning that can be done via these links and there are rich opportunities for interdisciplinary connections on many of these sites. My reason for parking them in this category is that I've yet to design activities to exploit the specific content here. Meanwhile, they are entertaining to peruse just for fun.
Story Place: Español
This biblioteca includes interactive Shockwave stories intended for little kids.
Combines audio narration, text passages and visuals. There are thematic games
based on the story.
SuperSaber
This new Casa Fave has delightful educational activities. They are designed for
little kids and have great content and slick design.
Peguenet
I've only begun to explore this portal for kids 3 - 12. (Even so, it's a new
Casa Fave.) It has everything from activities to jokes and wonderful stories.
Exploratorium:
Spanish
The Exploratorium is an interactive site with a focus on science. They have
recently made their online explorations available in other languages. You'll
find puzzles and optical illusions with Spanish instructions and explanations.
Dulces Vero
This
site for a Mexican candy company features games, printable worksheets, e-cards
and other interactive features. The
fábrica lets you design your own candy - with or without chili.
(No longer requires an account.)
Decorador
Virtual
http://www.facilisimo.com/contenidos/decoracion/decorador/
Sadly,
this site is missing as of 4/1/07. It is archived in the Way Back Machine,
but the .swf file that allowed you to create the room layouts is missing.
I'm leaving it here in hopes my email pleas for its return are answered.
Museo de los Niños Abasto
This very elaborate website will make you jealous that you can't get to the
museum yourself. Fortunately, there are great online images,
educational games, and a
virtual tour.
Cartoon Network:
Latin America
This fun site to explore includes games among other fun things.
The Barking
Mouse
This charming bilingual story tells the value of learning another language.
