Here is a selection of internet games we have found whilst out there trying to find the serious stuff.
Although we do our best to make sure that the sites that host these games are respectable enough to let our children play, we do
ask that you also check out the links so that you are happy they don't contain anything you don't want your children to see
Thank you, MAGIC

Three games here from ThinkFun, with demos built in to each of the pages (Although the Rush Hour demo doesn't work and you need
to use the keys for Tipover if you use the Firefox internet browser). The real game of Rush Hour is available in the MAGIC library to
borrow (for 1 month at a time) and is great at developing skills needed in planning. Tipover is also available
What's more, these games are recommended by the Occupational Therapists at Medway Hospital - fun under doctors orders, doesn't get much
better, does it?!
