Game time

www.miniclip.com


Make sure you finish your homework before visiting this site, because you’ll probably be here for a while. Miniclip will entertain you with over 300 free games, separated into categories such as action, puzzles or sports. Hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth and lead your baseball team to victory, smash your way through a tennis tournament and become a grand slam champion, or try to keep your customers smiling as you run a gas station. The best part about “Up Beat” — a game where you press keys to match up music and patterns — is that you can tell your parents you’re just practicing your typing skills!



Toys of science

www.sciencetoymaker.org


Have you always wanted to make an air rocket? This website teaches you how to create homemade toys, like air rockets that can soar above your house, and then explains the science behind it all with cool diagrams. You’ll be able to whistle with an acorn top, speak to friends through a homemade intercom and even test your parents with your very own lie detector! Feeling bored? Make a toy.



Earth Spy

www.nationalgeographic.com/geospy


Are you good with maps? That skill will come in handy if you play this challenging spy game, brought to you by National Geographic. The Geospy Agency asks you to identify continents, countries, states or provinces before time runs out. If you succeed, you become an official agent and can print off your own Geospy certificate. Good luck!
