Appy Independence Week

I bope you've had a great independence week--mine has been full of patriotism: I visited lots of monuments and museums in Washington DC, saw historic Philadelphia and watched fireworks over the Atlantic Ocean in Atlantic City.

Here are some apps that are currently free:

Edgemates US Capitals--a puzzle game to learn/practice state capitals
Pre-K Spell HD--early childhood spelling game
Rocket Speller--a spelling game for K-1 students
Nighty Night HD--a bedtime storybook
Zoola Opposites--a game practicing opposite words
World Explorer--an app that shows monuments and places around the world (usually $3)
App Star Picks--an app that tells which kids apps to download and includes reviews

Another fun free word game I found this week is called Hooked on Words. It is similar to Boggle but there are different ways to play. The only downfall is that there are short advertisements between games.


All of the board games are on sale this week for $.99, most of which are usually $10. This includes Where's Waldo, Monopoly, Life, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Battleship, UNO and Boggle. The LEGO Harry Potter games are on sale down to $.99 from $5.

There are also many free iBooks that you download in the iBooks store. You have to first install iBooks if you don't have it. It is free in the app store. The free iBooks are listed on this website.

Enjoy!
