You don\u2019t need boring workbooks and practice sheets to ensure your kids steer clear of the dreaded \u201csummer slide.\u201d Here are some ways you can use your Android to make playing, and learning compatible.<\/p>\n

Download Educational Games<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let your kids play all the games they want without fearing for their brain cells. Google Play conveniently has an education category, with hundreds of apps to choose from. Consider downloading Cyberchase 3D builder, an action packed geometry game that will keep your kids\u2019 math skills sharp.<\/p>\n

For spelling and language reinforcement, check out Word Wow. This challenging, and fast paced word puzzle will keep the kids entertained for hours. The app BrainPOP features an expansive assortment of short movies on topics ranging from history to current events, followed by brief memory-testing quizzes. Your kids will be happy they\u2019re playing, and you\u2019ll be happy they\u2019re learning.<\/p>\n

Get The Kids Outside<\/strong><\/p>\n

While there are enough educational games to keep your kids entertained all day, summer is the perfect time for kids to get outside and explore. It may seem counterintuitive, but there are a wide range of apps that can inspire your kids to learn about nature by going outside.<\/p>\n

Plum\u2019s Creaturizer, for example, lets kids build unique creatures, and then encourages them to photograph these creatures in their backyards. When the sun goes down, open the SkyView app to make the most out of a night of stargazing. Simply point your phone camera at the sky to identify stars, constellations, and planets. Day or night, your Android can provide the fun outdoor experiences that are central to summer learning.<\/p>\n

Make Reading Enjoyable<\/strong><\/p>\n

The importance of summer reading cannot be overemphasized. Fortunately, your Android has several tricks up its sleeve to make reading fun and engaging for kids. Open Google Play to download kid-friendly books of all genres, from fiction to sports. You can also download reading apps, which present books in an interactive format.<\/p>\n

For example, WWF Together tells animal stories by combining reading, animation, and stunning images. For younger kids, the app Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim provides a fun way to practice reading skills while also learning about water safety. By giving your kids books that interest them in formats that engage them, you can help your kids develop a passion for reading.<\/p>\n

Ready to Learn?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let your phone\u2019s diminishing memory prevent your kids from learning! Download PSafe TOTAL<\/a><\/strong> to maximize your storage space, so you can download enough games, apps, and books to keep the kids sharp all summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
