HANGMAN PRO
Hangman Pro is a modern twist of the classical hangman game. It features colorful, non-violent graphics, digitized sounds, dozens of built-in word categories, thousands of words, unlimited lists of your own words, hints and much more.
Hangman Pro is secretly-educational. It's played for fun, but you can't help learning. Included in Hangman Pro is a new Knowledge Area. This area includes information associated with the guessed word or phrase. If the word chosen is from the States or Countries category, for example, the Knowledge Area will show the capital of the State or Country. If the category is Authors or Composers, the knowledge area will show facts about, or famous works of, the author or composer. You can also make your own lists (unlimited in number) and include your own associated information. There are dozens of categories, guaranteed to include something for everyone.
Hangman Pro, allows users to keep track of winning streaks. And, best of all, separate score boards are kept for each difficulty level, so they can compete against users choosing the same difficulty level.
Hangman Pro supports the entry and display of words in many languages, including Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish. Hangman Pro makes learning vocabulary more fun than ever before.
An important disadvantage of this game, is that hints or clues are almost never given, therefore it makes challenging the user's cognitive ability at a lesser degree.
Users can download the game for their kids at home or teachers can use it for the students,at:

IColorToo
IColorToo software is a free computer coloring book that engages the interests of children, usually between the ages of 3-6 years. Children can use this software to develop their creativity skills through the use of color.
When children click and the various colors their interests are further captured with the effects of sounds. Children are encouraged to 'go wild' and use their imagination and creativity through the use of color.
The use of animated animals catches their attention and further expands their knowledge. The books are parents- friendly as well as the software spreads over the whole screen.
All the non- color commands are two- key shortcuts, as task- bar, windows and escape key are all switched off. therefore, the child will not be able to jump out of the coloring book and end up in windows desktop.
