I've just discovered a really useful and fun web site that
has lots of free games to help kids practise their mouse skills -
basic eye-hand coordination, and timing skills. It is not for 'first
beginner level' users but great for kids who are mastering the basics
of moving and clicking. There are very simple games to enjoy that are
just about cursor control and clicking (simple painting, popping
balloons etc.), but the site also offers quite testing games bringing in
very simple off-screen scrolling, challenges of speed /reaction time,
and click and drag skills, and cognitive skills like planning, basic
spatial reasoning, judging height and distance, estimating trajectory
etc., as well as consolidating basic counting andshape/colour matching.
A comprehensive free and fun playground and training ground for the mini gameplayer, in fact. (doesn't work on iPads, though)
