Can anyone recommend any good kids learning games for a 5 year old.

Looking online but I have no idea if any of them are any good.
 
What kind of learning?

My kids (6 & 7 now) absolutely love MineCraft. They spend ages building stuff.

Improves their spacial awareness, counting, hand-eye, etc etc.


If you mean like proper maths, english, etc etc, then I'd just go to one of the many many online ones rather than buying anything. Cbeebies and the like have a load of colour matching, basic maths, etc.

Never thought about minecraft, will let him have a play with mine on my laptop to see if he can play on it.
 
Just bung it on creative mode and let him go wild.

I set my girls up a server, one sits on my pc, the other on the wifes, headsets on using teamspeak ^_^

I have a look at what they've been doing on an evening and its ridiculous how awesome some of the stuff is.

Came back the other day and they'd built a 'Sky Farm', full on floating islands, farmhouse, separate pens for different animals, fields of melons watered by waterfalls etc etc.

When I was their age we didn't even have a computer >_<
 
Sim City, it will teach them quite a bit. TBH any game that isn't a simple pick up for 30 minutes put down will do them good. Arma2 would even be good seeing as it would teach them patience. If you got them CoD however all it would teach them is simple victory like sitcoms, they give you a quick and simple answer, but life isn't really like that.
 
My daughter plays a few games online which she loves. For the life o me I can't remember what the website is called. It came highly recommended by the school. I will ask her tomorrow and get back to you.
 
I learnt to read independently at an early age, mainly, by playing SCUMM games like Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and Zak McKraken.

Also, install DOSBox and get an early version of Lemmings. Great puzzles for lateral thinking.
 
my daughter is slightly older but is also mad on plants vs zombies and minecraft. She also loves the sims and world of warcraft which have improved her reading no end with all the text in them etc
