A brief (less than 100 words) description of the educational value of the site

This site has a variety of different games for students to play. The primary games range from Hide-‘n-Seek to having students typing alphabet letters on the keyboard. I believe this site would be very good instructive tool for primary ages at school and home.

Brief comments (less than 100 words) concerning specific strengths and/or weaknesses in relation to the Web Portal criteria

Funschool.com is very open on how this site is run and how the information is readily available. The content seems to cover all the areas of learning and the games are made to become harder to challenge an individual. This site covers many different standards. Finding your way around is easy; games are visible by words and pictures. There are sounds with the games, and it has very good positive reinforcements for getting problems correct.
