What’s It About?
Created and maintained by an education professional and expert in social studies, SOCIALSTUDIESFORKIDS.COM offers original articles and games on geography, maps, economics, the alphabet, and more to challenge your brain cells. Some offer tutorials, and there's a handy glossary, too, arranged by historical event. You'll also find information about current events such as Black History Month and the Olympics. Some topics are missing overview articles, relying instead on a carefully chosen selection of links to other resources around the Web. Don't miss the book review section, where you'll find lively commentary on all kinds of titles for kids.
Is It Any Good?
This is a terrific site where kids can learn and play games at the same time.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about finding reliable information on the Web. Why is a site created by an educational professional better to go to than a site you just come across during a search? How can you tell if you can trust what you're reading on a site?

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
