(15 minutes twice a week) Numbers Bee and Honey Game: http://www.tvokids.com/framesets/bby.html?game=66 This site helps the kids work on using the mouse. It also helps them with counting.

Count to 100: http://www.hbschool.com/activity/count/index.html This site has a 100s chart. There are numbers missing. The game reads the numbers that are on the chart.
