Re: [school-discuss] 3D interactive games for

[mike eschman <meschman@etc-edu.com>]

hello,

that's a tough one, 3D interactive games for 5 year olds.  most
good linux 3d programmers are aiming at an older audience.  could
you be a bit more specific about what you want?  take some time
and try to describe the ideal 3d interactive game for your 5 year
old audience, in non-technical terms any K. teacher would grasp
on first hearing.  if you can do that, i might even understand it :-)

meanwhile, here are some free resources that might help :

http://212.67.202.53/~simonmayor/mmtpix1.htm coloring books,
rhymes, basic musical concepts ...

http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/dinosaurs/---> warning!
scary dino sounds ...

http://www.candlelightstories.com/D001/morekids.asp ---> nice
little colorful story books. about 100 of them !!!!!

http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/books/ -----> let your
students make their own books (dozens of them...)

they are from our resource page.

hope this helps ...
