  •   Conclusion
 

As preeschool teachers and educators, we consider that none of this games are appropiate for kindergarten students. Most of this children are starting their reading process, and the ones that already read are not able to understand too much written information.

At this ages students have a low level of attention, they need to be in constant motivation. They love colorful pages, animation, sounds, images they can understand, interactive games. They need the instructions to be illustrated or that it explains the insructions orally.

It is an excellent tool for Teachers, but it is not meaningful for students of this ages.
