Toy Theater
Toy Theater is a website stocked with multiple reading and math games that can be used to enhance the learning and teaching of a subject. Along with reading and math there are art, music, games, and puzzle sections on the website that can be used in the classroom too. There are also several virtual manipulatives that can be used in the classroom as teaching or practice tools.
Why should I use Toy Theater in my classroom?
The Toy Theater website is a great way for students to present their knowledge on a subject in a different form rather than the standard pencil and paper. Your students will have fun playing these games that are designed to help them practice the skills learned in the classroom. Most of the games have the common core standards listed below them to show the purpose for the classroom. These are more than just games, they are ways for a student to practice and apply the knowledge learned in the classroom!
