Created by a volunteer math aide in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Moneywise Kids contains two simple, fun games that will help kids understand how money works, in terms of dollar value and spending power. In the first game, Bill Maker, kids take turns rolling the dice and earning dollars that are commensurate with the numbers that come up: roll a 2 and a 6, for instance, and you get $8. As they accrue wealth with each turn, players exchange smaller bills for larger ones until someone winds up with $100.

Tick, tock, tick, tock... ding! It must be time to learn a game about learning to tell the time. This ingenious board game for two to four players will do the tick, er, trick. The colorful 19-inch square board has a spiral path, with divisions that illustrate your day's activities, from getting up and washing to winding down and going to bed. Using game pieces, a clock face with movable hands, and a special time die marked with varying intervals, players move around the board and perform a variety of tasks that are described in the accompanying spiral-bound flip book. The game teaches digital and analog time telling. --Richard Farr

Kids that are serious about spelling (can anyone say "spelling bee?") will get an unlimited supply of learning with the combined Turbo Twist and Mind Station connector. The talking, teaching, musical Turbo Twist allows kids to complete complex spellings, get instant answers, learn spelling rules, and have words repeated. Progress is continuously assessed and adjusted to challenge kids as they play with the Turbo. A headphone jack keeps the rather loud machine quiet when others are around, and a slot on the machine's side accommodates the Mind Station cartridge.
