The first step is that of actually buying a blank type of SD card if they do not already possess one which should be inserted within the Nintendo DSi which for those who are not familiar with, represents a portable type of video game console. What is also required for them to do is to make sure that an Internet connection is available for them on their DSI. Afterwards, it is important for the users to purchase the games that they might want to add. For some of these games they will be required to play a certain sum of money in order to purchase them while others are free.

The next step which is important to be mentioned in a discussion on how to add DSI games to an SD card is that of locating the games having been downloaded in the idea of copying them and in this way of storing them on the SD card.

If you are looking to have some fun on the internet , there are many activities that you can choose from. For example you can listen to music, watch videos on youtube, communicate with friends (or with new people from all over the world), watch images and you can also play some video games. Of course you can find many downloadable games on the internet, but a much simpler solution is to play a free online video game. These are usually made with the flash technology and you can play them directly from your internet browser, without having to download or install anything. These kind of games are really diverse, having all sort of topics and characters. Some of them are really funny or silly, but of course not all of them. There are also more serious games, games that require some concentration and intelligence. And there are also educational games, for kids but not only. Through some of these games a child can learn the alphabet, or learn how to count, how to type or learn different objects such as chemistry or math.

So today we are going to discuss about some fun math games that can be found on the internet. Unlike you are really crazy about math, this domain can be very boring or annoying for most of us. And also for the kids. So that’s why for a math game to be fun, it need to be combined with something else. An example is the “Coolmath’s Crazy taxi M 12” game. This one combines math with driving, so it can be really fun for kids, especially for boys. So to play this game you must know a little bit about driving and also a little bit about math. The objective of the game is to bump into some cars on the road, while avoiding others, and also to get to the finish line in time. Each car will have a number written on it, and you will receive specific instructions before each mission. For example you will be asked to hit only into the cars that have numbers on them that are multiples of 2. So to do this you will have to know the multiples of 2, so here are some of them: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and so on. In other levels you will have to bump into the multiples of 7 ( 7, 14, 21, 28 etc.) or into the multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and so on). So you have to have some math knowledge to be able to accomplish all tasks and to finish each level. Sometimes there will be more cars in front of you matching the description, so try to be fast and to hit as many as you can. If you will bump into a wrong car there won’t be anything wrong happening, but you will stop, and lose quite a lot of time. There will be also obstacles in your way, that you will have to jump over. And the car is looking quite nice, so after all this is a fun game, that will keep your child busy for a lot of time…and which also will learn him about multiples.

Another fun math game is the one called “Add em up”. In this one you will have in front of you a board with many numbers and you will also see the next number (or tile) and the queue of numbers that will follow. Your objective is to place the number on the board, in such a way that all the surrounding tiles will add up to that value. If you didn’t understand yet, here is an example: if in the box you have the numbers 1, 2 and 3, the sum of them is 6. So you will need a tile containing the number 6 to place it there and to make those tiles to disappear. Your final goal will be to make all the tiles from the board to disappear. The tiles have number just from 1 to 9 so you might ask yourself what happens if the numbers add to a number bigger than 10. Well in this case, the only number that matters is the last digit. Let’s take an example: if you have in a square a 9, a 2 and a 7 they will add up to 18. The digit that counts is the last one (8), so you will need an 8 to make these tiles disappear. Whenever you get stuck you can use some of the power moves you have. These are: the image of a square with an arrow on it will give you a fresh queue with new tiles, the image of an arrow will undo the last move you made, the image of the X will allow you to choose any number and eliminate all the instances of that number from the board, the question mark sign will randomly change all the tiles from the board and the image of a bomb will allow you to pick a spot from the board and to eliminate all the surrounding tiles. You can choose to play one of the 4 game modes, that are: practice mode, puzzle mode, panic mode and classic mode, and each one will have specific tasks. So after all this is a nice game, that will stimulate your mind, and it can be played by persons of any age. (with the condition to know how to add numbers :).



A site offering many educational games, and also math games is http://teachingtreasures.com.au. These are educational games for kids, and the games are sorted by the age of the child that they are suited for. You will find games for ages from 5 to 8 years, from 9 to 10 years and from 11 years above. These are not quite real games, they are just involving different math operations. So if your child does not like to write on the paper, you can get him to learn math and do calculations directly from the computer. Of course be careful and don’t let him use the “Computer” found in Windows.



Some operations are simple and they can be made mentally, while others are more complicated, so after all the child will have to use a piece of paper…and then write the correct answer on the keyboard. First start the timer, and then start the calculations. You will have 5 minutes, which is more than enough to make all the tasks. Of course if you finish them faster, you can press the “check answers” button, and all the operations will be automatically verified. You will see which ones are good and which are wrong. You can also use the “clear work” button to delete all the answers written so far, and to start all over again. Good luck!

A baby shower party is a way to celebrate the pending or recent birth of a child.

Games can help break the ice between guests that don't know one another. And even if the guests know each other very well, games can create a few unexpected memories of the party. The organizers of the party must be careful to choose some funny games, but which are not embarrassing for the guests or doesn't make them feel uncomfortable. You must also decide if you will play the games just for fun, or there will  be prizes included. It's not necessary to give large or expensive prizes, just something symbolic that will make the winner to feel like he really won. Prizes could consist of candles, boxes of note cards, candies, chocolate, refrigerator magnets and so on.

If you never organized a baby shower party, or you never been to one, there are many free funny baby shower games that you can find on the internet. Now we will present some of them. The first you can play is the "Guess the waist size". Here the guests would have to estimate the waist size of the pregnant mom. The mom's belly is a sensible subject to talk about, so that's why you don't have to say anything about sizes in inches. The best thing to do is to pass around a ball of yarn and a pair of scissors, and each guest should cut off a length of yarn, that he estimates will fit around the pregnant mom. After each guest had cut his piece of yarn, the mom must measure her waist with the yarn and cut off the correct length. Then you will compare all the lengths with this one, and the person who is the closest will win. It is a fun game, and you will be surprised at the variation in guessing of your guests.

Another game to play is also a guessing game. In this one, the hostess asks the guests to write down their guess for the delivery date, weight or height of the baby that should come. They can even guess the gender of the baby if that isn't already known. She can give the winner a prize when the time is right, or she can collect a small wage from each of the guests, and the winner will take all.

A different kind of fame is the "Mommies and babies". Here the guests will have to know the names of babies for different kinds of animals. The hostess will read a list of animals and the guests can write down on a piece of paper the names of the babies. The person who written the most of the names will be the winner. Here are some examples that you can use for this game: bear - cub, cat - kitten, horse - foal, cow - calf, pig - piglet, dog - puppy, hen - chick, duck -duckling, swan - cygnet or goose - gosling.

Another funny baby shower game is the "baby pictures" game. Here you will have to ask the guests a few days earlier before the party to bring a baby picture of themselves. Number each picture and place them where everyone can see. Give each guest a piece of paper with a list of numbers that are corresponding to the pictures, and ask them to fill the list with their guesses of which baby picture belongs to each guest. The person with the most correct guesses wins.

A popular game at the baby showers is the Bingo. Make up a blank bingo card paper, and make copies for each of the guests. Make sure that the boxes are large enough so the people can write different name on them. Ask them to fill in the blank spaces with the items that they think the mother will be receiving as gifts. As gifts are being opened, each of the guests should mark them off on their cards, if they written them. The first person to fill her card calls out "Bingo" and wins the game. It is really fun to play, and will keep the guests busy while the mom is also busy with opening the gifts.

Another game to play is the "Thank you note game". When they arrive, ask the guests to write down their name and address on a Thank you Card envelope. Then set a timer, at about 30 minutes so it will ring 2 or 3 times during the shower. When the time is off, the honoree randomly picks up a card from the basket and hat person wins a small prize.

While at a shower party you can also play this simple and fun game, called the "M&M's Baby bottle guess". First empty a bag of M&M's and count them, then place all of them in a baby bottle. Be sure to remember the exact number or write it down. Ask everyone to write their guess on how many candies are in the bottle. The closest person to the correct number wins a prize. You can even give him all the M&M's as a prize .

Another funny game is the "Draw the baby". Give each one of the guests a paper plate and ask them to write their names or initials on its back. Then each one of them must place the paper plate on top of their heads and draw a baby. They must not take it off or look at it and they have 2 minutes to finish the drawing. After the time is up, someone must collect the drawings, but not the hostess mom because she must not know which drawing belongs to each person.  Then she will look at all the drawings and  choose the one she likes the best. Only after that she will turn the paper around and see who made that drawing.

You can also try to play the "Celebrity Baby game". You must take pictures of baby's bodies out of magazines or from the internet, and also cut out or print pictures of famous peoples faces. Then glue together the faces on the baby's bodies and place them on a cardboard. Give a number to each picture and create a sheet with all of those numbers. Pass out the sheet and pencils to each of the guests and show them the pictures. The person who will write down the many correct answers will win a prize.

Another guessing game is the "Piggy bank activity". Here you must have a piggy bank, and ask each one of the guests to add some change to it. After that ask everyone to guess the amount of money from the piggy bank. After each person written his approximation, count all the money. The person who was the closest is the winner and takes all the money from the piggy bank.

There are so many other cool games for the baby showers parties, but we will present you just one more, and let you discover the others on the internet. The last we'll be talking about is the "Pin the binky on the baby". It is a really fun game that will put your guests on the move. First make a poster size picture of a baby and make some copies of a baby pacifier. The game is similar to the "Pin the tail on the donkey" game, so you will have to blindfold each of the guests. Then they will have to tape the pacifier as close as possible to the baby's mouth. The one who gets the closest to the mouth will win.
