Sometimes it's okay to make cupcakes just so you can lick the beater. There are some fun things to do out on the Web; if you have an extra ten minutes at the end of class one day, why not go to one?
Beanie Babies Home Page (http://www.ty.com/)
They're everywhere, they're everywhere! Okay, maybe not as much as they were at Christmas 1996, but kids still adore this site, as do most of the grownups I work with.
Interactive Magic (http://pw2.netcom.com/~sleight/interactivemagic.html)
Truly mystifying. Magic over the Web. How do they do that?
Movies.com (http://www.movies.com/)
Though maybe it's not for younger students, Movies.com has a variety of really interesting movie trailers.
I'm recommending these sites primarily just for fun, and am more generally saying that it's okay to ocassionally just have a good time on the Web. But seriously, folks, Interactive Magic's on-line tricks can spark a very teachable moment in higher level thinking skills. Fun and games is not all fun and games.
