Websites for Gifted Students

This is Lucy’s personal collection of websites for gifted children of all ages – covering math, science, sustainability, crafting, art, music, reading, geography, history, writing, and more. Make sure you check our our new list of Books for Gifted Children, and our Top 10 Games for Gifted Children!

Multi-Subject Websites for Gifted Kids

  • ABCya.com – Organized by grade level from K-5, so would be appropriate for gifted kids starting around age 3. I like when websites are organized by age/grade because then we can just hop up about 2 grades/levels and we’re usually at a good starting point. This website has some fantastic content and games – spelling bee games, word searches, sight words, typing and keyboarding games, math bingo, geography games, and more.
  • Enchanted Learning – Definitely a must visit for crafty kids.  I have used the printable worksheets from this site for both of my kids from age 2 and up.  We use it constantly even today… definitely spring for the membership if you can afford it. (Also great for toddlers and preschoolers)
  • Freerice – Answer questions to end world hunger!
  • World Book for Kids – Articles, illustrations, games, activities, dictionary, and atlas
  • Time for Kids – Multi-subject activities, worksheets, printable quizzes and more for K-6, from the publishers of Time Magazine
  • Brainpop – Animated educational site for kids – science, social studies, arts, math, health, engineering, and English

  • KidsKnowIt.com – Totally free children’s learning network.
  • ZiggityZoom.com – Another new find for us. Crafts, food, printables, tech, activities, and more. Includes summer fun activities, and homeschooling activities. I really like this site because it’s well organized, loads fast, and has a great layout.
