Updated September 19, 2023

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!

Please note these are websites for kids, not for parents 🙂

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.
  • Brainpop – Animated educational site for kids – science, social studies, arts, math, health, engineering, and English
