Lego City: My City offers a variety of mini games that engages both a student's brain and body. Students will be challenged to drive a race car, unload trains in a logical fashion, and even drive a snowmobile through the arctic.

All mini games are short, so this apps works great in rooms where iPads are limited.

Another Lego title that may find a place on your iPads is Lego Fusion: Town Master. This app is meant to integrate with Lego's Fusion series toys, but can be used as a stand alone app. Think Minecraft simplified with Legos.

Multiple cities can be created after a few tutorial mini-games, so it could be possible for each student to have their own city on one iPad, or better yet, let each student add onto the classroom city!

Sometimes teachers just need a simple coloring app, well, behold Live Colors for Kids. On the surface the app is simple, but it hides a interesting coloring app twist, students can learn to blend colors! Using the palette, students can learn to mix colors to get a variety of paints.

English/Language Arts

Word Joust is another app from the creators of Edmodo that tests students vocabulary skills in a variety of ways.

There are actually two apps, Word Joust K-5 and Word Joust 6-8. Both are technically iPhone apps, but they will work on a iPad just fine.

This app, Story Lines, from the creators of Edmodo turns your iPad into a creative writing tool. This app takes the classic telephone game and amps it up a couple of notches.

This app is perfect for a classroom full of iPads and even just one. This app could also be used in any discipline with a little creativity.

Math

Tiggly Chef: Preschool Math Cooking Game provides young learners with simple and fun explanations of the mathematical process.
