Where’s Waldo at the Circus? http://www.warneractive.com/Imagination_Pilots/Waldo/Docs/wwb.html A game to play with the famous Waldo is found at this fun site. Children go through a story searching for Waldo. It moves fairly quickly, for an online game. It has good visual discrimination work for young children. Reading is required to understand the story and directions so it is a good game for parents and children to share. |
