On Twitter, @TylerHall1978 suggested using the same setup to help older kids remember their periodic tables!
"expand on that idea, change the letter labels to chemical elements to help pre-teens learn chemistry."

I would like to say that in order to succeed in teaching children it is important to make educational process both interesting and enjoyable. Turn Duplo bricks are a suitable solution especially for kids. In some degree it can be concidered as an innovation.

What a fantastic idea. We're definitely going to do this with the Duplo bricks that my son thinks he has outgrown!!

Taking into account the fact that this blog is dedicated to children and puzzle games I just would like to ask opinions of experts what they think about such educational game as Kinder Hangman – http://sharkfuel.com/kinderhangman.html Is this game really so helpful for developing kids? I am a mother myself, so just would like to know if this game can help me repare kids for school? Any ideas?

Great idea! You may want to color code all of the vowels (red blocks, for example) so that kids see they need a vowel in every word they create.
