Holiday time is a great time for online games. Seasonal games are fun and they can be a great part of the holiday season. My severely autistic girl likes to play Christmas games with her Auntie when she comes to visit for the winter holidays. Halloween is her favorite holiday, too, so naturally, I have mostly Halloween and Christmas games and some fun fireworks games, below.

If you need help getting your kids comfortable with online tools or just need suggestions for something new, the below information may be helpful to you.

New Years, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day - Fireworks
I like to show these to my severely autistic daughter before the holiday that will have my neighbors setting off fireworks, so I can prepare her for the noise and give her pretty imagery to go along with the sounds of explosions. There are several apps and several on line games for this - here are a few:

Click the matching color Fireworks for points

Halloween
Sesame Street started my girl's love of Halloween. Here are some links to some of the media that delight us at Halloween time each year.

Garfield Scary Scavenger Hunt
Garfield Scary Scavenger Hunt 2
What Shall we be for Halloween Song (my girl's favorite)
Puzzles and more - not all these games work but this one is fun

Christmas
I did a large, comprehensive list of Christmas games and I try to keep it up to day. It is easier for me to do that on Facebook, but honestly, I got afraid that they would some day delete the page, so I pasted a copy of the list here. I stilli nclude the link, so you can check it for recent additions and updates that didn't make it back here yet.

I also want to say that getting the perfect holiday card is so much easier with Jib Jab. I can use any smiling picture of my kids to make a sweet holiday card that I can share via email or social media - and I don't have to make myself crazy trying to get the perfect holiday photo. That makes my life a whole lot easier.

 

My kids love their computer time, and it's nice (particularly over the winter break) to give them some new, seasonal links to explore and enjoy.  We've collected the following links over the years - I hope your family enjoys them as much as we do!

Happy Holidays, from my family and EasySocialStories.com
