Labelling Activities

Crickweb — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:04:42 +0000

Just received a question regarding not being able to access some of the Labelling Activities from Connie Katz. Unfortunately the return email address was incorrect so I thought I'd post the info here, for her and anyone else with a similar problem. You should just be able to click the image and the activity opens in a new window or tab. Maybe there is some sort of pop-up blocker enabled and stopping them opening. Here's a list of direct links for all the ones in English :

Two more Fun Games

Crickweb — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:58:04 +0000

We have just added a version of the classic game Frogger
and another shape/colour/matching game Znax.

Inappropriate Adverts

Crickweb — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:04:36 +0000

Unfortunately we're getting reports of unsuitable adverts appearing on the site.
It seems to be affecting mainly visitors from Australia and the U.S.A.
We are taking action to try to stop them appearing, but we can't see them here in the U.K.
Could you take a screen shot of the page with the ad in place so we can track down where it's coming from?
Send it to David

Anti Hot-linking Measures

Crickweb — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:20:57 +0000
