I just played a version of Whack-a-Mole at http://www.playkidsgames.com/games/wam/wam.htm
Curriculum Connection: This game connects to younger curricula (Kindergarten and 1st grade). It reinforces learning the alphabet and letter recognition.
Game Overview: Basically, moles pop out of holes in the ground holding a sign with a letter on it. Players must whack moles with their mallets in alphabetical order, waiting for the next letter to pop up amid incorrect popping letters. While this game doesn't require any higher level thinking and I don't think is particularly academically appropriate for my 4th grade classroom, it was pretty fun to whack moles over the head with a mallet.
