I have a five year old daughter and have started to teach her computers at home. I am starting off with Knoppix. She loves the Potato Guy Game. I want to teach her about word processors and spreadsheets rather than Word and Excel.

can anyone suggest any good packages for the agegroup around 5-7 years? I am planning to start weekly sessions for my nephews also now.

IMHO teaching kids linux is not about computers and software. It also helps them to take the crap dished out of news papers, TV and companies with a healthy pinch of salt.

It makes them independent, discerning and responsible citizens.
