There are plenty of sites with links to great educational resources for teachers - lesson plans, worksheets, assessments,... But there are remarkably few lists of great resources for kids! There should be, so here it is.

This sites are in no particular order. Resources must be about interesting stuff that don't need a teacher to explain. Activities for self-directed learning.
