ABC Ya! has updated their site to include upper elementary. You can click on the appropriate grade level for the menu available. The new games and activities are a good way to supplement academic skills–especially for English Language Learners!
This site has all the necessary resources to successfully deploy iPads in the classroom. There is even an ‘iPad Acceptable Use Policy” you could adjust to your own needs. I love everything in one place, and this website has it all!
