What's Available?
On this site you will find more than just one or two games, we have categories of games for all types of classrooms.
1) Whole Class Games - These games are designed to involve the entire class at the same time. They are designed for use in a classroom setting where the teacher has their computer hooked up to a projector or large screen TV so that everyone in the class can view them at the same time. Play games like Big Board Facts (similar to Jeopardy) or Guess Louie (similar to Pyramid Show) and get your whole class involved.
2) Individual Games - These games are designed to used in a one computer to one student environment. All you have to do is input your questions, and the template has built in many games around them. As the student answers your questions the mini games get harder.
3) Games Requiring No Preparation - Some of the downloadable templates are fully functional ready to play, you just grab your vocabulary or review questions and put the game up on the screen.
4) Board Games and Bingo - Make your own personalized board games using templates in Microsoft Word, or make your own bingo game in minutes using excel templates.
