Skydiver
A great game for developing literacy and subject-specific
vocabulary. An anagram-based game, students see the
answer jumbled at the bottom of the screen. Will all
questions be answered in time to open the parachute?
Safari Hangman
The classic game of hangman but given an animated,
colorful twist. Students click on the letters to guess the
word. Each wrong letter brings dinner time for the lion
a little bit closer.
Interactive Wordsearch
Wordsearches have always been popular within schools
but really have very limited real educational value - until
now! Students must match the clue to the list of possible
answers and then find the word in the letter grid.
Zombie Boxing
In this exciting game students battle the undead by
answering quiz questions. Based on a hangman engine,
students must type the letters they think will be in the
answer to win the fight.
Cattle Collector
Multiple-choice quizzes and tests have never been
this fun! Students fly their UFO around the American
plains abducting cattle as they go. Questions must be
answered correctly to power the UFO.
