Questions teachers ask
Frequently asked questions
What are educational games?
Educational games are games designed so that playing them practices a skill or reviews content, such as math facts, spelling, vocabulary, science ideas or teamwork. In the classroom they work best when every student is answering, not waiting for a turn.
Are these educational games free?
Yes. Every online game, tool and game guide on classroom-games.net is free, with no account for teachers or students.
What are good educational games for kids online?
Our Quiz Show, Guess the Word, Memory Match and the live quiz (students join on their phones) are all free educational games you can play online with your class. Each one lets you use your own questions or words.
Which educational games work without devices?
Four Corners, Around the World, Sparkle, Hot Seat and most of our classroom game guides need no devices at all. The online board games also run on one teacher screen.
How do I make a game educational?
Attach every turn to a question from your lesson, keep turns short so everyone plays, and give quick feedback. Most of our games include variations that turn them into review for any subject.
