Classroom games
Classroom games — free, with no ads and no sign-up
16 free games, playable right now in your browser.
These are picked for what a lesson or a free period can use. The typing test gives words per minute and accuracy. Daily Atlas is one country a day, found from distance and direction. Number Rush is sixty seconds of mental arithmetic. The crossword, word search, word ladder and hangman work on vocabulary and spelling, and sudoku, nonogram, Shikaku and chess are pure reasoning. The daily puzzles are the same for everyone on the same date, so a class can compare results.
For a teacher, what is missing matters more. The games carry no adverts and have nothing to buy. There are no accounts, so no student gives a name or an email, and no chat or messaging between players. Each game runs in the browser on a Chromebook, a tablet or a shared computer with nothing to install, and keeps working offline once opened. Schools and libraries may also put any game on their own page for free.
