Contains free games for a broad range of skills. Games are fun and engaging. I let my students play their choice of these games as an anchor activity if they’re done early. There are a lot of geography games/interactive worksheets. These aren’t games that will teach your students though, they have to know the material and then be allowed to test their knowledge with the games.

Teachers can download a classroom version of the program for free. You can have up to 20 kids on one program download. It is good for reading in levels preK thru 2nd. There are many different lessons for each student to do. They go through phonics, comprehension, contractions, etc. Kids can work at their own pace and on their own level. My students really enjoy it.
