An oldie but a goodie - Freerice is an educational online game that helps kids with Vocabulary, Maths - including Times Tables and Basic Maths - along with a wide range of extra categories, such as: Flags, Countries, Ancient History, Movies, Quotations, Chemical Symbols, Biology, Languages, Foods of the World, Current Affairs....
For
each correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated to feed people dealing with
famine in Third World countries through the United Nations World Food
program.
The best part? The game is self-levelling so it adjusts to the level the kids are working at, but keeps making it a little more challenging to increase their capabilities, without making it so hard that they don't want to do it. I realise that many of the subjects probably sound out of the park for a lot of our kids - but because it adjusts to their level, it isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

This could be useful in most learning areas - maybe a class competition? Teams to compete against each other? Hmm - maybe a teacher competition?? 😉
Check
it out when you get a moment.
