Sample Integrations

I am going to give some examples on how to integrate educational games into each subject just by using funbrain.com

Language Arts: If teaching students about different parts of speech, there is a fun game that is called pre-historic mad libs where students make their own story by entering nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Students could have fun making silly stories while learning their parts of speech.

Math: If teaching basic math skills to students, Math Baseball, is a fun game for students to play. The pitch, or the question, is thrown and then the students have to enter the answer and the game decides if the hit is a single, double, triple, or home-run!

Science: When doing a weather unit, funbrain.com has a game called Weather Dog. The dog is looking out for bad weather. A sentence is given to the player, and he/she needs to fill in the blank with a weather word.

These are just three games out of a million that teachers can use in their lessons!
