How can I integrate this into my classroom? I would recommend getting your kids to create a series of games related around a theme. For example if you were studying Antarctica you could have some word searches about famous explorers, some picture slide puzzles of glaciers and penguins maybe a hangman game about weather conditions. There is a multitude of games to choose from all you need to do is create a shared class blog or wiki space and let the kids upload their games and there you have an instant literacy session next week solving them all.

I have included a sample below of a ProProf game and you can access the site here.
