Accurate information matters in educational activities, even when a website is free and designed for informal practice. This policy describes how Classroom Games aims to verify claims, examples, answers, and technical explanations.
What we check
- Educational facts: numbers, definitions, dates, scientific explanations, word meanings, and examples used in articles or game prompts.
- Answer keys: whether the answer displayed as correct follows the stated question and its constraints.
- Tool logic: whether scoring, timers, random selection, resetting, card matching, and question progression behave as described.
- Privacy and legal explanations: whether summaries of external rules are grounded in current official material.
- Source citations: whether linked documents support the specific claims they are cited for.
Preferred information sources
When possible, we refer to the original publisher of an educational standard, policy, or rule. Examples include government departments, recognized standards organizations, subject-matter reference materials, and primary documents.
For technical claims, first-hand testing of the relevant game version is valuable. For language and age-level questions, editorial judgment is informed by established guidance and the context of the learner. We avoid relying on a single unsourced assertion when the point is important or contested.
How game answers are checked
We aim to verify fixed example questions and the code that evaluates them. A math game should calculate the correct result for the generated operands and operations. A word-matching activity should pair the intended prompt with the intended answer. A quiz should handle answer order and scoring correctly.
Custom question lists, vocabulary sets, team labels, and poll prompts entered by visitors are not independently reviewed by the website. Teachers are responsible for proofreading their own prompts and ensuring they suit the students who will see them.
Randomization and technical limits
Games involving dice, team assignment, names, or wheels use general browser-based randomization. The output can be tested for expected ranges, duplicates, valid selections, and stated behavior, but normal classroom testing does not establish cryptographic randomness or mathematical proof of perfect fairness.
In technology reviews, we distinguish a JavaScript syntax check from a manual browser interaction test. We also distinguish a simulated test from checking how real browsers, screen readers, or school-managed devices behave.
Current information and changes over time
Web browser behavior, regulations, plugin versions, and educational references can change. When a claim depends on a date or a current rule, we aim to confirm the applicable version rather than assume an older description still applies.
Some articles may become outdated after publication. We prioritize corrections that affect children’s safety, privacy, essential instructions, incorrect educational answers, or a tool’s core functionality. See our Corrections Policy.
Disputed facts and uncertainty
Not every educational practice has one universally correct method. Different curricula and classrooms may use different approaches. Where evidence is limited, we aim to identify that uncertainty instead of presenting a preference as an established fact.
We should distinguish a verifiable factual error from a pedagogical preference. If credible sources disagree, we aim to represent the meaningful distinction fairly and avoid false precision.
How to submit a factual correction
Email contact@classroomgames.org with the URL, the exact statement or game result, your proposed correction, and a supporting source or short explanation. If you can reproduce a technical error, list the steps and browser or device involved.
We review reports in context and may update the content, clarify a claim, add a source, or leave a statement unchanged with an explanation. For accessibility-related reports, also see the Accessibility Statement.
Relationship to our editorial standards
This policy supports the broader Editorial Policy, which covers topic selection, clarity, independence, and automated assistance. It does not mean that every page has received a third-party audit or specialist certification.
We aim to correct verified errors and learn from patterns in reader feedback. For the current collection of activities, browse the Games directory.
