Classroom Games publishes free educational games, interactive tools, and practical guidance for teachers and families. This Editorial Policy explains the principles we use to plan and maintain content and the standards we aim to apply as the website grows.
Purpose and audience
Our main editorial goal is to make everyday classroom activities easier to organize and explain. Articles should help readers understand a task, choose a suitable tool, prepare it, and adapt it for students with different needs.
We primarily write for teachers, tutors, teaching assistants, and parents who supervise learning. We use clear English, explain unfamiliar terms, and avoid implying that a classroom game is a guaranteed or officially approved solution.
Topic selection
We prioritize topics with a practical classroom use, such as short math practice, vocabulary review, equitable participation, discussion prompts, and group management. We may also publish explanations of how an interactive feature works and common troubleshooting advice.
Potential topics are assessed for usefulness, age suitability, accessibility needs, duplication with existing pages, and whether the underlying information can be checked. Not every suggestion becomes a published article or game.
Research and source quality
For factual claims, we prefer official government guidance, established education organizations, primary-source publications, standards bodies, and other relevant original references. We do not treat an unsupported blog claim as evidence simply because it appears in a search result.
When explaining a tool, direct inspection of its settings and behavior is more reliable than relying on promotional copy. We try to link to an authoritative source where it adds clarity, and we separate classroom tips or opinions from statements that can be objectively verified.
Writing and readability
Our content should use direct headings, short paragraphs, concrete examples, and instructions in the order readers need them. We aim to explain what a feature can and cannot do. Unnecessary jargon, exaggerated promises, sensational claims, and artificial urgency do not fit our editorial approach.
A guide should address the likely question near the beginning, then explain setup, classroom uses, limitations, privacy or safety considerations, and related resources where appropriate.
Interactive tool design and testing
For game releases and revisions, our intended review includes JavaScript syntax, input validation, typical button interactions, responsive layout, and correct scoring or random-selection behavior. Different features may need additional checks for keyboard access, touchscreens, printing, timekeeping, and assistive technologies.
Simulation or code checks do not always reveal browser-specific problems. We do not claim full independent accessibility certification or universal compatibility for every activity. We welcome practical bug reports through the Contact page.
Accuracy, fact-checking, and corrections
Before publication, we aim to check numbers, names, subject explanations, answer keys, and any external-policy claims against credible references or straightforward tests. Custom questions that teachers type into a game are controlled by the teacher and should be reviewed by that teacher.
Our Fact-Checking Policy explains preferred evidence. The Corrections Policy describes what happens when a reader reports an error and how material changes may be documented.
Use of automation and AI assistance
Technology, including AI-assisted drafting and code-generation tools, may support outlining, writing, debugging, formatting, and editing. Such tools can make mistakes, invent details, or produce code that works in one setting but not another.
We aim to assess important educational facts, policies, and tool behavior before treating outputs as reliable. The use of automation does not replace responsibility for content published on ClassroomGames.org. We do not describe AI-generated material as firsthand classroom experience unless it genuinely reflects a documented human experience.
Advertising and editorial independence
Advertising or commercial arrangements may be introduced in the future. We aim to keep paid placements distinguishable from educational content and to avoid allowing sponsorships to dictate factual conclusions or incorrect product claims.
If an affiliate link or sponsored recommendation appears, the relationship should be disclosed where relevant. Child-directed content requires particular care with third-party tracking and advertising. See our Children’s Privacy and Privacy Policy.
Content maintenance and reader feedback
Older activities may be updated to improve wording, correct errors, change settings, or reflect technical changes. We may remove material that is obsolete, unsafe, or no longer supportable. Publishing dates and update labels should not be changed merely to make content look new without substantive revision.
Readers can report broken games, unhelpful explanations, sources that no longer support a claim, or content that is not accessible. Email contact@classroomgames.org and identify the page and issue. For general support, use Contact Us.
