This FAQ explains how ClassroomGames.org works, what the current activities offer, and how teachers can prepare a classroom session. If you cannot find an answer, email contact@classroomgames.org or use our Contact page.
Are the classroom games free?
The public games currently listed in our Games directory are available to play without paying a game-access fee. You do not need to purchase a subscription to use the listed activities. Normal internet and device costs may still apply.
If a future feature involves a different arrangement, we should disclose that before someone uses or buys it. Our current games include quizzes, reading activities, a wheel spinner, timers, and other classroom tools.
Do teachers or students need accounts?
No student account is needed to use the current browser-based games. Teachers generally open a game URL, configure settings, and start playing. There is no student dashboard, public profile, or in-game chat service for these activities.
Some tools accept typed student or group names for classroom use. You can use initials or team labels instead. See the Privacy Policy and Children’s Privacy for important limits on what may be processed by the broader website.
How do I find games for a particular subject?
Open the All Games page and use its search field or category filter. You can look for mathematics, reading and vocabulary, or general classroom management and discussion games.
For math, try the Math Challenge or Memory Match. For words, try Sight Word Flashcards or Word Scramble. The Teacher Resources page suggests lesson uses by goal.
Can I make my own quizzes and vocabulary games?
Yes. The Quiz Generator accepts custom multiple-choice questions in a simple text format. Enter the question, the correct answer, and three distinct wrong answers on each line, using the separator explained on that page.
The Word Scramble accepts a custom vocabulary list, and the Bingo Generator makes printable boards from your words. You should proofread any custom content before using it with students.
Can I print bingo cards or teams?
The Bingo Generator includes a print option and lets you use the browser’s Save as PDF function. It needs at least 24 unique entries for a 5 by 5 card with a free center square.
The Team Generator can also print team assignments. Check print preview before sending to a school printer, since page margins, fonts, and printer settings can change the layout.
How do random name and team selection work?
The Name Picker takes names from a list and selects without repeating someone until the round is complete. The Team Generator assigns unique entries among two to ten groups while keeping group sizes within one person of each other.
A randomized grouping is not necessarily ideal for every lesson or every student. Teachers should make adjustments when needed for safety, accessibility, language support, or student relationships.
Will my progress and lists still be there after refreshing?
Several current tools operate entirely in the open browser page and do not save a lasting account record. Refreshing or closing a page may reset timers, game scores, or typed lists. Copy important classroom questions and vocabulary lists into your own secure document before leaving.
A printed bingo card or PDF you save to your computer is different from data stored by the game. If you need long-term storage, use an appropriate school-approved system and follow its privacy rules.
Do the games work on mobile devices, Chromebooks, and projectors?
The interfaces are designed to be responsive and use standard browser controls, so many work on common modern laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and phones. A classroom projector normally displays the connected device’s browser, while touch or mouse controls work according to that device.
Compatibility can vary by device, browser, network restrictions, or cached JavaScript. If an activity looks wrong, reload the page, update the browser if your school permits, and try a private window or a different device. Report persistent problems with the exact URL to contact@classroomgames.org.
Why is a button not working?
Most game controls need JavaScript enabled in the browser. School filters, browser extensions, cached files, or a temporary website problem can interfere with a game. Check whether the page is fully loaded, then reload once and try again.
If the issue continues, include the page URL, the button label, what you entered, and your browser type in your report. Avoid sharing student names or private information in screenshots. Our Contact page explains what helps us investigate.
Are the games suitable for children under 13?
Some games can be used with younger students, but teachers and parents must decide what is age-appropriate and supervise as needed. The website does not require child profiles for the currently published games. Technical site requests may still involve network identifiers.
Read our Children’s Privacy and Privacy Policy. A school should not assume a website is approved by its district simply because it is free or does not require an account.
What if a learner cannot use a particular activity?
For movement games, allow pointing or response cards instead of physical movement. For visual tasks, offer a spoken explanation, larger text, or a printed alternative. For students who need more time, change the timer or use an untimed game.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. If a button is not keyboard-accessible or an activity does not work with assistive technology, see our Accessibility Statement and email us the details.
How can I suggest a game or report an incorrect answer?
Send suggestions and bug reports to contact@classroomgames.org. Identify the exact URL, the question or control, your expected result, and what happened. You may include a reliable reference if you are reporting an inaccurate factual claim.
Our Corrections Policy and Fact-Checking Policy explain how we review such reports.
