Review Game Zone

The Site: http://www.reviewgamezone.com/

Basics: This is a site where you can create quizzes or tests and the students can choose one of 10 games that they want to play as part of the test.  They will answer a question correctly and then they get to play a quick game.

Examples(There are some adds on the intial page):

Remember to scroll down the page because some of the adds say "play now for free" but, they will take you to another site.

Test Kitchen: I used this site with my kids during summer school and they loved it.  It amazing how easy it is for kids to take a quiz when they are allowed to play a game at the same time.  Some of the games where more interesting than others and the favorite game was Outer Space Attackers.  It can take a long time to finish if you are good at it.

Helpful Hints: You can create a teacher account for free.  You don't have to have students create accounts. They can use your class access code and put in their first name or a code name (to protect their privacy) and you will be able to see what they have done in the program.  I have not used this feature but, it nice to have and not all sites have something like this.
