I actually tried playing the Free Rice game. Not only is it a great way to donate rice to end hunger, but I thought it was a good learning tool that can be incorporated in the classroom. Students can work on exercises ranging from English to Chemistry. I also really liked how the questions answered incorrectly were repeated so students may be able to review and learn from their mistakes. Mara Andrada, University of Guam (Audiovisual) Hello Larry,

I had a wonderful time reading your descriptions and posts about your 12 online education games of the year and gaining greater knowledge about online educational games. I never really learned about online educational games until I enrolled into ED-451, which is an audio visual class at the University of Guam. I found it great that the FREE RICE game donates rice to every answer each student answered correctly. It was very helpful to look at the different games on your list and compare them and get ideas on how great educational games are suppose to look like. I am grateful for the list and descriptions you have shared with all of us and will definitely use it as a tool in my classroom. Sincerely, Laura Cruz from the University of Guam Hi Larry,

I especially appreciate your list including an English game since I am soon to be an English teacher at the high school level. Also, in my Audio-visual education class my group and I came across a website chalk full of free educational online games ranging from Us History, World history, English grammar and vocabulary builders to many others. The website is http://www.sheppardsoftware.com Do check it out as I hope you will be entertained as well as you could possibly include it on your future list. Thanks and keep on doing what you do.

Where I run into frustration is in finding ESL friendly sites for my kindergarten class. They cannot read or write. They only learn to count to 20 during the first part of the year - that level of skill. Is there a site you can recommend that will give me online tools for the 5-6 year old student? I enjoy your list but as I laboriously test each one out, I find it won't work for the younger kids. Larry

I just thought you could more creative and fun games at the other two sites I listed. Larry Vera,
