You can even save a game, come back later and continue - still with no need to register. This was for the very reason you describe. ElectroCity doesn’t require an email address to play.

Which is why I spent a small part of my Spring Break today playing several games of the entirely free ElectroCity. It’s a fabulous city building simulation created for the educational outreach program of Genesis Energy, the largest producer of energy in New Zealand. To be fair, I can’t take credit for discovering it, as I found it via a post on Larry Ferlazzo’s excellent ESL Blog.

In addition, for sites that don't actually require you to verify your email address by clicking on a confirmation code, I just make one up and it works fine. Larry Jim,

There are many temporary email addresses that disappear after five minutes.

In addition, for sites that don’t actually require you to verify your email address by clicking on a confirmation code, I just make one up and it works fine.

I looked at both of these games and they looked neat. They both required an email to play. My 5th graders don't have school emails and most don't have their own personal emails yet. How do you work around that? Jim Hi, I have a question for you. I looked at both of these games and they looked neat. They both required an email to play.
