What are some free fun educational computer games for 5th through 8th graders? The title asks the question. I run a computer lab and need some new educational computer games for my students. They have to be free. They can be puzzles, word games, word searches, math games, building games (like civilization), etc. I'd prefer that they were websites but they can also be programs too. My students are getting bored with what I have on the computers, so if anyone can list a few and where to get them I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Word games/puzzles for brain exercises? I'm trying to put together a good puzzle packet for us girls at work to do during downtime and have a license plate puzzle and a vocal word puzzle. What I am looking for a other suggestions. Also, I have seen before a good word puzzle that I have no idea how I would search this but has a series of words to equal the answer. It's not like Mad Gab where you say several words to equal one word/phrase. This has if I remember correctly somewhat of a phrase or equation type to come up with the word (I believe the answer was that of a person or thing). I hope someone on here can decipher what it is I'm looking for because it's very hard to explain. Thanks in advance, any other game/puzzle suggestions are welcome too.

How best to search a long list in Actionscipt? Firstly a little introduction; I am using Flash to make a 'word search' type game similar to word mole on the Blackberry. I have already found a list of all of the words I want, currently in the form of a text file with each word on a new line. My list of words is in alphabetical order and fully capitalised (case doesn't matter). Now, the user will select some characters to create a word and I require the program to search the list and try to find the entered word, the user's entry must match an entire line (or field if put into a database). The only way I can find to do this with a .txt file is to label each and every line with variable1=... variable2=... etc etc, which just isn't practical. And I imagine it will take a ridiculously amount of time to search through. Can you think of any more efficient way to do this? Or is there an easy way to make a simple portable database which I could put the words into? Cheers. SeeYouLater_Zee: That actually looks very promising, cheers. Hadn't actually started the program yet so will whip something together now and see how it works.. Absolutely brilliant thanks, I love you.
What is a fun Xbox game or Xbox 360 game that me and my girlfriend can play together? She has no experience... She is not good at video game and she does not want to play complex games such as rpg games or sports games or shooters. We enjoy playing simpler games together. So far we have played Double Dragon and TMNT on the XBOX live arcade. Those were simple enough for her to play since they use only 2 buttons to play. We also had some fun playing the word search game on XBLA. Can you name 4 or 5 fun games on either Xbox 360 or regular Xbox that are simple and easy to play?
Help. Need holiday games leading up to Dec 25 for a small office.? Last year I did a game a week leading up to Christmas - crossword (with office and employee clues), word search, internet scavenger hunt and then an M&M jar (to guess the amount). Every game they completed put their names in a pot for gifts. Then we did the big gift giveaway and they got to choose out of the pile of gifts. They were $20-30 gifts. Not too bad, but not too exciting. Anyway, should I just do the same thing or any ideas for something better?

Could you advise a new substitute on activities/games to have on hand if students aren't provided enough work? Here's my situation. I just graduated with my MA in teaching at the end of June and I'm certified to teach secondary (grades 8-12) language arts/English. Because I wasn't able to get an actual teaching position, I'll be substitute teaching for this next school year starting next week. I'm not completely inexperienced in the classroom. When I was student teaching, I was teaching in the same classroom three days a week for the whole school year, so I'm familiar with the preparation of lesson plans. I'm just worried since, as a substitute in my district, 90% of the time I won't know what grade I'll be substituting for until that very morning, so there will be no preparation of plans. As long as the teacher leaves them work, it should be fine. I guess what I'm asking for are some general sites or something that may help for having activities on hand. For example, age/grade-appropriate word searches, crossword puzzles, etc. I'd also like any other advice or tips you have to offer. I should also mention that I'm certified to substitute for grades K-12. I'm not experienced in having children in the classroom under 9th grade, so I'm mostly wondering about things to do for them (games, activities, books to read aloud, etc).

Baby shower games for a classy party? We're throwing my aunt a baby shower. It's her third, and a girl. I would love to play all kinds of fun games, like "bob for binkies" and "what candy bar is in the diaper" but there's going to be a lot of older people there. I don't have enough time to explain, but my family is really weird, and we have to cater to the older people. The party is going to be really classy, but there's going to be a lot of people so I'd like to have several games and more winners. We do have a very large plastic bottle that we've stuffed with pink cotton balls and everyone has to guess how many are in there. And we have some word search things that came in a little kit. But that's pretty much it. Any suggestions are welcome!!
HELP: word won't save, msn games get script errors, and yahoo games say "#stayhere"? About a month ago my laptop worked fine, but i moved away from home and didn't get my laptop back until now. Now I can't save anything in word - i click the icon or "save as" in the file menu, and nothing happens. Also I can't play msn games .. they keep coming up with a script error in line 155. Finally I now can't play any yahoo games ... when i click on a lounge, nothing happens and the url at the bottom of the page says "#stayhere" at the end. I don't know what's wrong since i obviously didn't change any settings since i didn't use my laptop. I already tried searching for answers on yahoo answers and online. But nothing is working. I tried system restore, reinstalling all of the programs mentioned, updated java, doing spyware and virus scans, trying backdoors for yahoo games, unclicking "show every script error" in internet options etc. I'm at a complete loss. Please help! I have disabled my pop up blocker plus the internet explorer one. I have also tried the cntrl thing when i click on a room, but it won't let me go anywhere. It stays at the exact same page.

the most vague game search ever? I don't really remember much. Verrry old game. They used to have it on all of the school computers back in the elementary grades until the board decided it was "distracting". That and rattler race. Yeah. Really all I remember is that it was a very basic platform game, and in it you could chose from a boy or girl character, and that I feel like the title had the word "apple" in it... like apple boy or something. Obviously a google search is fail, you know, considering the whole birth of apple. Any help much appreciated.

Do you know any good baby shower games? I'm having a baby shower for my sister-in-law. Got any ideas for some fun games. I want something that can be done on paper, or something that wouldn't be embarrassing to stand up and do. Most often people are too shy to stand up to do anything. I also want something different. I've searched sites for 2 days and they all have the same games. I'm looking for something unique that you have played and thought was fun. We've done the word finds, the legs crossed games, the baby animals, the baby names. GIVE ME SOMETHING UNIQUE. Oh, the baby is supposed to be a boy if that helps any. Thanks!!!
Any games like this one?...? When I was looking for safe games for my little sister to play, I came across a game called "The Endless Forest". It's pretty boring for me, but my little sister loves it. And it's completely safe...you're a deer, with no goals or quests, in a magical forest. You can also shapeshift and weird stuff like that. Hah. Anyway, she loves it. So that's good...and before she starts getting bored with that game and starts searching other games, I want to find one just like it. Only different...if that makes any sense! In other words, a game that's safe for a 10 year old. Like, you're an animal running free or something. Weird, I know. But she likes it and that's what matters! So if you guys can tell me of a game like that PLEASE tell me! I would appreciate it more than you can imagine. Thank you!!! P.S. Oh yeah, and any size download is fine!
