The Opposites
Do you know what efficacious means? Just what exactly is the opposite of 'bear'? Find out with The Opposites, an exciting word game which challenges children (ages 7+) to match up pairs of opposing words before the screen is filled.
Opposites starts with easy word pairs, like 'up-down', but as players level up they are challenged with more complex and abstract pairings, until they are dealing with rare descriptive and technical words, from biology, economics, politics, medicine, poetry and classical Greek prefixes!
LEARNING GOALS:
• Expanding vocabulary.
• Understanding the importance of word context.
• Reading, writing and oral literacy skills.

Bugsy's Math Quest
Bugsy's Math Quest is a math drill adventure game that aims to help children master basic multiplication and division operations. We believe that drill games are beneficial because they have the potential to help kids strengthen their mental math skills, enabling them to stop using their fingers and other props to perform basic math calculations.
Math sheets and flashcards are still widely used in classrooms all over the world, and they have proven to enhance basic arithmetic skills. With Bugsy's Math Quest, we applied basic gaming principles to entertain, engage, and motivate students to practice math. We hope to enable children to increase their mental math speed and accuracy without them even knowing it!
