The games are: * The Republia Times - A game that typically takes 10 minutes or so, the student becomes the editor of a paper and has to curate the front page. * Papers, Please - In this game the student is an immigration officer in a ficticious country and must make decisions based on evidential arguments presented.

I use this often in my math classroom now. The most difficult task is to make sure that students understand the meaning behind it!

This is definitely the direction we need to go - many students have such a hard time connect the math they learn in class to the real world and this is a step in the right direction!

"English language learners fall into two categories — native speakers and those pursuing it via ESL/EFL instruction (or self-instruction!). But both demographics can build up their skills, no matter their age or proficiency, through game-based learning. The Internet, in its infinite providence, does not disappoint when it comes to hosting effective resources for teaching and reviewing the core components of the English language. Here’s a few particularly useful games or, more accurately in most cases, suites of games." There is a wide range of games suggested and you should be able to find ones available for students from elementary school through high school.
