I don't know how I feel about Classcraft. Is it a way to make school more exciting or is it a way to make games more boring. Or both? Or neither? I dont know, but it certainly is interesting!

Nik Peachey's insight:
This is an interesting game which gives students a selection of multiple choice questions about grammar and they then choose how much they want to gamble that they are correct. When they have finished they can see how they scored on a scoreboard.

Using grammar correctly could be challenging may be not for those who are English native speaker, but surely for those who learn English from scratch.
