I'm a 1st grade teacher.
I'm trying to make / find the best educational games and link them on my new site...

K12 Gamer

If you know of any good educational games you'd like for me to consider for my site...
please post a link here.
Note: All of the current games are from YoYoGames.com

Hello.
I guess your new to teach as your interests are "Hot chicks who play HALO".

If you know of any good educational games you'd like for me to consider for my site...please post a link here.

I saw that you got all your games from yoyogames sandbox. I would recommend you to get games from other places too, like Prongo (I haven't checked it out. I just googled it).
Also, if you know HTML (otherwise, learn it) you can make your own site. 000Webhost is a great host!

Good luck!

(DarkClower)...Thanks for the link...
I checked out some of the games on PRONGO.

They seem okay...but I think the YoYo ones are slightly better...

A few Advantages in YoYogames (compared to PRONGO)...
1) Full screen (Instead of surrounded by ads)

2) Games can be downloaded and played safely offline.

3) Animation that doesn't stutter like some flashtype games.

Note: I changed my interests to "Making Games."
Also...I don't know HTML yet...but I'll try to.

Oh right, the ads. I forgot about those.
Anyways, if you would like flash games later on you can download them from the site using some "magic" and then re-upload them to your site.
But if you want to use HTML without having to learn it in advance, you could "buy" Adobe Dreamweaver.
And do you know what? I know a really good math game on Yoyogames. Its called Math Magic, even though it's a bit childish i find myself playing it.
Btw, you should add a text telling the kids that they could download the game if the click download at the right side of the screen.

Once again, Good luck! :D

(Darkclower)...Sounds cool... I'm trying to make the words...FREE Download into a clickable button...
it's just that I still haven't figured out how.

Your Flash idea sounds good...I'll research and try to figure out how to do that too.

I'm also trying to figure out how to make multiple pages for the same game catagory...
example Page 2 for Arcade...The words Page 2 wouldn't appear until you put the
mouse pointer over the main heading "Arcade".

I tried Math Magic...I like the intro, graphics and the music. I wish it were full screen, had bigger
words (for the instructions)... and didn't start off so hard. Maybe it would be even cooler...if you didn't need
the keypad...and could instead use the mouse to click on a selection of answers that appeared on screen?

I used to have a site at webs.com back in the days when they where called freewebs.com.
I noticed that they've tried to make it more casual friendly. But instead it turned out more confusing than ever.
But it should be a small icon or something at the page where you write the text into your website.

As I said, they just made it more confusing. Anyhow, there is a relatively simple way to add sites somewhere in the panel.
Just look around a bit and you'll find it! (:

Yeah. The game is pretty old and will probably not be updated. It will also turn into a confusing mess later on, I just can't figure out why I didn't remember that...

[Mornez]

Just made a major update to the site...

Note: Hopefully if my site takes off...more YoYoGamers will start making educational games.
