Super Teacher Tools is a great site with lots of really fun and useful tools for the classroom. Most of the activities are made in Flash and can be downloaded or played online. The great thing is you can customize each activity to your own learning objectives by adding your own questions and answers. Have teams of students play “Jeopardy” or “Who wants to be a Millionaire” using your own subject questions and points.

Game Classroom

Game Classroom is a one-stop web destination for accessing high-quality educational games, and homework help for K-6 students:

We scoured the web for the best and most trustworthy games, and conveniently sorted them according to skill, topic and grade level.
We spent thousands of hours creating an abundance of interactive content for parents to better understand the building blocks behind their child’s development.
We created a comprehensive, free homework help section for parents/teachers to provide to children including learning tips, online resources and sample problems.

All of Game Classroom’s educational content has been created by professional educators with over 200 years of teaching experience, and has been outlined using state educational standards. We hope you (and your kids) enjoy Game Classroom and find it a fun place to learn and play games!
