<p>Type into google - random activity generator.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've used this to great effect.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It get's students to research a topic and then report/"perform" their finding as a rap or love letter, or train station announcement, This list goes on!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great fun, but it also encourages independant study!</p>

<p>Hi Erica,</p>
<p>I have seen an excellent outcome lesson when the students made a game themselves to play in class against each other. Working in pairs (to hel develop collaboration skills) students had to prepare 6 multichoice answer questions (4 possible answers) that were then combined to make a whole test on the normally boring subject of 'health and safety'.</p>

<p>It worked really well!!</p>

<p>There is a game called Refraction to help kids understand the concept of fractions and play with equivalent fractions by dividing laser beams to meet the specification on the screen to power little rocket ships. I got hooked on it myself. I think it is from the University of Washington. But if you google "refraction" you will find it.</p>

<p>The only video game I have used is Just Dance in my PE class. It depends on the size of the class but if you have a projector screen it is pretty easy to use. They don't need the controller to follow along. You can play too, it's pretty fun!</p>

<p>I've never used video games but have an iPad that I use where many of the apps that my students use are educational with a "gaming feel." I also use a lot of interactive online games like "Arcademic Skill Builders" which I highly recommend if you've never visited this site. It has a great interface, it's motivational and has an academic purpose. Hope this helps!</p>
