Fun games for knowledge

All the games that you find on helpfulgames has been created with this in mind:

  1. Be pedagogical – All our games will teach the student a knowledge or ability. To succeed with that our games need to be educationally designed.
  2. Be stimulating – The child should feel that a moment of gameplay is rewarding – both intellectually and emotionally.
  3. Appeal children at different levels of education – All people evolve at different speed. All children will all be able to play our game on Helpful Games no matter how far the pupils have come in their own development.
  4. Be a complement to lessons and homework books from teachers. Ordinary homework is a cornerstone of teaching, but it might be nice to alternate this with teaching in the form of games sometimes.
  5. Be funny! – Children must feel that it is fun to learn with our games for increased knowledge.

For us at Helpful Games, it is important that our games are of high quality from a pedagogical perspective. The best help to accomplish this comes from all you teachers who contribute with comments and suggestions. Good knowledge games can always be improved. With your input, our game becomes even better! Sometimes the questions in the games are complemented or adjusted, but sometimes the whole game is revised. It’s not often, but it is always because the child’s development always comes first in mind.
