Plays.org: Learning through play

Sometimes the simplest way to introduce a new concept, practise something we have already learned or give students a short change of pace is to turn it into a game. 

Plays.org is a large collection of free browser-based games, and although the website is not exclusively educational, it includes a substantial section devoted to learning games that can be useful in the classroom. The main advantage is its simplicity: the games can be played directly in a web browser, without installing an app or additional software, and they are designed to work across computers, tablets and mobile devices.

The educational section brings together games covering areas such as mathematics, spelling, vocabulary, reading, phonics, numbers, shapes, science and basic health. There are very simple activities for younger learners, such as recognising numbers, identifying shapes or matching body parts, alongside more challenging games involving mental arithmetic, mathematical operations, word formation, logic and problem solving.
