Description: Funbrain is an educational site for students that consists of free educational games, online books, and comics. Funbrain was created for ages pre-school through grade 8. This site offers more than 100 fun, interactive games that develop skills in math, reading, and literacy! Teachers encourage students to use Funbrain during their free time in class to help build on what they have learned in class and gain new skills.
Educational Uses: This site will definitely be used in my future classroom. How it can be used in a classroom setting is during centers especially when you’re working with guided reading groups. During center time, students can access this site and continue building on their skills.
Content Standards: On Funbrain there are games for pre-school to 8th grade. Like stated before, there are games that help develop skills in math, reading and literacy. Depending on the content standard you are teaching, you can find a game that best fits the standard or find games that hit the standards you’ve already covered for review.
Assessment: Within my classroom, this would not be a way I would assess my students because there is not a way to see students scores on the site. This site would simply be used for reviewing content area that has been covered.
Value of Funbrain: It is very educational. During my student teaching, my students used this site during centers and loved playing the games. On the site, you can choose games based on the appropriate grade level and what subject area you want. It’s very easy to navigate!
Here’s a peek at the fun interactive site!
