Have you ever scrambled to find a game or activity for your students to use to practice a particular skill? Mr. Nussbaum, created by a 6th grade teacher in Virginia, is home to dozens of free games, activities, and online stories that will solve that problem in no time.
When you enter the site, you can choose from casual games, academic games, online storybooks, and activities sorted by subject. The activities are colorful, engaging, and fun for students.
The games are labeled by grade level, but — as all teachers know — some students need remedial work, so consider those labels a suggestion. Some skills, like subtraction, are practiced in multiple games, so the site features a custom Google search to pinpoint activities for the lesson.
The games are formatted so they can be played on classroom computers, on an interactive whiteboard, or at home for independent practice. While there is a premium version of the site available, the free site offers all of the same games and activities, but with advertisements. The premium version includes teacher tools like a student manager and message boards.
