ProProfs Brain Games lets you create simple online games for your class without expending much time or effort. The game varieties include crosswords, word finds, jigsaw puzzles, and so on. Not super-complex, but perfect for test reviews and elementary classrooms.
ProProfs does the hard work of configuring the puzzles themselves, meaning you just have to come up with questions and answers. So if you’ve got a bunch of vocabulary words you want your students to learn, consider putting them in a crossword format to make the exercise a little more entertaining. Instead of a pop quiz, maybe create a series of Brain Teasers. These games are easy ways to make standard classroom procedure a little more interactive (and a little less work).
