Room Recess - Tried It Tuesday

It's been awhile since I've linked up with Holly @ Fourth Grade Flipper for Tried It Tuesday. Not that I haven't tried anything, but not anything I felt like I needed to post on my blog.

A couple of days ago, I received an email request to share the website Room Recess. I decided to try it out. 

Since, I am teaching 2nd grade Math this year, I decided to try the Math games.
First game - Zombie Paintball.

Pick your paintball color, then hurl it at the zombie that is wearing the number that completes the pattern. After several correct hits, ghosts came flying overhead. I was asked to name the rule for the pattern. I was playing the 2nd grade level. I knew the rule and the number for the pattern, but was not as coordinated as a 2nd grader to hit the ghost. They will.

Next game - Snowball Fight

We don't get to throw too many snowballs in South Texas, so this was fun. Plus I got to nail the bully. Very therapeutic! 

This is an example of addition, but you can choose all of the operations, plus mixed addition/subtraction, mixed multiplication/division, and all four operations.

Third game - Block Buster

Reminds me of playing Tetris. Students get to practice fact families.

Final game - Tic Math Toe

"Do you want to play a game?" [Anyone remember War Games?]
This game is for 1 or 2 players. Choose a grade level. I played against the computer and won!

These are just the first 4 Math games. There are 6 more available, including Alien Addends, Missile Mania, Cheese Race, Flash Card Races, Pizzeria Park, and Coin$ for Candy.

Don't worry Language Arts teachers! There are, also, Word, Reading, and Matching games.

Disclaimer: I received no compensation for this post. These are my opinions after playing the games.  It was created by Brian King, a 3rd grade teacher in Indiana. All games are free and educational. I would recommend you give it a try.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for PMA Wednesday!
