Arcademic Skill Builders

Arcademic Skill Builders is an educational website where students can play video games to reinforce basic math skills, language arts skills, vocabulary and thinking skills. The site has research-based and standards-aligned free educational games that are intended to engage, motivate, and help teach students. Students can play free multi-player and single-player games, choosing whether to play against other players or play alone.

The site states that students are completely safe while playing the games. In the multi-player games, if the student starts a 'private' game, then only players that know the password (created by the student) can join the game. All other players are not allowed to join that game. If the student starts a 'public' game, then any player from outside can join the game, but there is no contact between outside players and the student. Player ID's are not stored. Player names are monitored and inappropriate names created by a student are blocked.

Turn your student's love of video games into an educational experience at Arcademic Skill Builders.
