Handwriting Practice Worksheets in Print Manuscript and Cursive Script

We have created hundreds of new printable handwriting worksheets for this school year. They come in both print manuscript and cursive script writing fonts.

We've got months of the year, days of the week, presidents of the United States, motivational sayings, famous quotes, individual children's first names, and much more.

Let's face it--most kids need a lot of handwriting practice. And once you're through with the ABCs and simple words like "apple," there isn't much out there in the marketplace for primary school teachers. Our free handwriting worksheets fill the gap.

Tip: If you have trouble fitting extended writing practice into your daily schedule, try using our worksheets as morning or after-lunch starters. As the kids enter the classroom and put away their things, they each pick up a handwriting worksheet to start working on. This helps to get the kids quiet and focused right away.

You can begin browsing and printing/downloading our free printable handwriting worksheets for kids here. Don't forget to look around at all of the other great printables we have been working on for you!

Attendance Forms and Student Sign-in Sheets

We absolutely love the standard classroom attendance books. The trouble is that they are hard to find, expensive, etc. We have a DIY (Do It Yourself) version of the standard classroom attendance book, with pages you print yourself. We also have various student sign-in sheets that are terrific for daily use, using with subs, or having kids use during group meetings, study halls, detentions, etc. Click here to browse our selection of classroom attendance forms and student sign-in sheets.

Classroom Proficiency Test Prep

Are you looking for fun ways to prepare for tests in the classroom? If you have a SmartBoard or projector attached to your computer or laptop, preparing as a class just got easier. We have numerous chapter-specific and topic-specific online quizzes in a variety of formats that you can use with students in many different ways.

Our ENERGY SAVER quizzes operate just like old-fashioned Hangman. At the top, there is a question or a sentence with a blank space. Below is the energy box. Below this is the alphabet. At the bottom, there is one space for each letter of the answer or missing term. Students guess letters that they believe are part of the answer. When they guess incorrectly, the energy supply is depleted. These are great on a SmartBoard for playing as a class, or individually in the computer lab. If you have a classroom blog or webpage, you can link students directly to quizzes and games that they can do at home.

SILVERLIGHT MULTIPLE-CHOICE is a multiple-choice testing format which presents each question individually, rather than all questions on a single screen. Many of these questions incorporate visual elements, common on state regents and proficiency exams.

PLAYTIME is a two-player or two-team multiple-choice game that has a Vegas vibe to it. Each player pulls the lever to receive a question. The player with the biggest winnings is the winner.

MULTIPLE-CHOICE quizzes are created in a single-page format. These can be done as a group. They are excellent tools for individual students to use when studying for a test or exam.

FLASH CARDS have gone digital! Read the card, then answer it aloud or in your head. Flip it over to see if you were right. Track how many correct or incorrect answers you get. As you flip through the cards, remove those which you already know so that they aren't repeated.

None of these game styles are ultra-new or mind-blowing. But combining them with your SmartBoard or projector can make for a fun and productive classroom study session. They are all interactive, which means that no pencils, paper, chalk, boards, etc., are necessary.

Perhaps more importantly, our games are unit, chapter, and section specific. For example, under Roman civilization, we have five topics:

• The Establishment of the Roman Republic
• The Punic Wars
• Civil War in Rome and the End of the Roman Republic
• The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire
• The Barbarian Invasions and Migratory Period in Europe

Even better, all of our games are offered online for free. This means no CD-Roms to store, no membership fees, and no hassle. You don't even need a password or log-in to use the site and test your skill. Use these educational games and quizzes in the classroom or at home, for regular chapter tests, exam preparation, or even quiz bowl practice.

You can start by browsing our WORLD HISTORY games. If you don't see precisely what you're looking for, fret not. We are hard at work creating and uploading new games every day.

Free Educational Online Games

Our new games are up and running. These are free educational games that you can play online. They run the gamut of high school courses (and then some). We intend to add new games pretty much every day, so check back often. These games are a great way to:

1. Keep your mind sharp and focused over the summer (so that you don't 'forget' everything).
2. Prepare in advance for tough AP (Advanced Placement) and other advanced/honors courses.
3. Hone your skills for college admissions tests (such as the ACT and SAT).
4. Save yourself from mindless boredom, watching hours of reruns on TV.
5. Have fun!

As you know, our games are 100% free. You don't have to log in or any of that rigamarole. Just click on a game and start playing.

Main Game Page (Note: We wanted to get these games out to you asap, so some of the HTML may look a little wocky. The game pages are all fine, but the pages listing the games still need a bit of work. You'll see what we mean. Don't worry...we're working hard to clean up the listings pages.)
