Family Tree

 

 

Geni

This tool lets you instantly start building up a family tree and you can invite people you add by email so they can also start adding to the same tree. This was used in a school as part of an 'All About Me' topic and apparently it really got the community involved and families found it a really easy to use and useful tool.

Samorost Two

Created by Amanita Design, these lovely point and click games are guaranteed to enthrall all who play them. They would be awesome for using to prompt creative writing or instructional writing. The problem solving skills needed to play are also great brain gym. The first game features a smoking character who seems a little 'out of it' so may not be suitable for kids but the second game has no such issues. It is called a 'Point and Click' game as that is how you play - by clicking on areas of the screen to make things happen. This might seem to be an easy thing to do but finding the right places to click and in the correct order is no easy feat! Not all the levels of Samorost Two are included in the free online version and you need to pay to download the full version (but not very much).

 

Questionaut

This is a game specifically designed for the BBC education website and is to help children learn facts about English, Science and Maths. You still have to point and click in order to get the characters on each screen to ask the questions. Each correct answer means that you move to another level as your hot air balloon fills up. A great game.

 

 

 

Rooms

This is a game I tripped over one day on the web and spent an engrossing number of hours making my way through the levels (and I am not someone that is a gamer as a rule). The game is set in a mysterious mansion with rooms that move and that contain magical items to help you make your way through. Using both mouse and keyboard, use the items you find and slide the rooms into the correct configuration to make your escape. It starts off deceptively easily and then gets quite difficult. A great problem solving game with excellent graphics. The only draw back is the large file sizes for it to

The Minuet Mixer comes from the wonderful New York Philharmonic Game Room.  Students can create and play their own minuets.  The url for their compositions can be emailed and posted on a blog or online journal.

 

Once you go to Soundbadge, you have to answer several questions about yourself.  Based on the answers, a unique musical sound is created.  You can then email the url of your “soundbadge” and post it on a blog, website or online journal. DON'T USE YOUR REAL NAME!

 

Contrapunctus Variations (what a name!) lets you create musical compositions with your computer mouse. It’s difficult to explain in a post, but once you go there it will become clear. You can save your composition, describe it, and email the link for posting in a blog or teacher’s website.  No registration is required.

With the Carol-Maker you can compose a never-heard-before mashup of strange grunts with classic Christmas songs, and email it to a friend (or enemy).

Here’s another site where you can make your own music - this time from The Make Your Own Music Game. Email your creation for posting on a website or blog.

You can compose your own song of musical animals sounds at Nim’s Island Animal Jukebox, and then email it to a friend or teacher for posting on a website or blog.

 

The Japanese Federation of Construction Contractors have created Build Up!. It lets you “build” a skyscraper of music made by construction tools. It’s pretty neat. Much of the site is in English, the part about emailing your creation is in Japanese, but just click on some things and you’ll figure it out.

Jam Studio and seems pretty easy to use. English Language Learners can very quickly compose a song, email and post the url.

I like two music games designed by a creative designer named Luke Whittaker.

 

His latest creation is an amazing online video game called Sound Factory.  I Basically,  you role-play a man in a factory who get to create music.  That description, however, does not in any way do the game justice.  it is in our Making Music Interactive lessons page under Make Music 

In A Break In The Road students can again create their own musical composition.  It’s not quite a game, but I won’t even attempt to describe it.  Check it out for yourself.
