For the Vintage Gamer in You - Part 2

Here is another vintage game you will enjoy - Yes, you the teacher will enjoy it.  More importantly though, your students will absolutely love this game.  This game is meant for K-3 level kids, but all  kids and adults have a hoot with them.  When you tell them about it, remember to tell them that they will fail over and over again and they will not make it, YET! However, if they persevere, practice and change their thinking to problem solve how to best make it - They will succeed!

This online DOS game from the late 1980s – Fantastic and worth going to right now! This is great for Primary kids (Pre K, Kindergarten right up to Grade 3). I can't believe how much fun these type of games still are and so easy to play and easy for a teacher to play too.  This is Word Rescue - match pictures to words, collect goo, spell hidden words and run around to collect all these to get a key to go to the next level.  I can't believe how much fun this simple game still is almost 30 years later!

You can also choose to play Full Screen

Press the spacebar to get started;  Press ENTER;  Type in your name

Use the Arrow keys to move: Left, Right, Up (jump/climb), Down (climb down). You can use the up and left/right keys together to jump and pretty much fly across left or right

Use the spacebar to drop goo on the bad guy ... figure things out on your own - It's easy! Have fun!
