Games

This is a game about the ancient weapons in Mesopotamia. In the game you are an archaeologist who is at a dig site. You match your finds to the drawing of the actual one. It tells you what each ancient is and what it is made of. This game is great to learn about all the ancient weapons the Mesopotamians used in battle.

This is a great interactive Egyptian game to learn about their Gods. All you need to do is click on a picture of the God you want to learn more about and it tells you information about it. It tells you what type of God it is and what the God is known for.

The Egyptian Map is a great interactive site to how people they main places in Egypt. All you have to do is drag a name from the right and drop it where you think it goes. At the end you can check all your answers to see if you were right.

This game is about finding out which objects on a Roman street do not belong. You click on the object, and it will tell you if you are right or wrong then describe the object. I really liked how interactive it was, and how much information you received when you clicked on the object. It just enough to capture your attention and get something out of it, but not too long so you got bored.

You pick a character that will be used as a your teacher, and every time you get a question right, it builds a catapult to fling your teacher. You are asked 15 various questions on ancient Roman history. This game was good for kids because the questions were easy to understand.

In this game, you find you way to Egypt, and then must find the Tomb you are told to look for. Then, you enter the tomb and you are given directions on how to navigate throughout the tomb. I liked this game, but it was a lot of written things that needed to be read. It would have been nice to be a little more interactive.
