What Is Google Classroom 6x? – Play Games Free At School
I stumbled upon a fantastic resource that can be used by teachers to help bolster and brighten up their online lessons.

Classroom 6x, which is hosted on Google sites, has an array of games that can be played on the browser, just like in the early days of the web with flash based games! No sign up is needed and there are hundreds of games to choose from.

Why Classroom 6x Is Good For Teachers
As a teacher, it is hard to find interactive resources to use when teaching on ZOOM or Google classroom at the ready. Before, Twinkl was my go to site to find educational games that were built on Microsoft Powerpoint. They were effective in my lessons but the games were clunky and there wasn’t much variety on the site. You can find the typical quiz style games, but it has it limitations.
Even though I teach at home and can download anything to help me with my lessons, I realized that with my school laptop, there is a security system in place that limits teachers in their preparations. Now, there are ways to get around that, such as using a second device to share and broadcast materials, but that is a lot of work! Also we have to consider in some countries, they may not have the funding for top of the line devices or even the knowledge to find and run programs that can help them with their lessons.
So Classroom 6x is a perfect fit for teachers, especially for those that aren’t tech savvy. It is a simple website with their library on the side, so the teacher just simply has to click on the game they want to use in their lessons. Don’t forget to broadcast the right screen/window!
Final Thoughts
Classroom 6x is a fantastic free resource that teachers should consider using to spice up their lessons. I personally will be exploring their library for my next ZOOM lesson to see if there are any games that I can play with my students to bolster their concentration levels and enjoyment!
For parents, this a great site for your child to use as the library is not only free, but the content is PG friendly. The games are single player, meaning your child won’t have any interactions with others. So consider this website a safe platform for them to explore!
