The first of the News-Ed Games is ready for you to use. The questions consist of Current Events (US News, World News, Sports, Entertainment), This Week in History, Geography, Civics and Government, Economics, US History, and World History. Please leave comments about the game on our Contact Us page.

This week’s password is : news1

The password will be changing each week. If you would like to continue playing the game you will need to get on our mailing list and the password will automatically be sent to you each week. I don’t want to just continue posting the password here because students will then have access to the questions and answers.

The game is a lot of fun and is educational as well. Hope you and your students enjoy it.

The News-Ed Game that will debut March 1st will be a great tool for you. The game will provide current events questions that are about current events that occurred within the last few day as well as social science questions that will show which national standard is covered by the question. The instructor can either print out the game and read the questions in front of the class or they can use the game straight from the website.

The game will be free for use from March to June and will then cost only $79 for the following school year. There are other games out there but the News-Ed Game is the only one that guarantees no duplicate questions and has questions linked to national standards. We want your students to improve their awareness of the world around them and increase their scores on standardized tests. I’m sure you want the same for your students as we do.

History of the News-Ed Game

I’ve taught History, Civics, and Economics for 27 years. I love teaching social studies because you can constantly relate the past to the present and it makes teaching new all the time. I have always taken time to insert current events into my lessons. Students like to come to me with news that maybe I haven’t heard yet when they return from lunch and early in the morning. News can be exciting! The students love to have a topic of conversation and these topics invariably come up in classroom discussions.

A couple of years ago a friend of mine and I decided to start making a game that would help teachers bring current events into their classrooms. After more discussions we decided it would be even better if we could help teachers increase test scores of their students on standards based tests. So we came up with a game that has both current events and social science questions that can be used in any classroom or home-school environment. This can be a stand alone lesson or as a filler when you have those few extra minutes at the end of a class period. We will be including United States History, World History, Geography, Government, Economics, as well as current event questions. The current events questions will be a mix of politics, national news, sports, and entertainment. We want the students to have fun as they learn.

I have found that competition in the classroom is a great motivator. So I like the competition of the News-Ed Game. I also reward first, second, and third place finishers with extra credit. This is a great game to play when you have a substitute! The sub will have fun along with the students and the students will be learning. Just think, a lesson for a sub that you don’t have to prepare!

I’m confident that you will find the News-Ed Game to be a great addition to your curriculum. We have made it very affordable and free of any extra planning on your part.
