classroom ACTIVITIES

As you can probably tell, we love games, but not all games have to be online. We believe tactile activities are just as important as point-and-click. That's why we've created a couple of activities for each Playnormous health game, perfect for the entire class. Some are more game-like than others, but they're all fun!
