Editorial Guidelines

Teachers use our games in front of real classes, so our content has to be accurate, age-appropriate and genuinely useful. These guidelines explain how the ClassroomGames Editorial Team writes, checks and updates everything on the site.

1. People first

We write for the teacher who needs a game that works in the next five minutes. Every game page explains how to run the game, how long it takes, which grades it suits, what you need and how to adapt it. We add a page only when it offers something new and useful — never to fill the site with near-identical pages.

2. Classroom-safe questions

• Every question must be comfortable to answer in front of classmates. We avoid questions about family situations, money, appearance, religion, health or anything private.
• Questions for younger students use simple words and familiar topics. Seasonal content, like our Halloween games, stays silly rather than scary.
• Opinion questions never have a “wrong” answer, and students can always pass.

3. Accuracy and fact-checking

Quiz answers are checked against reliable, well-established sources before publication. We prefer facts that are stable and widely taught, and we word questions carefully so there is one clear answer, or we show the acceptable alternatives (for example “a butterfly (or a moth)”). Game rules describe common classroom practice, and we note popular variations rather than claiming one “official” version.

4. How we use AI tools

We use AI writing tools to help draft question lists, rule explanations and page text, and to suggest variations. AI output is never published unchecked. A member of our team reviews every draft, edits it for accuracy, tone and age-appropriateness, tests the game itself, and fact-checks quiz answers before publishing. We are responsible for everything on the site, however it was drafted.

5. Testing the games

Every interactive game is tested with a mouse, touch screen and keyboard, in light and dark themes, at phone and projector sizes, with reduced motion turned on, and with a screen reader for key actions. Read more in our Accessibility statement.

6. Independence

We do not accept payment to include, rank or recommend products. If we ever publish sponsored content or affiliate links, they will be clearly labeled. Advertising, if shown, is kept separate from our content and never appears inside game screens.

7. Updates and corrections

Pages show the date they were last meaningfully updated. If you spot a mistake, email hello@classroomgames.fun with the page and the problem. We check every report, fix confirmed errors quickly and update the page date when the change is significant.

8. Trademarks and original work

Our games, questions, graphics and code are our own original work. Where a game resembles a well-known format, we describe it as “-style” (for example a “Jeopardy-style” quiz board) and do not use the owner’s logos or designs.
