Best Classroom Games for Teachers — Free Browser Picks for Indoor Recess & Sub Days

Browser game ideas for teachers to preview for classroom breaks.

This collection offers puzzle, word, casual and classic browser games for teachers to preview. Start with 2048, Wordle Unlimited, Hextris or Google Snake, then check each game on the classroom devices. We have not verified approval by any school or district. Suitability depends on student age, game features and your school's rules.

For indoor recess, picks like 2-Player Pong and BasketBros let two students share one keyboard. For early-finishers, Riddle School and The Impossible Quiz reward lateral thinking. Check your school's game and network policies before using the site in class. HTTPS alone does not imply school approval.

Frequently asked questions

Are these classroom games actually approved for K-12?

No K-12 or district approval is claimed. This collection excludes shooter and horror categories, but that does not establish age suitability. Teachers should preview the content, advertising, links and interaction features of each game.

Can I project a classroom game from a teacher computer?

You can share a browser window on a classroom display. Test the game, controls, text size and sound on the intended equipment before using it with students.

What's the best sub-day game for a Chromebook cart?

Wordle Unlimited and 2048 are quiet and self-directed. For higher-energy indoor recess, BasketBros and Rooftop Snipers split a Chromebook keyboard for two-player play, and Bloons Tower Defense gives 20-minute structured sessions.
