I had a hard time finding ones that had middle school games, but the BBC website has a lot of really fun games that could easily be used in a classroom setting. The game that I tried out was Kung-Fu sentences. It helped kids at a younger age to select parts of a sentence that go together to help Max learn Kung Fu. It was relatively easy, but the funny graphics and moves will make it enjoyable for the kids. I would have them line up and pull this screen up on a SMARTboard so that they could tap whichever part of the sentence comes next for themselves and work as a class to find the answers. This would also get them moving, which is good.

Another good website I found was the PBS website, specifically Between the Lions. I watched that show with my sister when I was little, and it helped us to learn fluency very well. The games are (again) pretty easy, but would be good for younger children. The ones who are working at their desks could write the answers in a notebook or work in pairs to try to figure out the answer.
Both these websites should help prove to kids that learning can be both fun and productive! :)
