Internet Games & Programs

    These are the only links you may use to play games. Some of the links have links to other sites, but you may not go there. Stay within the  given sites. There will be loss of privileges if you do not follow the rules. If you have suggestions of other sites, please write the link on a piece of paper with your name and give it to Ms. Riley in the MC. Games played at school need to be school appropriate and have some educational value. Playing games on the Internet is a privilege not a right. Some games will need a login set up. Please talk to Ms. Riley before doing so. For most game sites use the Firefox Browser. REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR HEADPHONES AWAY!
