Kill Boredom in Online Class Thru Web-Based Games

As I have mentioned in my previous post, I am currently enrolled in my graduate studies. Every Saturday is my class schedule for the three subjects. Every subject is a 3-hour online class.

My class starts from 7am to 10am, followed by 2nd from 10am to 1pm, then lastly, 2pm to 5pm. Imagine having a chemistry class in front of the computer for that period.

Although we did not consume all of the time allotted per subject, I, sometimes, feel bored and look for something to kill the boredom. I watch informative videos from Youtube, reading newsfeed on my Facebook, and play web-based online games.

Speaking of web-based online games, there are many options but most of them require registration or subscription. Fortunately, I was able to find Plays.org which offers hundreds of free web-based online games. The games were made for kids but can be for adults too.

Plays.org has various game categories to choose from. I am more into a puzzle or an educational games that tickle my brain to work. Here are some of my choices:

Poddle Weigh In

This is an entertaining mathematical game in particular to addition. You need to determine the weight of the poddle placed on one side of a weighing scale. The weight will be added slowly on the other side of the balance until you reach equilibrium. 

After determining the correct weight, an equation of what has been added will show on top of the screen.

Garfield Sentences

This interactive game helps kids to construct a sentence with the help of Garfield and Odie. 

With the jumbled set words, the player will pick what word to place first until the correct sentence is unlocked.

Space Pinball

Pinball is one of my favorite games when I started using PC. 

Strategy is to be used to keep the ball inside the playing field. The game is entertainment.

Tetra Blocks

Who can’t remember the Tetris or more commonly known as “Brick Game”? 

The main goal is to clear all the blocks and as much as possible not to touch the topmost part of the screen. As the level increases, the speed of falling bricks also increases.

3D Tangram Puzzle

3D Tangram will make your brain cells work. 

With the set of different shapes with various sizes, you need to fit it in the correct place to form the figure given in each level. Making this mind bugging game more interesting, the figures are of different animals like cats, dogs, and others.

Whatever online game you play, it is very important to have a discipline. Some of the games are addicting and may affect the study habits. As parent, it is important to monitor when to start and stop doing online games.
