What teachers are saying about Doubloon Island

I would most definitely use this game as part of my curriculum.

-- Oregon Elementary Teacher

The students really enjoyed the activity and it focused their attention on old information in a new way, reinforcing knowledge and skills they don’t always realize they know.

-- Oregon High School Teacher

Everyone LOVED the battles. The game could be easily customized to fit different content (like irregular past tense verbs for my ESL students).

-- Wisconsin Elementary Teacher

The students really like the game and I think it would make a great Center to use during independent work time (or indoor recess when we have bad weather).
