In my opinion educational video games are helpful for many reasons. Kids spend lots of time playing games, so why not learn while playing games? Games let you learn how to solve problems, see how well you are doing, have fun, and work with a team.  Video games also allow you to be creative. Some games let you unlock levels, solve puzzles, or even build cities.  

Educational video games let children work at their own speed. It’s fun to beat a level of a game. Kids would want to learn more, so they can level up. Kids can also see how they are improving. If you beat a level in a math game, you can go to the next level.  

You can learn with your friends and help each other if you play games online. Working as a team makes learning more exciting. Playing games can also help kids remember things. If it’s fun to practice math facts, you will practice and learn more. Playing video games make kids want to learn. These are the reasons that kids should play educational video games in the classroom.

And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
