I think the game is great because you can learn different countries and what they are good at
I think that the game is interesting because you can compete with other groups to see who gets a higher score.
I find the game quite interesting because you are trying to get the highest score, and while doing that you learn some Africa country names.
African Inspirer really helped me a lot with the locations of the countries in Africa. First I thought it would be boring but actually i find it quiet interesting and fun. I hope next time if we have time we can play that game again.
I think the game is intersting as it teacches what countries have. Seeing how many nateral resoucews they have you start thinking why don't they keep more of this for them sevles I think theta what some of the richer countries have started to do.
I agree with lawrence it's fun to compete.
While playing African Infpirer, I noticed that a lot of countries in Africa are extremely small while others like Sudan are really big. I enjoy how the game allows students to think and learn how to plan everything we do before we start. It also allows us to see how much we improved in our planning after each round.
Responding to Bryan's comment: I also think that this game would really help a student learn what each country's name is and what kinds of resources they have and how much. This game is actually very educational.
This game taught me the African country names and what they produce when I was having fun =) I thought this game was really exciting, and I would love to play it again ;)
I agree with vickie. I also thought at first that this game would be boring but it was pretty interesting.
I agree with Lawrence...The Game is really interesting and it gets your attention. You can also compete highschores with people in your group!
Responding to Wei-Shi's Comment: Indeed, this game does make students plan before taking action. Without planning, all of us would've gotten a lower score in the game.
African Inspirer helps me learn where the different countries are in Africa and what they specialize in producing. Its alot funner than doing worksheets or reading textbooks.
Responding to Wei-Shi's Comment: Indeed, this game does make students plan before taking action. Without planning, all of us would've gotten a lower score in the game.
Wei-shi: The game does help us plan and think ahead, which is another thing that this game teaches us to do.
I learned where in Africa there are stuff like cacao, gold and stuff. I also think the game is interesting with the bonus questions and stuff. I think i did this last year not sure in Mr. j's class but i had no clue what it was. Besides that i think the game helps us learn the African countries and learn what they are famous for and things like that. Also i think it is a suitable game for this unit we are doing and a educational game.
I learned a few country names in Africa throughout the game (the ones i passed by a lot.) I learned some products from africa (coffee, gold, cotton, etc.) and i thought playing the game was a really easy way to learn those things.
i agree with lawrence. i think competition makes the game more intresting to a lot of people. It makes people want to play the game more and that helps them learn.
i learned alot of things in the africa game. learned new country names and learned learn...errr something NEW! x) yesyes its veryy useful.
yes lin. i agree it is easy to learn by playing this game.
I find the game quite intresting, since you need to use some brain power to figure out a route to make you get the highest point. Also you can learn some African country names!!
I think that the game is good since you need to think to make a good plan and also it teaches you what country produces what kind of resources
Reply to Lawrence:
I also think that competition makes the game more fun to play than when you play by yourself
One thing I knoticed about the game is that the last place you move to is the next place you start out with. (well, atleast in Kasey's and mine)
i disagree with loren w. since i dn't know if the resources are really there.
I think that Marina had a point about how you learn the names of Africa when you play. The current name I recall is "Tunisia". It reminds me of tuna fishia. Haha...:)
My opinion in this game is high, as you can learn more about what countries there are in africa. I also like this game because you have to plan before you take action, or else u will result in a lower score
Lawrence is right. One of the reasons why this game is so interesting is because you can compete with others for a better score.
i think that this game was kind of boring but a great time killer for spare time.
i agree with bryan. You do learn something about a country.
i think that the game is very educational and I think it's quite fun to plan out the journey.
oh and I agree with Clement, which equals agrees with Bryan, so mainly I agree with Bryan. Um..yes, it lets you learn about the different African countries......
Very.Useful.And.Fun
Reponding to Clement Comment: I agree with Clement that it was a great time killer for spare time.
Africa Inspirer is a great game for you to learn different countries located in Africa and what they made, what they have, their popularity, and elevation!!!
I learned many different place in Africa. At first i did not pay any attention to this country, so i did not that Africa was such a big country that produced soo many things!
I think That the Interactive eduactianol Game was really fun since you can learn about each place and where it is while you have fun. I think it is a wonderful program.>.<
I agree with Lawrence since it is an interesting game.
Yes, i agree to lin. Playing games is soo fun and at the same time you are learning something too!
Me too Vickie. I just love playing games.
After playing the game, I learned the location and name of a few countries in Africa, which is helpful. I also learned that some certain countries have mass production of a certain item.
I agree with Sunny, African Inspirer is very useful.
Same as everyone else, I think that the Africa Inspiration Game is a very good way to start memorizing the countries in Africa and also figure out some shortcuts from a country to another. This game made me notice some tiny countries that I never knew were there and also, this taught me some interesting facts about the countries. However, I think that the most important thing that I learned by playing this game was to always read the directions first.
I agree with Mika that it is a really fun way to learn about Africa.
I think that this game is really unique because it's fun and educational.
I think the game is fun since you can compete with other groups, but it is also educational. You can learn a lot about the countries in Africa and how they provide supplies and resources for the rest of the world.
I agree with Wei-shi. Planning is very important. When you plan, you can avoid mistakes.
I agree with Evan. You really have to plan well or else you'll end up with a very low score.
African Inspirer helped me learn a lot of different countries in Africa, names and locations. When I played that game, it was actually pretty interesting. I liked the way we had to try to find as many places of the resources we had to find; and plan before that. It's fun to compete against your classmates and see who gets the highest scores.
I think Clement is right. It is a great time killer. WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO THE ERB
I agree with Alice that we should always read the directions first. I thought that the higher the number of the resource, the higher scores we'll get. but it turned out the opposite way. That was when my partner and I realized why our scores were so low.
i think it helps you see visually what the country is like, and you will be able to understand it more... and you compete! : )
The game of Africa Inspirer is actually quite fun and it really helps you learn about the different countries.
i agree with vickie too because i thought at first the game was going to be boring, but it turned out to be fun
I think the game was very enjoyable since we were able to make our own decisions by choosing where we decided to go next in the game. At the same time, it was also educational since we could learn about different resources in each country and the names of each country in Africa.
I agree with Vickie because playing this game was able to teach me many interesting facts about Africa that I didn't know before.
While playing Africa Inspirer, I noticed that Africa has many resources, and is a continent very vital to the world. I also learned the names of the countries.
agree with lin, i also learned where the counries are, especially the ones i passed by often
i agree with elsie. also, this game can help us alot with memorizing the country names since you have to find the countries with the same resources or countries clsoe to them.
I think that the Africa Inspirer game is great because you get to know the different countries and what resources they have.
I agree with Gregory. It's fun and educational.
Although I wasn't here when you guys played the game, but it seems to really teach us a lot about Africa during the game. However, I have seen some websites about African cultures too.
By the way, its Elton here E.T
Agree with almost EVERYONE. Game sounds educational and fun since more than 55 comments said it really helps you learn about Africa in an interesting way.
agree with everyone else this game is very educational and taught me all about the country names.
I think that this game is very interesting because you learn about the different countries wealth and competes on each other for higher scores.
I learned that Africa produces many valuable products like soybeans or cotton that are important to the rest of the world. I agree with vicky that the game helped you learn the countries of africa.
The games were really interesting...I agree with Lawrence, You can compete with other people (highscores).
The games were really interesting and attracting. I agree with Lawrence, you can compete with people on highscores!

1 more thing.... alice has a good point.. ALWAYS read the direction first. x)
I agree with lawrence, this game is interesting as you can compete with other groups
I agree with Vickie and Marina I learned more country names. From the game.
I also think that this game is very fun because there are extra questions that you can do, itsfun to learn while playing
I know, Jen. We thought that the higher the numbers were on the map, the more points we would get, and we were so happy until we read the directions. We were near tears!!! (that's sort of exaggerating)
I agree with Evan: When you play this game you really can learn the countries in the game.
