There are a lot of free tools for creating 'games', but they can be difficult to configure, slow to set-up and practical, but not 'professional' in appearance.
One I use is hotpotatoes which can be inserted into Moodle (and so can be evaluated)
There's also puzzlemaker.com for worksheet crosswords, wordsearches, etc.
Alternative 2: games 'pack'
Taskmagic.co.uk have taken about 50 of these simple flash games and brought them together in one package, allowing:
- a different game each time you want to revise vocabulary, definitions, key terms and concepts (with text, graphics and sound)
- a professional, colourful interface
- immediate transfer of items from one game format to another
- full IWB compatibility
- games ranging from space invaders and football to old-fashioned card-matching
There are various sites on the web where you can find one, a couple or a collection of games made by teachers. An example is www.superteachertools.com. Xtec has a list of around 120 sites.
