Here are links to a series of educational games designed to help educators take advantage of the material on this site. As time permits we will go through and create crossword puzzles and word searches to accompany the texts on this site. Articles with games will have an icon at the end, and each game contains a link to the article from which it was drawn. Under this system, you can go to a crossword puzzle, print it out, then follow the link to the article it was created for, and print that out.

There is even a symbolic language memory game based on ongoing studies with our orang utans. To get the answers to the puzzles, simply fill out the questionnaire provided at the game page. This questionnaire gives you a chance to give us feedback. By keeping the answers hidden, we hope to provide more of a challenge for your computer literate students.
