Sometimes they like going to FreeRice.com, and they can feel good about helping.  This is even more true if they have studied the issue of world hunger.

Fellow Librains:

I was trying to get my 8th graders off of some stupid (yes stupid) online game which is against school policy and trying to engage them with educational games that would be cool enough for school.

I had a few things up my sleeve but they weren't buying it.

What's your best success with these video gamers when they have "free computer time" in the lab?
I have had some success with code.org<http://code.org>, the program that teaches coding in a fun online game style format.
