Questions

Frequently asked questions

How will I get my resources?

Right after you buy, you get instant access to your resource in your account on our website. Check your spam folder if you do not see the email.

What do I need to use them?

Microsoft Office or Google Apps. The printable games come as PDFs, and the digital versions come in PowerPoint, Google Slides and Google Forms, so you can share them on any online learning platform.

What is the difference between I CAN Games and I CAN Mini Games?

I CAN Games cover all the standards in a unit, so they are great for reviewing before a test. I CAN Mini Games focus on one standard or skill at a time, so they are great while students are learning something new. Many teachers use both. See the I CAN Mini Games β†’

What kind of can do you use?

Tennis ball cans. They are sturdy, and you can often get them for free. Each grade has 10 games, so you need 10 cans. Pringles cans or wipes containers work too. And you don’t need a can at all: the games come with lots of other ideas for organizing them.

Are these included in a membership?

Yes. Every kindergarten through 6th grade membership includes I CAN Games for that grade, plus everything else we make for that grade.

Can I share them with other teachers?

Each teacher needs their own copy or membership. The only exception is co-teachers who teach different subjects to the same students. If your school or district would like copies for a team, send us a note through our contact page.
