Daily Student Games: Engaging Learning Through Play


Turn daily practice into points, progress, and real engagement.


Daily Student Games in Classroom Hero transform essential skill practice into short, repeatable learning moments students actually enjoy. With three configurable games covering math, vocabulary, and language translation, teachers can reinforce learning while students earn points — without adding extra prep work.


Making Learning Fun


Daily practice works best when students want to participate.


Daily Student Games give teachers a structured, low-friction way to reinforce core skills while keeping students motivated. Each game is educational, fast, and fully configurable so it fits your curriculum instead of fighting it.


Students earn points. Teachers get consistency. Learning happens every day.
