Games that require the internet and a projector/shared computer

• Dig It Up: The Romans

• Gladiator: Dressed to Kill

• The Roman Mysteries Game

• Death in Rome (Warning: solving a murder; may be too gory for some audiences)

• Viking Quest (Set in a very late period, but still fun. It is attested that Vikings played the game hnefatafl.)

Game that requires preparation

• Rota (print boards or have students draw them, make markers)

Games that don’t require preparation

• The Dictionary Game
• One word stories: Students retell a story from a reading (in Latin or English), with each saying one word to make up a complete sentence and then paragraphs
