Wouldn't you love to amaze the kids in your life with fun educational games that you made for them yourself?
I made my first educational computer game to help my students learn English. As much as I enjoyed making the games, seeing the faces of children as they learned that someone who grew up with a steam-powered TV set could make computer games was even more fun!
You can continue to learn more about making games on this page or just click the button to start making your first game today. The lessons are free and we’ll use free software too.
I Can Make Computer Games - and So Can YOU!
If you had to describe a computer game maker, I guess you’d probably be thinking young, uber-trendy, perhaps tattooed and with piercings in places that really shouldn’t be pierced.
I’m Kate and I make computer games – that’s me in the photo there.
Clearly, I am absolutely not your stereotypical game maker😂 But I am someone who loves logic puzzles, is constantly seeking new outlets for my creativity and has a passion for supporting others.
I started creating educational games in 2010 when, as an ESL teacher, I was finding it increasingly difficult to find quality, safe resources which weren’t packed with ads and other nasties (a situation which has not got any better in recent years).
I started with a few interactive resources, but the game-making bug bit hard! Turns out, my students weren’t the only ones hooked – I loved building games!
Would you like to create educational games for the young ones in your life too?
These are just some of the reasons why you might want to start making your own games.
- You are a parent, teacher, relative, educator and you want to create safe fun educational games which you know are safe and follow your teaching methods and material.
- You love puzzles of all descriptions and appreciate the workout that they give your brain. You are interested in exploring a new way to give your brain a workout.
- You are a creative person and are looking for a new interesting outlet for your creativity.
- You are looking for new unique content for your website/membership/classroom to create a fun experience for your students.
If you’d like to give it a go, why not follow along with my free lesson and make your first custom game for your children, grand children, favorite nephews and nieces or students. We’re going to use free software, so it’s completely risk-free.

Make Learning Fun
Educational games are a great way to help students learn. Use games to help reinforce and extend their classroom learning. Games are also a great additional resource for homeschoolers, private tutors and anyone looking to make education and learning a little more fun!
Play On All Devices
I will teach you how to make games in HTML5 format, which means they can be loaded onto almost every website and played offline as well as online. I even have a free game loader which will let you upload a game to your WordPress website at the touch of a button! Don’t have a website? No problem, we’ll show you many ways you can share your finished games.
Safe, Secure and Child Friendly
While there are numerous educational game portals out there – many are packed full of ads, pop-ups or inappropriate material. When you create your own games, you can guarantee there will be no nasty surprises for your young ones and students.
Educational Games Made Easy!
My aim at EduGamery is to focus on making educational computer games.
We will be using the Construct 3 game engine (many of our tutorials use the free version so you can start learning without any long term financial commitment 🙂 ). Our aim is to introduce game making to non-game makers!
Make Games for Your Website
While you absolutely don’t need a website to make and share educational games – if you do have a website, games are a great addition! Not only are they a great benefit for your readers, giving a fun learning experience, they are also great for your website as games encourage people to stay on the page and engage with the page – which is important for site SEO.
Customizable Educational Games
Our plan is to also build a library of customizable educational games. Add your own word lists (for example swap out our English words for another language or change the vocabulary topic) You can even can add your own graphics, sound and adapt the game play (think how cool it would be to add your own voice or the voice of your students or use your own artwork). Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know when this service is launched 🙂
