Roman Town: The Premiere Archaeology Video Game for Kids
Just so you know: I am a classical archaeologist and a Latin teacher. These games are great: the graphics are engaging; the information about how archaeologists work is on point; and the historical setting is accurate. Students of all ages can learn about archaeology AND the ancient world. I teach 7th-12th graders and I would use this product with ALL of my classes — anything that can supplement and enrich what we are doing in the classroom is worth trying. My students are eager to learn and these games make learning fun. Rating: 5 / 5
I got a copy for my niece who is 10 she liked it and was able to incorporate it in her report on Rome and lets her classmates try it. I’m a hit with her and her parents! Rating: 5 / 5
I have this game for my 7-year old daughter and she loves it, but I must confess I have played the entire game myself! Typically I would recommend this for 8 and up due to the reading level required for the roman terminology. In addition, I have a 5-year boy, and the careful mouse control required for the reconstruction puzzles and reading make it too advanced for him, but he likes to set the diggers in the beginning of the game and play Calculi.
Both of my kids have learned so much about Roman life playing this game! A word of warning – the first time through my daughter tried to breeze through without reading the instructions set out clearly on the screen. This made playing some of the games more difficult. So reading directions became a lesson too!
I would recommend this for both parents who want a computer game that is actually fun and educational. I would definitely recommend it for teachers and home schoolers too. I’ve talked to several friends who teach latin and ancient history for 6th graders/middle school, and they have this game in the classroom and the students love it! I hope the program designers are working on a sequel – maybe Greek Town? Or Egypt Town? Rating: 5 / 5
I enjoyed playing the game (I’m an adult) but can see how children could learn a lot about archaeology. Rating: 5 / 5
Imagine if Latin teachers in the past had had a copy of Roman Town! This is a fun, attractive, intuitive game that will entertain as well as teach archeology to most anyone from elementary school on through adulthood. In fact after a half hour or so I had to relinquish the computer to my grandchildren so that they could play. Who knew archeology could be so much fun!
