I n classrooms across the country, the countdown to summer vacation has begun. The winter doldrums have always taken a toll, but in the era of test-dominated schooling and the controversial Common Core, it seems increasingly that it’s not until summer that teenagers have any prospect for having fun any more.
One of the casualties of current education reform efforts has been the erosion of play, creativity, and joy from teenagers’ classrooms and lives, with devastating effects. Researchers have documented a rise in mental health problems—such as anxiety and depression—among young people that has paralleled a decline in children’s opportunities to play. And while play has gotten deserved press in recent months for its role in fostering crucial social-emotional and cognitive skills and cultivating creativity and imagination in the early childhood years , a critical group has been largely left out of these important conversations. Adolescents, too—not to mention adults , as shown through Google’s efforts —need time to play, and they need time to play in school.
Early childhood educators have known about and capitalized on the learning and developmental benefits of play for ages. My five-year-old daughter has daily opportunities to play dress-up in her preschool classroom, transforming into a stethoscope-wearing fairy princess and tending to the imaginary creatures in her care. Her work during “center time” has all the hallmarks of what experts like psychologists David Elkind and Peter Gray define as play: she has choice in her pursuits, she self-directs her learning and exploration, she engages in imaginative creation, and she does all these things in a non-stressed state of interest and joy.
Happily, in recent research that I conducted, I found promising ways that middle school teachers are incorporating elements of play into their classrooms—with joyful results. In the classrooms I studied, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders developed governments for imaginary countries, researched and prepared “survival kits” for different climates, created board games to review social studies content they had learned, and “travelled to Afghanistan” in a game of physical geography on the playground. In each of these classroom exercises, students were allowed to make choices about what they wanted to learn, had opportunities to try on adult roles, were able to develop imaginative physical and mental creations, and importantly, enjoyed the process of learning.
Across the classrooms where teachers gave students these opportunities, the young adolescents I surveyed were happy and interested in their work. One said, “I have had one of the best school years because of this class.” Another seventh grader researched Ancient Egyptian mummification and showcased his learning in a creation he titled “Mummy monthly,” a clever magazine complete with cartoons and a reader quiz that asked, “Is your mommy a mummy?” His teacher explained to me, “this is a kid who we can hardly get to pick up a pencil.”
Similarly, in her study of high schools across the country, researcher Sarah Fine has shown the promise of what she terms “ intellectual playfulness .” Amid the passive, rote, and dulling experiences that are all too common for adolescents, Fine found teachers like Ms. Hart, who gave students time to create “physics jamz,” songs they rewrote to review physics concepts and equations. Contrary to one high school administrator in Fine’s research who said, “You have to solve the problem of rigor before you can start to work on joy,” Ms. Hart’s physics jamz highlighted that students can find their work challenging and interesting, too.
Giving students occasions to learn through play not only fosters creative thinking, problem solving, independence, and perseverance, but also addresses teenagers’ developmental needs for greater independence and ownership in their learning, opportunities for physical activity and creative expression, and the ability to demonstrate competence. When classroom activities allow students to make choices relevant to their interests , direct their own learning, engage their imaginations, experiment with adult roles, and play physically, research shows that students become more motivated and interested, and they enjoy more positive school experiences .
To be sure, there are times to be serious in school. The complex study of genocide or racism in social studies classrooms, for example, warrant students’ thoughtful, ethical engagement, while crafting an evidence-based argument in support of a public policy calls upon another set of student skills and understandings. As with all good teaching, teachers must be deliberate about their aims. But, given that play allows for particular kinds of valuable learning and development, there should be room in school to cultivate all of these dimensions of adolescent potential.
Purposefully infusing play into middle and high school classrooms holds the potential for a more joyful, creative, and educative future for us all—a future in which kids have more interesting things to do in school than count down to summer break.

Here are some fun teenage games online, that are free or mostly free to play, that you can play in your browser right now along with links on where to find them.
When you’re playing games online as a teenager, remember first and foremost to protect your safety and privacy. If you’re in a game lobby and people are making you uncomfortable, just leave and find a different lobby or server to play in, it’s not worth playing games with people who are acting strange. Make sure you don’t give out your Facebook or other personal information and remember that some of the people who are on these games don’t always have the best intentions.
With that out of the way, here are some really fun games to play and every single game on this list is free to play (but some of them do offer various things you can buy, too.)
This is a classic, free MMORPG based in a fantasy world. It’s a very grind-y game, you’ll need to do a lot of repetitive actions in order to progress. It’s a good game to play kind of mindlessly, like when you’re listening to an audiobook or some music or something.
This is an avatar-based community simulator. It’s as much of a game as an online community, but if you’re looking for a chiller digital experience, this might be up your alley. It’s been around for ages. Just remember to be careful what you tell people in chat rooms, and just stay away from any teenagers bullying in the chat, there’s always going to be some users who try to ruin the experience for other people but that’s just part of the online experience, it seems.
If you’ve already played Fortnite, available for free from the Epic games launcher, then you don’t need us to tell you about it. A lot of people who haven’t played Fortnite might have a negative impression of it, but it’s a pretty solid battle royale game, and it’s free, and there’s always new, fresh stuff happening to the game. Fortnite is a cross-platform game, meaning that if you have it for your tablet, and your friend has it on PC, and another friend has it on Playstation, everyone can still play together.
Melvor Idle is an idle/incremental game that’s really easy to play in the background. You’re not really doing a whole lot at certain points but it still feels immersive somehow. Once you start to get the hang of it, there’s something strangely addictive that keeps you coming back. It’s a crafting game, but there are also fighting elements to it, and mining for resources, and smithing items, and crafting, and so on.
Before there was Getting Over It and other frustration-inducing games of the climbing genre, there was QWOP. It’s a simple, yet devilishly difficult, running game where you control your character with the four keys Q, W, O, and P.
Here’s another endless-addicting incremental game, in the same ballpark as Melvor Idle but with less of a visual flare. These types of games can be relaxing to have going on in the background, but you can also sit there and stay actively engaged, especially if you have a movie or something to watch while you’re playing. Some people will play games like this in their browsers while looking for a match in Fortnite or League of Legends or another game.
Absolutely! This is just a quick list to give you some ideas when you’re bored. There are tons of hidden gems, and other very popular teenage games online that you can play. If you have any suggestions that you’d like to see on this list – let me know!
